When I first came to the United States, I was told that I should apply for my social security number. So I took the bus down to the Social Security Office. The office was busy, with several people waiting in line. When it was my turn, the officer gave me a long form and told me to fill it out and return it to him. I took my form, found a seat, and sat down to fill it out.
I read over the form several times, but, to my frustration, I still could not make any sense out of it. I felt terrible, and began to doubt my ability to survive in America. "Oh, dear," I thought, "If this is so difficult for me, how will I ever get through school?" After trying again and again to read and understand the form, I finally said to myself, "Even with all the years I’ve studied English, I haven’t learned enough vocabulary to fill out a basic form. But I must apply for a social security number. There is no way around it. I will have to get help." So I reluctantly approached the officer for help. "Excuse me, sir. Could you help with this form? I’m a newcomer here, and I can’t understand it." The officer looked over the form, and said in surprise, "Oh no, I’ve made a mistake. This form is in Spanish. Here, take a new form." Was I embarrassed! He gave me the new form, and I filled it out in a few minutes. Two weeks later, I received notice of my social security number.
I have been in the United States for two years now, but I still can’t forget that embarrassing moment during my first visit to the Social Security Office.
选项
A、Because he filled out the wrong form.
B、Because the officer laughed at him.
C、Because he didn’t know what form to get.
D、Because he didn’t realize the form was in Spanish.
答案
D
解析
综合推断题。基于对整篇文章的理解,可以知道作者一直把西班牙文当成英文来读,并没有意识到这个错误,所以,他为自己的粗心大意和英文水平而感到尴尬。答案为选项D。
