问题     I rushed into an ugly shop to have the heels (鞋后跟) of my shoes repaired. "Please hurry," I begged.
    The shoemaker looked at me over his glasses. "Now, lady, we won’t be long. I want to do a good job. You see, I have a tradition to live up to. My father always told me to do the best job on every shoe that comes into the shop, and be proud of the fine work."
    I left the shop with a warm and grateful feeling. This was the beginning of our friendship.  Since then I went into his shop every few days just to talk with him.
    One day I went in disappointed and angry because o{ a poor job some painters had done for me. I thought they just wanted to collect their money for doing nothing. He told me mo matter what sort of work a man did, if he gave it his best each day, he was starting a tradition  for his children to live up to and making lots of happiness for himself.
    I went to Europe for a few months, When I returned, I learned that the old shoemaker suddenly had got sick two weeks ago and died a few days later. I went home with a heavy heart. He had left me something—an important piece of wisdom (名言) I shall always remember: "If you have a prideful tradition, you must carry it on; if you have not, then start building one now."  [br] The old shoemaker died ______.
选项 A、a few months after the lady went to Europe
B、two weeks after the lady returned from Europe
C、only a few days before the lady went to Europe
D、a few days after the lady returned from Europe
答案 A
解析 事实细节题。从文章最后一段第一句和第二句可知，老鞋匠是在作者从欧洲回来之前的两周得了急病，只过于几天就去世了。而作者去欧洲停留了几个月的时间，所以总的来说，老鞋匠是在作者去欧洲后的几个月之后去世的。
