Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery; giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. " Wasn’ t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?" I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’ t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints. " [br] In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said______.
选项
A、it was the special delivery
B、it was the post-office box
C、it was the note of appreciation he wrote
D、it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago
答案
D
解析
这是一道推理题,文中倒数第三行中我们可以看到作者的回答是“Yes.”虽未具体回答,但显然是肯定对方的问题,所以答案应该从问句中寻找。所以从问句“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery toyour home?”来看显然应该选D项。
