After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. "Nothing has come for you, "he was told. This went on for two weeks and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.
In the fourth week Mr. Frank was .arrested for failing to pay his hotel hill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for six days.
When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher bank. The clerk he spoke to was a nevi man. "Have you received $ 500 for me? "he ask, "My name is Jackson Frank."
The clerk checked his books. "Yes, Jackson, it’s here. It came by telegram. --let me see--oh, more than two months ago. We wondered where you were. "He showed Mr. Frank the order.
The order read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $ 500..."
"But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson."
"Oh, that’ s all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter ’J’ , but it’s your money. "The clerk laughed, "A human mistake, sir! We’ re all human beings, aren’t we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me."
Mr Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody. At last he said, "A human mistake——is that what you call it? I think some humans need kicking." [br] Jackson was arrested and sent to prison because______.
选项
A、his brother hadn’t sent him any money and he couldn’t pay his hotel bill
B、he had spent almost all his money and couldn’t pay his hotel bill
C、he had lost all his money and couldn’t pay his hotel bill
D、his brother hadn’t sent hint as much money as he asked for and he couldn’t pay his hotel bill
答案
B
解析
见原文第三段第一句"In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.”因此得知Mr. Jackson被捕的直接原因是未能支付旅馆费用,四个选项均符合。使用排除法:A、D分别指出他的兄弟未汇款和他的兄弟汇款数目不足,均不正确。C他的钱丢了,更未提到,因此选择B。
