While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran’ short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $ 500. "Send the money by telegram, "he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P..."
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] The clerks put his name under the wrong letter______.
选项
A、through carelessness.
B、because they were human beings
C、because he had a strange name
D、by pronouncing his name incorrectly
答案
A
解析
见原文倒数第二段“A human mistake,sir! We’re all human beings,aren’t we?...”其中易造成混淆的答案是B "because they were human beings”,这是银行出纳员给自己的错误找的借口。而真正的原因是他的疏忽,因此选A。
