W: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed. Did he get pensioned off at last?
M: Yes. They made him retire after fifty years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is past it. W: He is all alone, isn’t he?
M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter. Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn’t heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.
W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
M: I don’t suppose she’ll come. She never got on with her father. He is a bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.
W: Are you his doctor?
M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.
W: That bad-tempered old thing?
M: Oh, he isn’t really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.
W: Yes. I teach the daughter Pen at school. She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work, but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group.
Questions:
Why does old Jake look terribly depressed?
What do we learn about Jake’s wife?
What does the man say about Jake’s daughter?
What does the man say about Jake’s doctor?
选项
A、His health is getting worse.
B、He can no longer work at sea.
C、His past life upsets him a good deal.
D、He has not got the expected pension.
答案
B
解析
细节题。本题询问为什么Jake特别沮丧。根据原文可知,在海上工作50年后,Jake被迫退休了,对此他非常难受,由此可见,他不在海上工作了。下一句中的past it是一种非正式说法,意为“不能胜任了,年龄超过了”,故选B。
