When I first came to the United States, I was told that I should apply for my social security number. So I took the bus down to the Social Security Office. The office was busy, with several people waiting in line. When it was my turn, the officer gave me a long form and told me to fill it out and return it to him. I took my form, found a seat, and sat down to fill it out.
I read over the form several times, but, to my frustration, I still could not make any sense out of it. I felt terrible, and began to doubt my ability to survive in America. "Oh, dear," I thought, "If this is so difficult for me, how will I ever get through school?" After trying again and again to read and understand the form, I finally said to myself, "Even with all the years I’ve studied English, I haven’t learned enough vocabulary to fill out a basic form. But I must apply for a social security number. There is no way around it. I will have to get help." So I reluctantly approached the officer for help. "Excuse me, sir. Could you help with this form? I’m a newcomer here, and I can’t understand it." The officer looked over the form, and said in surprise, "Oh no, I’ve made a mistake. This form is in Spanish. Here, take a new form." Was I embarrassed! He gave me the new form, and I filled it out in a few minutes. Two weeks later, I received notice of my social security number.
I have been in the United States for two years now, but I still can’t forget that embarrassing moment during my first visit to the Social Security Office.
选项
A、It was the wrong form.
B、He had no social security number.
C、The vocabulary was net too specific.
D、He couldn’t read.
答案
A
解析
综合理解题。因为当作者提出疑问,officer发现他发错了申请表,作者不懂西班牙语,当然无法填写。因此答案选A。
