In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day.
Then one morning, as I was hanging out the "Going Out of Business" sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas in the offices. "1 don’t know anything about plants," she said. "I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead."
While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing.[24]Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By 6 o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day,[25]we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.
22. What do we learn about the greenhouse?
23. What was the speaker doing when a customer walked in one morning?
24. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?
25. What was the speaker’s hope for the future?
选项
A、It was located in a park.
B、Its owner died of a heart attack.
C、It went bankrupt all of a sudden.
D、Its potted plants were for lease only.
答案
B
解析
本题是细节题。说话人提到,去年自己供职的花房的主人因心脏病突发去世,故可知B项正确。该花房最终有了新的业务方向,并未停业,故选项C错误;选项A、D文中均未提及,故排除。
