Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery; giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. " Wasn’ t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?" I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’ t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints. " [br] The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because ______.
选项
A、he knew what such a note would mean to the post office
B、he had discovered giving-away made life more exciting
C、he believed he would get something back by doing so
D、the postman delivered an important letter in time
答案
D
解析
本题问的是原因,从原文中可以找到“I wrote the postmaster a note ofappreciation(我给邮政局局长写了一封感谢信)”与题干部分的结果相同。从这句的前后文寻找构成因果关系的句子,便可以找到原因在前一句中“delivered an importantspecial delivery letter to my home”.所以答案为D。
