问题    Fred, a very conscientious worker, had one serious flaw: he was clumsy. The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.
   One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.
   Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he would be fired. The young man’s spirits began to drop.
   "I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for," the manager said sternly.
   "How much is the vase worth?" Fred asked.
   "$350."
   A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. "That’s wonderful!" he shouted happily. "At last I have a steady job!" [br] What can be inferred from the story?
选项 A、Fred would never lose his job again.
B、It was difficult for Fred to find a steady job.
C、Fred did not like his earlier jobs.
D、The manager was a kind-hearted man.
答案 B
解析 第一段第二句说明了本题答案：The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job。因为弗莱德笨手笨脚的毛病，让他很难再找一份稳定的工作。正确答案选B。
