问题     After losing her job and home in 1984, Lynn Carr was living on the streets of St. Charles, Montana, with her five-year-old son. "We slept in our car for about a week," she said, "but then it was sold. "
   As she moved from one friend’s house to another, Carr began working toward a high-school-equivalence diploma(高中同等学历证书), listening to self-help tapes and making cheesecakes. After developing some new methods which she thought were pretty good, she offered her cakes to a restaurant. They sold out in a matter of hours.
   The following year, she met a man at a church service and before long, they married. Carr began selling the cheesecakes out of their home. Later she opened a cheesecake company. As business became better and better, Carr didn’t forget where she came from.
   All the women she hires are mothers or high school dropouts(退学者) — workers most other employers wouldn’t like to hire. Her dozen workers make 100 to 150 cakes a week and Carr owes her success to her employees. She says, "We’re going to have a learning center and a day-care center in the company. Part of the workday will be spent studying for high-school-equivalence diplomas. "
   Recently, a 33-year-old woman with three children to raise was referred to Carr. She hired her at once. "It has been a real blessing(恩赐),"the woman said. [br] Which of the following can be learned from the text?
选项 A、People like Lynn Carr’s cheesecakes very much.
B、Lynn Carr’s cheesecakes are sold to high school dropouts.
C、Lynn Carr learned to make cheesecakes by taking courses.
D、Without finishing high school, one cannot even make good cakes.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句：They sold out in a matter of hours(几个小时就卖掉了)及第三段最后一句前半部分所说的她的生意越来越好可以推知，人们喜欢她做的奶酪蛋糕，选[A]。
