There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.
According to the passage, President Jackson________.
选项
A、couldn’t draw up any documents at all
B、didn’t like to read important papers by himself
C、often had his assistants sign documents for him
D、wasn’t good at reading or spelling
答案
D
解析
细节题。见原文第二段第二句“he had difficulty reading and writing”,意思是“他在阅读和写作方面都有困难”,第二段最后一句“The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell”,意思是“问题是他不会拼写”,只有选项D“他拙于阅读、写作和拼写”与原文相符。选项C“他让他的助手替他签署文件”与原文所说“他让助手把文件读给他听”不符。
