问题     I rushed into an ugly shop to have the heels (鞋后跟) of my shoes repaired. "Please hurry," I begged.
    The shoemaker looked at me over his glasses. "Now, lady, we won’t be long. I want to do a good job. You see, I have a tradition to live up to. My father always told me to do the best job on every shoe that comes into the shop, and be proud of the fine work."
    I left the shop with a warm and grateful feeling. This was the beginning of our friendship.  Since then I went into his shop every few days just to talk with him.
    One day I went in disappointed and angry because o{ a poor job some painters had done for me. I thought they just wanted to collect their money for doing nothing. He told me mo matter what sort of work a man did, if he gave it his best each day, he was starting a tradition  for his children to live up to and making lots of happiness for himself.
    I went to Europe for a few months, When I returned, I learned that the old shoemaker suddenly had got sick two weeks ago and died a few days later. I went home with a heavy heart. He had left me something—an important piece of wisdom (名言) I shall always remember: "If you have a prideful tradition, you must carry it on; if you have not, then start building one now."  
The lady formed a friendship with the old shoemaker because ______.

选项 A、she had the heels of her shoes repaired by him
B、he did a good job to the heels of her shoes
C、she went into his shop every few days to talk with him
D、he taught her an important piece of wisdom

答案D

解析 推理判断题。文章中并未直接提出两人成为朋友的原因。但是从文章第三段第一句可知,作者带着感激的心情离开了鞋匠的店铺,最后一段义提到永远忘不了老鞋匠的名言。可见作者是因为欣赏老鞋匠做人的道理而与他交朋友的。所以选D。
