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.
According to the last two paragraphs, Lynn Cart is trying ______.
选项 A、to turn her home into a learning center
B、to hire more moms and high school graduates
C、to develop more new methods to make better cakes
D、to help people who have the familiar background as she did
答案D
解析 推理判断题。文章最后两段说明了她雇用一些已经成为母亲的人和高中退学者，就是为了说明第三段最后一句中说“她并未忘记自己的出身”这一句，结合文章前面几段对她经历的描述可知，这些人应当都是与她有相似的经历，故答案是[D]。
