The English author (writer), Richard Savage, was once living in London in great poverty. In order to earn (make) a little money, he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the book had been sold in the shop, and
Savage was living from hand to mouth
. As a result of his lack of food, he became very ill, but after a time, because of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadn’t any money and couldn’t pay for it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again, but still no money came. After several weeks, he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savage’s house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, "You know you owe your life to me and I expected some gratitude (thankfulness) from you. "
"I agree, " said Savage, "that I owe my life to you, and to prove to you that I am not ungrateful for your work I will give my life to you. " With these words he handed to him two copies entitled, THE LIFE OF RICHARD SAVES.
The doctor took the books home and began to read them carefully. "I see I’ve saved the life of a great writer, "the doctor said to himself with a sense of pride, "Maybe this is the only thing I could be really proud of in my life. "
Five years later, Savage called on the doctor to pay his bill, only to find that the doctor had already passed away.
In the text the underlined sentence"Savage was living from hand to mouth"means_________
选项
A、Savage had clothes to wear and food to eat
B、Savage had no money to buy clothes and food
C、Savage was very poor and ill
D、Savage was too poor to live on
答案
D
解析
根据文章第二句话“In order to earn(make)a little money,he had written the story of his life,but not many copies of the book had been sold in the shop.”可知,为了赚一点儿钱,萨维奇撰写生平故事,但他写的书在书店销量并不好,因此没有钱来让自己生存下去。所以D项“Savage was too poor to live on.”最符合题意。故选D。
