Ann Curry s a famous news presenter of the NBC News " Today" show. When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore n her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she’ d like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: She served coffee in the student union(学生会), was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one „, the most satisfying jobs.
One day a woman came into the bookstore and lasted Ann for boots on cancer(癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered he pride she felt in having helped her customer.
Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
Ann persuaded her boss to et her do the story . After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.
Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!
At McCarley’s bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the programmes , helping them make sense of the world.
What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?
选项
A、Helping people through work.
B、Reporting interesting stories.
C、Being able to do different jobs well.
D、Paying through her college education.
答案
A
解析
推理题。在第六段第一句中我们了解到:Ann Curry认为她一直在为顾客而不是为书店工作。现在做主持人仍是如此, 是为观众,而非电台工作。从其成功帮助读者及小男孩后的满足和骄傲,可推理出工作中帮助别人时使她感到骄傲。
