It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this? " I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare? "
"Nothing. "
"How long have you been out of this country? "
"About three months. "
"And during that time you have acquired nothing? "
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch? "
I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation, " he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex? "
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?
选项
A、He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.
B、He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.
C、He didn’t like the watch at all.
D、He was indifferent to the watch.
答案
C
解析
推理题。题干意为“作者认为他在市场上买的手表怎么样? ”从作者描述这块手表时所用的语言,如“ugly…made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜欢这块表,故选C。
