Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．C;
解析：

(1)	“…he was too young to celebrate his success…with champagne or any other alcoholic drink”一句表明Mr．Sessions没有喝酒庆祝是因为还不到法定喝酒的年龄。
(2)	文章说Mr．Sessions是一个“write-in”候选人，是因为他没有达到登记的年龄，选民们选他时必须在选票上用笔写上他的名字。
(3)	Mr．Sessions是带着把该城的全职消防队员从三个增加到四个的承诺去竞选市长的，选民们自然是因为这一点才选他的。作为选民，他们关心的是竞选者能给他们什么看得见的实际利益，而不会出于对竞选人的同情或其他原因而选他。
