Question

One day my chair had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty getting it fixed (修理) as there were many furniture shops nearby. So I left home with the chair. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.

The second shop was just the same, and the third and the fourth.

I entered another shop with a plan in my mind. I said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy the chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty dollars,” I said. “OK,” he said. “It’s got a broken leg,” I told him. “Yes, I noticed that. It’s nothing.”

Everything was going according to the plan. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, I’ll sell it after fixing it.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, but I’ve changed my mind.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped (目的达到).“I know what you want. You want me to fix the chair,” he said. “We don’t do repairs (修理), not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll fix this for you.”

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲述了作者的一张椅子断了条腿，本以为拿去附近的家具店去修理是件很容易的事情，但没想到接连几家店都不愿修理。最后他走进一家店说卖掉这把椅子，店主同意买下，并告诉他在修理好后再把它卖出去，作者说它要把它买下来。店主明白了作者其实是想让他把椅子给修好，最后终于同意了作者的要求。

1.描述I didn’t think there would be any difficulty getting it fixed (修理) as there were many furniture shops nearby.我认为修理它并不困难，因为旁边有很多家具店，故选A,他刚开始认为修理椅子是容易的事。
