问题     I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.
    I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed (煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel rnaid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.
    One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.
    Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.
    I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you." I felt an overwhelming (巨大的) sense of reward.
    At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.
The author accepted the job because______.
选项 A、she wanted to make some money to go to college
B、she couldn’t find anything better to do
C、selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs
D、helping people made her feel proud
答案A
解析 本题为细节题，要求找到“主人公接受这份工作”的原因。根据第一段最后一句“I needed to start saving for college，so I said yes．”可以找出“攒钱上大学”这一原因。因此选项A为正确答案。选项B在文中没有提及。选项C所谈内容是主人公对自己所从事过的工作的一个评价，而不是接受这份工作的原因。选项D则是主人公帮助他人后的感受。
