问题    Mr. Stevenson was the owner of a general appliance store. He had seen many newly-weds coming into his store to shop for their first refrigerator, washer and dryer and air-conditioner. Pen and pencil in hand, they would ask him a lot of questions about price, features and after-sale services, but they would usually walk away at the end of their inquiry.
   The other day a young couple came into his store. They asked him all the usual questions and he answered all them patiently. But when he suggested an order at the end, they replied firmly, "We’ll have to look around places first."
   Although feeling a bit disappointed, Mr. Stevenson did not show it. Instead, he smiled, moved closer and said, "I know you will go to Discount Dan to look at the price tags. That’s perfectly understandable. I do the same. In fact, they sell the same stuff as we do. But if you buy things there, there is something you will not get. And that is me. I come with everything I sell. I’ve been in the business for thirty years and in a few years’ time I’m going to give my store to my daughter and son-in-law. I hope they will carry on the family business. I stand behind everything I sell and I will make sure that you will never regret buying things from me."
   After this short speech Mr. Stevenson offered the young couple some ice cream to thank them for their interest.
   Impressed by his honesty and sincerity, the young couple decided to place an order.
Why did many newly-weds usually walk away at the end of their inquiry?
选项 A、They knew they could buy better-quality appliances elsewhere.
B、They were bored with the owner’s long speech.
C、They wanted to compare prices at other stores.
D、They thought the store could not meet their needs.
答案C
解析 从文章的第一、第二、第三段可以得知，大多数人在看完货物之后走开的原因是为了去别的商店看价钱，然后再作比较。所以正确答案是C。
