At first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadn’t checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends — I saved those to read later when I had more time.
One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didn’t recognize. The second was the subject line: "pleas papers". Clearly, the e-mail was from someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language. The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written As a scientist, I’m used to getting these kinds of requests; it’s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land.
A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox It read, in part: "Hi dear Dr. I’m very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I’d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family ... thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I’m ready to help you in Mosul University/Iraq if you need that."
Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I’d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt(酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal(消化系统) illness. He signed off: "Warmest regards to you and lovely family. "
Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me that was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed(流露出的) in his message made me want to both smile and cry.
What does the author like to do as a scientist with other researchers?
选项
A、Reprint research papers.
B、Exchange research findings.
C、Chat with them on the Internet.
D、Wish each other the best of luck.
答案
B
解析
分析推理题。短文第二段第六句指出:As a scientist... it’s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like(作为科学家,我经常接到这一类的请求,这是我特别喜欢的研究人员之间相互交换的一部分),即作者喜欢跟别的研究人员交换研究成果(findings),因此本题答案无疑是[B]。至于其他三项,都属于抓住原文中的个别词句进行的发挥,都与原文意思不符。
