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 felt that she was working for those who she served.
选项 A、Since she worked in the bookstore after school
B、When she could help people make sense of the world
C、If she sensed she was working for the customers
D、Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by them
答案D
解析 本题为综合理解题，要求考生了解主人公在什么情况下感到“在为她所能提供服务的人们而工作。”根据最后一段“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．”可以看出主人公认为她无论在哪里工作都认为是为她所能提供服务的人们工作，而不是为了“书店”或“薪水”。选项A意为“因为放学后在书店工作”；选项B意为“当她能够帮助人们了解这个世界”；选项C意为“假如她感到是在为顾客服务”。这三个都不能推断出最后一段文字所要表达的意思。故选项D是正确答案。
