If you have ever gone through a toll booth(收费所), you know that your relationship to the person in the booth is not the most intimate you'll ever have. It is one of life's frequent affairs: You hand over some money; you might get change; you drive off.
  Late one morning in 1984, headed for lunch in San Francisco, I drove toward a booth. I heard loud music. It sounded like a party. I looked around. No other cars with their windows open. No sound trucks. I looked at the toll booth. Inside it, the man was dancing.
  What are you doing? I asked.
  I'm having a party, he said.
  What about the rest of the people? I looked at the other toll booths.
  He said, What do those look like to you? He pointed down the row of toll booths.
  They look like……toll booths. What do they look like to you?
  He said, Vertical coffins. At 8:30 every morning, live people get in. Then they die for eight hours. At 4:30, like Lazarus from the dead, they reemerge and go home. For eight hours, brain is on hold, dead on the job. Going through the motions.
  I was amazed. This guy had developed a philosophy, a mythology about his job. Sixteen people dead on the job, and the seventeenth, in precisely the same situation, figures out a way to live. I could not help asking the next question: Why is it different for you? You're having a good time.
He looked at me. I knew you were going to ask that. I don't understand why anybody would think my job is boring. I have a corner office, glass on all sides. I can see the Golden Gate, San Francisco, and the Berkeley hills. Half the Western world vacations here……and I just stroll in every day and practice dancing.

最佳答案
(答案→)C 解析:本文叙述了作者经过收费战时,看见特别引人瞩目的一个收费站的工作人员,他在工作时还在不断地跳舞,他把他们的工作室收费亭看成直立的棺材,他的同事每早八点半,活的人进去。然后他们死亡八个小时。下午四点半,就像死人中的拉撒路,他们复活回到家中。整整八个小时,头脑思维中断,他们只是呆板地工作,重复着相同的动作。而这位工作人员几乎处于同样的情况,却找到另外一种生活方式。【小题1】细节理解题。根据you know that your relationship to the person in the booth is not the most intimate you'll ever have.你就会知道你与亭子里的这个人关系不是最亲密的,这是生命中经常出现的非偶遇者。故选C。【小题2】细节理解题。根据Late one morning in 1984, headed for lunch in San Francisco我驱车往旧金山吃午饭,故选B。【小题3】细节理解题。根据Then they die for eight hours. from the dead, they reemerge and go home. 然后他们死亡八个小时。下午四点半,就像死人中的拉撒路,他们复活回到家中。故选B。【小题4】细节理解题。根据I don't understand why anybody would think my job is boring.
