Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter

Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter was on his desk till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
Dear sir,
I got married forty years ago Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money.
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I didn’t pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience(让我良心不安)all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100, and I think that is about ten times at today’s price.
Now, I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer

(答案→)B 解析： 【主旨大意】一个人对四十年前所做的一件错事心怀内疚，多年以来的负罪感和妻子的去世终于使他下定决心偿还这一笔债务。文章读来颇有教育意义。【小题1】 细节对应题。句子With the note was a short letter. 给出了答案。【小题1】 综合判断题。划线单词的下文got no job “没有找到工作”和out of work “失业”，都在提示上文的划线单词意义为“失业”。正是因为失业的窘境才导致写信者偷了店里的戒指。【小题1】细节对应题。信件的末尾句At that time the ring cost $100提示答案。【小题1】综合理解题。写信的人是通过偿还自己四十年前所拿戒指的钱来求得心理解脱。【小题1】细节对应题。通过短文开始When he opened it, 可知是老板亲自打开了信件。
