一篇英语阅读
An old and very rich friend of mine told me he had an unpleasant experience.He went to a famous jewelry shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces.After examining several,he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious (珍贵的) stone,and asked if he could pay by cheque (支票).The assistant said that was quite in order,after my friend signed his name,he was invited into the manager’s office.The manager was very polite,but he explained that someone with exactly the same name gave them a worthless cheque not long ago.My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else.When he got up to go,the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble.Sure enough,the police arrived soon afterwards.They were polite,too,but explained that a person who used the same name as his was guilty of a number of recent robberies.Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores.The note read,"I have a gun in my pocket.Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."
Fortunately,my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s.He was not only allowed to go without further delay(延误),but to take the necklace with him.

C.The manager never thought an old man would be a thief.

6. C 第四行有"that's quite in order" in order 合理,有序的,所以可以认为用支票支付是可以的. 7. B 第五行告诉我们这个老人的名字和一个小偷一样 8. 选B 这题我是用排除法,因为老人没有马上离开,店里的人不让他走(A);他也没坚持说要等警察来(C);他也没去别的店买项链D(因为被困住了), 9. A 这一选项的翻译是:虽然他碰到了一些麻烦,但是他还是不用付现金就买走了项链(不用现金是因为他签了支票)
