There was on shop in the town of Mufulira,which was notorious for its color bar. It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but, when their turn came to be served, were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside to see what would happen when I went in.
I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard language that is only used by an employed when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The manager became exasperated and said to me in English,“If you stand there till Christmas I will never serve you.”
I went to the District commissioner's office. Fortunately the District Commissioner was out,for he was one of the old school;however,I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine. He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that if ever I wanted anything more from the drugstore all I had to do was come to him personally and he would buy my medicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany me back to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did, and I well remember him saying to the manager,“Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council, and you treat him like a common servant.” The manager of the drugstore apologized and said,“If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was, then, of course I should have given him proper service.”
I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a store…any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going to a European friend? I want to prove that any man of any color,whatever his position,should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted.

56: 從文章內(nèi)容店主對作者排在了白人顧客的態(tài)度Para2:(As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand, he shouted at me…)可以去掉AC兩個(gè)選項(xiàng),再由Para3 (…and you treat him like a common servant)可以去除B選項(xiàng)。
57:由Para 2(he shouted at me in a bastard language which is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants.)可以判斷出店主對作者是不尊重的態(tài)度,是對待黑人顧客的時(shí)候才用的語言方式。
58: 由Para 3(Luckily, he was out…和后面他找到的官員(他朋友)幫助他)可以推斷出作者不希望這個(gè)old-school district commissioner來解決問題,說明這個(gè)人和店主是相同觀點(diǎn)的人,所以可以推斷這個(gè)人是抱有種族歧視觀點(diǎn)的人。
Old-school是英語慣用用法,指的是守舊派a class of people favoring traditional ideas.
e.g. I am not like Michael Jordan who was actually an old-school athlete.
59: 需要通讀全文,作者并非只針對于自身的不公待遇Para1 (While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often…)Para4(I had explained once again that he has missed my point…. I want to prove that any man of any color, whatever his position, should have the right…)
