Ann Curry got her first job__________.
A、from her friend in a bookstore
B、a couple of years before college
C、at the NBC News"Today"show
D、when she was studying at university
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:根据原文第一段中的描述,“When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she′d like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.” 可以得知,Ann Curry在她15岁的时候在家乡的书店找到了她的第一份工作。而15岁通常是在上大学之前的几年,因此选项B“在上大学前的一两年”是正确的答案。 选项A“从书店的一个朋友那里”在原文中并没有提及,所以不正确。 选项C“在NBC新闻的《今日》节目中”是描述Ann Curry后来成为著名新闻主持人的情况,而不是她得到第一份工作的情形,因此也不正确。 选项D“当她在大学学习的时候”与原文描述不符,原文明确指出她是在15岁,也就是上大学之前得到的工作,所以也不是正确答案。 因此,根据原文信息和逻辑推理,正确答案是B。
