As far back as he could remember,Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star.The young man's hopes for success were broken again and again,however.Hollywood just did not seem interested.When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success.Therefore,he kept on trying.Someday,he told himself,his big opportunity would come.
Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood's big restaurants.His pay was basic,but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money,he managed to make a living.
One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car.Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.
Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it.Then he stopped,jumped out,and ran over to the director."Excuse me,sir,but I think it's only fair to tell you that it's now or never if you want me in your next picture.A lot of big companies are after me."
Instead of pushing away the boy,the director got interested in Larry's words and stopped."Yes?
Which companies?"he asked.
"Well,"replied the boy,"there's the telephone company,the gas company,and the electric company,to tell you only a few."
The director laughed,then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man."Come and see me tomorrow."
Larry got a small part in the director's next film.He was on his way!

A、He wanted to laugh at Larr
B、He recognized Larry at first sigh
C、He was kind and gave Larry a tr
D、He thought Larry would become a sta
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:从故事中可以推断出电影导演的性格和态度。首先,我们逐项分析选项:
A. He wanted to laugh at Larry(他想嘲笑拉里)
- 故事中的导演确实笑了,但这并不是因为他想嘲笑拉里,而是因为他的幽默感和对拉里天真话语的反应。
B. He recognized Larry at first sight(他第一眼就认出了拉里)
- 故事中并没有明确说明导演在第一次见面时就认出了拉里,所以这不是一个合理的推断。
C. He was kind and gave Larry a try(他很善良,给了拉里一个尝试的机会)
- 尽管拉里的话很天真甚至有些滑稽,但导演并没有生气或拒绝他,而是给了他一张名片并让他第二天来见他。这显示了导演的善良和愿意给拉里一个机会的态度,因此这是一个合理的推断。
D. He thought Larry would become a star(他认为拉里会成为明星)
- 故事中没有明确说明导演认为拉里会成为明星,他只是给拉里一个尝试的机会,因此这不是一个可以直接推断出来的结论。
综上所述,最合理的推断是导演很善良,给了拉里一个尝试的机会,因此正确答案是C。
