参考答案

正确答案：A
解析：本题为细节题。需要确定作者并不想按照经理的吩咐去做的原因。根据文章第二段内容，经理给他布置的任务是先购物，然后将物品送到顾客家中。文章第三段说出了他不想 去的原因： “I protested，not wanting to lay out money from my own cash supply,because I was afraid I might not be able to collect the money．”由此可知A为正确答案。选项B．he didn't want to go to such a neighbourhood和选项C．he didn’t know the man he was working for都不是他不想去的原因；选项D．he was waiting for someone from the airport则与第二段首句的“hoping to get an airport run”所表达的意义相反。
