阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选山最佳选项。

A young man wanted to find a job. He went into the company (公司)Microsoft. The manager of the company asked him some questions and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

"You are in," he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the information you need to write down, as well as date when you may start."

The man replied, "But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail."

"I'm sorry," said the manager. "If you don't have an e-mail, you are not living in the world. So you cannot have the job."

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he doubled his money. He continued to do it a few times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars. 

The man realized that he could live in this way. Then he started to go every day earlier, and return late. So his money doubled and doubled every day. In a short time, he bought a cart(手推车),then a truck, and then he had his own team. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers(销售商)in the US.

One day the man was having a talk with a businessman.

When the conversation finished, the businessman asked him his e-mail. The man replied, "I don't have an e-mail. "

The businessman answered surprisedly, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet have done such a successful job. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?" The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"
