单选题
One morning a young woman, who has recently lost her
first post, was examining the advertisements in the paper in search of other
work. Suddenly she called out to her mother, who was in the kitchen.
"Listen to this, Mother!" she cried. "I've found an easy way of making
money." "What is it?" her mother asked, coming into the
room. "Listen," said the girl, and read the advertisement
aloud: " 'Do you want to make money? Send me a postal order for five pence,
together with a stamped, addressed envelope. You will receive a reply showing
you how to make hundreds of pounds without leaving your house.' Then there's a
name and address." "Nonsense!" said her mother. "You'll only
lose five pence and the cost of a postal order and two stamps. If he knows how
to do that, why doesn't he do it himself? You won't get an answer."
"Well, five pence isn't much," she said. "I can try." She went to
the post-office, bought a postal order, and sent it off. Two or
three days. later she received an envelope with a small piece of paper in it. On
the paper were four words: "Do as I do."
