Anita Cooper was recently elected president of a charitable organization that serves her
local hospital. One of her duties is to find and train volunteers who will work as nurses’ aides.
In many hospitals, these volunteers are called “candy stripers” because their red and white uniforms
resemble candy canes. Several weeks after taking office, Anita discovered that the candy striper
program was a mess. In order to straighten things out, she would have to spend a lot more time
at the hospital than she originally thought.
Anita has just returned home from a long day at the hospital. She noticed the light blinking
on her telephone answering machine. When she pushed the button, she heard the following
messages from her daughter, Felicia:
Felicia: Hi, mom. It’s just me. It’s five o’clock. Call me when you get in. I need to talk to
you about something. Bye.
Felicia: Mom, it’s me again. It’s now a little after seven. I guess you’re still at the hospital.
I need to talk to you tonight about maybe taking care of Tommy tomorrow if you
can manage it. I just found out today that I have to be out of town on business. The
regular sitter can’t do it, so I’m really counting on you. Talk to you soon. Bye, now.
Anita looked at her calendar and saw that she had scheduled training sessions for the whole
next day. She picked up the phone and dialed her daughter’s number. She would have to say no.
She knew that Felicia would feel she was letting her down, but she felt she had no choice. 【題組】24. What does the phrase letting her down in this passage refer to?
(A) Failing to help her (B) Informing her directly
(C) Looking down upon her (D) Giving comfort to her
