阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You're lucky, Ron,”he said.“It is almost impossible for every boy to have a job these days.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.

For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time, he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work with little success.

One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a truck going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a coffee house managed by an old man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather astonished Ron. At quiet time Ron had to check the old man's arithmetic (算术) in the records of the business.

As the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straight-forward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books(账簿).
