根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Lasting a Lifetime
Sidney Wilson's watch was old and it did not work well. It was either too fast or too slow. It spent more time in the repair shop than on his wrist (手腕). So he decided to buy himself a new watch.
He went into a jewelry shop and said to the saleswoman behind the counter.
“I want to buy a new watch, please. Show me the best watch you have.”
The saleswoman smiled happily. This was the kind of customer she liked.
“Certainly, sir,” she said, and showed Sidney a gold watch.
“This watch is made of gold and has twenty-four jewels,” she explained.
“How much is it?” Sidney asked.
“$5,000,” the saleswoman said.
“Oh,” Sidney said. “I'm sorry. You did not understand me. I want to see the best watch you have for under $100.”
The sales woman now lost interest in Sidney. She pushed some cheap watches at him. “Choose one from these,” she said rudely. “They are all under $100.”
Sidney picked up one of the watches, “Will it last me a lifetime?” he asked.
“Of course,” the saleswoman said.
“Then I'll buy it,” Sidney told her. He paid for the watch and left the shop.
Two days later the watch stopped. Sidney could not make it work again. He took it back to the shop.
“This watch is broken,” he said to the saleswoman. “You told me it would last me a lifetime.”
“When you bought it, sir,” the saleswoman said, “you didn't look very well.”
