Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname (绰号)“Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name. As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman(董事长)of the oil company heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to his office.
“Some people give you a nickname. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I like this nickname very much, because it is our company’s advertisement. When someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’, I think it’s free advertisement for our company. It’s not necessary for me to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”
“What a wonderful man!” Rockfeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder, you must be successful in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller. Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel upset when we have no way to do the world—shaking things.” We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”

解析

试题分析：本人介绍了美国油业公司的普通工人Albert，同事们为他起了一个绰号叫“四美元一桶”，大家都叫他的绰号，以至于忘了真名，他不生气，他认为这是为公司做免费广告。后来他成了董事长，他认为：一个人如果没有办法做成大事，但一定要做好手头的小事，因为未来的成功有可能从一件小事开始。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America.描述，可知Albert起初在美国的这家油业公司里只是一名普通工人，故选A。
