英語六級閱讀強化訓練題原文

　　I went to the District commissioner's office. Fortunately the District Commissioner was out，for he was one of the old school; however， I saw a young District Officer who was a friend ofmine. He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that if ever I wanted anythingmore from the drugstore all I had to do was come to him personally and he would buy mymedicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany meback to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did， and I well rememberhim saying to the manager， “Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the UrbanAdvisory Council， and you treat him like a common servant.” The manager of the drugstoreapologized and said， “If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was， then， ofcourse I should have given him proper service.”

　　I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introducemyself every time I went into a store…any more than I should have to buy my medicine bygoing to a European friend? I want to prove that any man of any color， whatever hisposition， should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted.
