问题     When I told my family that I was thinking of taking a cooking job, the roars of laughter were rather discouraging. No one believed that I could cook at all as I had never had a chance to practice at home. Our cook had ruled in die kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the saucepans, stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property.
    I once crept down there when I thought she was asleep in her room to try out an omelette. Noiselessly I removed a frying pan from its hook and the eggs from their cupboard. It was the pop of the gas that woke her, I think, for I was just breaking the first egg when a pair of slippered feet moved round the door and a shriek of horror caused me to break the egg on the floor. This disaster, together with the fact that I was using her very special beloved and cared-for frying pan, upset her so much that she locked herself in the storeroom with all the food and we had to make our Sunday dinner of bananas.
    If the family weren’t going to be helpful, I would look for a job all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one. I had seen an agency in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say "where are you going?" I rushed out of the house in search of it.
    I sat on the edge of a chair and could see my nose shining out of the corner of my eye. I thought perhaps it was a good thing; it might look more earnest. The woman at the desk examined me through her glasses. Having asked me a few questions, she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. "But," she said, "I’ve got someone who needs a cook badly." She wrote down a number, and my spirits went up as I took the slip of paper she held out to me, saying, "Ring up this lady. She wants a cook. You would have to start tomorrow by cooking dinner for ten people. Could you manage that?" "Oh, yes," said I never having cooked for more than four in my life.
According to the passage, the main reasons for the author’s lack of practice in cooking was that________.
选项 A、the roars of laughter from her family were rather discouraging
B、she was not skilled at cooking
C、the cook in her family occupied everything in the kitchen
D、the cook in her family would never allow her to do any cooking
答案C
解析 细节题。根据第一段中的“Our cook had ruled in the kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the saucepans，stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property”可知，C项“家里的厨师占据了厨房的一切”符合题意。故本题选C。
