My husband Christopher was once a financial planner. Even though he couldn’t balance our budget, his clients trusted him implicitly and he made them feel secure. In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then, except for the occasional blip on the radar screen of our relationship—nothing that couldn’t be solved with a few soft words or a trip to the bedroom. Usually little tiffs about money. My yoga studio was just starting to make a profit, and I had recently decorated it in a lovely minimalist way, in neutral tones with simple prints and accents like straw-coloured silk cushions and clay flowerpots. At last, I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed
When we first met, I fell hard for Christopher right away, although I wouldn’t call it love. I’d never been with a man who was prettier than I was, but after a while I got used to it, and it didn’t bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn’t love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.
Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then, without any warning, one overcast winter afternoon in year five, he just upped and left his desk in the gray cubicle at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.
He has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for colour, texture, and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax, do a project or two, and get the idea out of his system. I didn’t believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients,(thanks to my sister who has a lot of rich friends), he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and scouting vintage furniture shops, turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wasn’t well and wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all. Then he went to bed
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT of the couple’s life?
选项
A、The author was engaged in practicing yoga.
B、Christopher was a successful financial planner.
C、Their relations didn’t suffer for small quarrels.
D、They had certain financial problems to solve.
答案
A
解析
细节题。由选项中的Christopher和yoga等定位至首段。该段倒数第二句指出“My yoga studio was juststarting to make a profit,and I had recently decorated it...”,接着末句又做出说明“At last,I was in control ofmy working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.”,由此可知,作者在经营自己的瑜伽馆;而并非是自己忙于练瑜伽,故[A]为答案。首句提到Christopher是一名理财规划师,结合首段第三句可以判断[B]符合文意;第四句中的the occasional blip是比喻用法,指下一句提到的“小争吵”,可见他们的争吵无碍两人之间的关系,故[C]符合文意;第二句“Even though he couldn’t balance our budget…”和第五句“Usually little tiffs about money.”表明[D]符合文意。
