I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you.
"Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’ s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
"What s the matter. I asked her.
"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don’t?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well... that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago.., our doctor.., did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You’ re not dying; I’ m just starting to live."
The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment." What was the one thing that went wrong?
选项
A、He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
B、She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C、He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.
D、He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
答案
D
解析
原文中提到“On the last night at our cottage”,妻子问他:“Tom,you’ve been so good to me...am I dying?”联系到上次在医院的体检,妻子不由得怀疑是不是自己快要死了丈夫才突然变得如此体贴,这就是答案D所指出的。答案A他称赞妻子的毛衣,让妻子很困惑,这与原文不符,实际上妻子困惑之余更多的是欣喜;答案B妻子坚持去他不喜欢去的博物馆不成为问题,因为他愿意陪妻子去;答案C他没告诉妻子她得了重病与原文不符,因为他妻子并未得重病。
