问题    There was one thing I found rather strange on my first day at Monk’s House. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen and when Mrs. Grane was bathing before breakfast. I could, through the thin floor, hear her whispering to herself, asking questions and giving herself the answers. When Mr. Crane saw that I looked so surprised he told me that Mrs. Crane always said the sentences out loud that she had written at night. She wanted to know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out.
   Every morning, when we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs. Crane’s room I noticed that she had always been working during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as if she had got very little sleep.
   Mrs. Crane’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden; I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed. Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out to a field. I remember that a cow came one night and put its head in through the window. It amused Mrs. Crane very much, but in case it happened again Mr. Crane bought the field adding part of it to the garden. Because the writing room was small, he had a larger one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.
   She was tall and thin and very graceful. She had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth I think perhaps it was this that made her face seem particularly beautiful. Mrs. Crane wore clothes that suited her well. She was not capable of sewing, although sometimes she liked to try. There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs. Crane carried it out. She returned two or three times a morning to work at it. At last she made it into the shape of a cottage loaf and baked it at just the right temperature.  
When she arrived at Monk’s House, the writer _________.
选项 A、founded everything strange
B、thought the planning of the house was unusual
C、had no one to talk to
D、was surprised at Mrs. Crane’s way of checking her work
答案D
解析 文章第一段提到格林夫人洗澡时爱自言自语，这使作者感到奇怪，而这正是她checking her work的一种方法。
