问题    There is one part of women’s magazines that every man reads. It is the section popularly known as the "agony columns", where women and increasingly men, write for advice on their emotional problems. The person who answers these letters usually has a very reassuring name which suggests a gentle middleaged lady with a lot of wisdom and experience. At one time, it used to be widely believed that the letters were in fact all made up by someone on the editorial staff, and that the "Aunt Mary" who provided the answers was a fat man with a beard, who drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, and was unfaithful to his wife into the bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the majority of advice columns are genuine, and the advisory staff are highly-qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems.
   At one time, only the answers were published, not the letters themselves. Much of the fun in reading them lay in trying to work out what on earth the problem was that led to such peculiar answers. Nowadays everything is much more explicit, and questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the agony columns have become more professional and more frank, a lot of the fun has gone out of them. This is undoubtedly a good thing, because there is something very bad about our tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of our fellow men.

选项 A、a warm-hearted middle-aged lady
B、a man of low moral character
C、a team of qualified advisers
D、a kindly middle-aged man

答案B

解析 本题询问人们曾经认为在妇女杂志中为读者们排忧解难的人是个什么样的人。根据原文(41)处可知,回信的“玛丽阿姨”是留着大胡子的胖男人,他不仅是烟鬼和酒鬼,而且不忠实于其妻,因此是个道德情操较低的人.故选B。
