问题 I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers. I’ve been married for years, but until six months ago, I could be a typical absent-minded husband. Often was I just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, "did you even hear what I just said?" I would defensively say, "Of course I did!"
In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.
Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because I wouldn’t answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn’t. Luckily, I’d recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.
When I go home, I noticed a "side effect": as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn’t just hearing her; I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn’t want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I’ d just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I’ d previously dismissed as " things I just don ’ t get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our house, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I’d have spent those walks on my phone.
After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I’ m talking more. I’ m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.
What does the wife mean by asking "Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1?
选项 A、You should listen to me.
B、You didn’t want to talk with me.
C、You should tell me what I said just now.
D、You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.
答案A
解析 第一段。作者说自己是典型的心不在焉丈夫，对妻子的话总是以点头作为答复。可见他并不是很认真地在听妻子说了什么。所以，此句妻子是在问他是不是真的听到她说什么了。言外之意是说他应该倾听她说的话。选项A正确。
