问题     My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important. They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage, working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?
    They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.
    One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nighdy family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders. I’ d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.
    My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual each night and nourished their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new high-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’ t want that of life either.
Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s family? ______

选项 A、There were six people in the family
B、They decided to buy a bigger house
C、They lived an easy and happy life
D、They had a second-hand car

答案C

解析 根据题干第一句话可知这家有8个人,因此A项错误;由“They didn’t busy themselvesbuying a bigger house”可知B项错误;由题干信息无法得知他们是否有二手车,因此D项错误。C项符合题意。
