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."
From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage______.
选项
A、with his family
B、with Evelyn
C、alone
D、with his children
答案
C
解析
本文开头描述Tom开车去度假小屋,第五段讲到“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 done here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.’”他开车到了以后很累,想坐下读读书,而妻子建议一起去海滩散步。这时他想:妻子一周以来都一个人在这儿陪着孩子,现在只是想单独和丈夫呆会儿。由此可见,他的妻子孩子早在他之前已经先到了海边,他是后开车过来的。
