问题     In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
    My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
    Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very e-motional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
    You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
    The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
    I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
选项 A、She was busy yet happy with her family life.
B、She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
C、She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D、She was too confused to make a correct choice.
答案A
解析 推断题。根据第四段中第一、二句“You can imagine how fully occupied I became…Our home was a complete zoo”可知．作者在忙碌中享受着快乐。根据第五段中的“The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．here certainly were times I wanted to quit，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．”可知，作者并没有无视她对孩子的愧疚，而是带着愧疚坚持学业。C项和D项在第四和第五段中没有提及。
