Many Americans don’t live in large, two and three story houses because
In the United States, many people once lived in large, two- and three-story homes. Today, many people would like to live in such houses but most people can’t. They don’t have enough money to buy them or even to make the first payment. So, many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own, so they build their own home. They buy a house that is situated in an area where houses are cheaper. Then they decorate it with old style furniture. Sometimes they can make an old house look more beautiful than a new one. Usually, it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many older people decide that they don’t need a big home after their children leave. So they sell their house and move into a comfortable apartment. But when people move into a house, they sometimes have problems. Home owners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if the roof leaks, one cannot ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign their homes in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord.
选项
A、they can’t afford to.
B、they feel lonely.
C、big houses are too far.
D、they prefer apartments.
答案
A
解析
短文中提到,多数人无法住在那样的房子(指前文提到的两、三层楼的大房子)里面;紧接着就解释了原因——他们没有足够多的钱去买那样的房子,甚至连首期都付不起。A为其同义表达,故正确。
