问题     While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. "I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other."
    Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. "I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals."
    Finally, she chose acting. "Following in my father’s footsteps," she says, "is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, die way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone."
    "And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person."
Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because______.

选项 A、tradition was always appealing to her
B、she paid particular attention to funerals
C、she was never rooted when she was young
D、she thought people could reach out to each other after their death

答案C

解析 本题为综合理解题。根据第二段的描述可知,安吉丽娜·朱莉小时候总是搬家,因此总是没有扎根的感觉,因此她十分渴望能有一个稳定的安身之地,而坟墓是一个人的最后归宿。特别是从第二段最后一句“And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition,that are roots.and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”可以看出,她想成为葬礼组织者在很大程度上与居无定所有关系,因此选项C为正确答案。
