   The couple’s daughter Jane Woolley said her parents were both very perky. "She says she can’t dance any longer but it feels good to have been married for 80 years," Woolley said. "She says she can still have a drink."
   Guinness World Records said the pair held records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest total age of a married couple. [br] The underlined word "perky" means______.
选项 A、bitter
B、hard
C、depressed
D、lively
答案 D
解析 推理题。根据倒数第二段这对夫妇的女儿简·伍利说，“她无法再跳舞了，但结婚80年的感觉很好。她说她现在还能喝点酒。”由此推断她的父母过得“非常洒脱开心”。bitter意为“埋怨的”；hard意为“苛刻的”；depressed意为“沮丧的”。
