问题  
W: I’m divorcing my husband.
M: How long have you been married?
W: Thirteen years.
M: Do you have children?
W: Yes, and I have to protect them from any more harm from my husband’s irresponsibility. (19)
M: So, what are your grounds for divorce?
W: Well, first of all, he keeps changing jobs. (20) We’ve had to move four times in thirteen years.
M: And you believe that will be good grounds for divorce?
W: I do have a right to stability for my children and myself, don’t I?
M: Aren’t they his children, too?
W: But my husband is not fulfilling his duties.
M: Is he paying the bills?
W: Well, yes, but we just live around the poverty line. (20) Our kids are being teased by other kids at school because we can’t dress them in good clothes! We have to live in a small apartment and drive an old car.
M: Does the car run?
W: Yes, but it looks old!
M: Do you yell at him and call him names?
W: Well, he yells at me! (20)
M: So, these are the reasons to not honor your husband. Are you going to give him joint custody in this divorce?
W: No, just visitation rights. (21)
M: Why?
W: Because the law permits me to.
M: And, what about the financial demands of this divorce?
W: I’m demanding half of all we have, which isn’t much, and large support payments.
19. What does the woman think of her husband?
20. Which of the following is NOT a reason for her to divorce her husband?
21. What will the husband probably get if his wife wins the case of divorce according to the conversation?

选项 A、He keeps changing his jobs.
B、He can’t earn enough money to support the family.
C、He has got a bad temper.
D、He has fallen in love with someone else.

答案 D

解析 细节题。浏览选项可知各选项均是关于“他”的负面信息,由此可推断问题是关于“他”的缺点。女士提到he keeps changing jobs(经常更换工作),we just live around the poverty line(我们就生活在贫困线边缘),he yells at me(他对我吼叫),因此可排除选项A、B、C,故答案选D。
