People say no one reads anymore, but I find that’s not the case. Prisoners read. I guess they’re not given much access to computers. A felicitous injustice for me. The nicest reader letters I’ve received—also the only reader letters I’ve received—have come from prisoners. Maybe we’re all prisoners? In our lives, our habits, our relationships? That’s not nice, my saying that. Maybe it’s even evil, to choose the misery of others.
I want to mention that, when I sold the movie, my husband had just left me. I came home one day and a bunch of stuff was gone. I thought we’d been robbed. Then I found a note; "I can’t live here anymore. He had taken quite a lot with him. For example, we had a particularly nice Parmesan grater and he had taken that. But he had left behind his winter coat. Also a child. We had a child together, sort of. I was carrying it—girl or boy, I hadn’t wanted to find out—inside me.
I searched online for a replacement for that Parmesan grater, because I had really liked that Parmesan grater. It was the kind that works like a mill, not the kind you just scrape against; it had a handle that was fun to turn. There were a number of similar graters available, but with unappealing "comfort" grips. Finally, I found the same model. Was it premature to repurchase? Two days passed basically like that. Then, on Wednesday, my brother called. I gave him the update on my life.
"Wow, that’s really something," he said.
"Yeah. It is something.
Then he said, "I thought it was a work of fantasy, Trish. I mean, I guess I should have told you about it..."
"What?"
"The blog," he said. "His blog. I-Can’t-Stand-My-Wife-Dot-Blogspot-Dot-Com..."
"Are you going through one of your sleepless phases again?"
"Trish, I know it makes me sound snoopy, but Jonathan always seemed a little off to me, you know? So after he left your apartment one time, when I was alone there, I’m sorry, I opened up his laptop, and I looked through the browser history. I was curious about his porn. I thought maybe there would be some really weird porn..."
"There was weird porn?"
"None at all, actually. Which in itself was kind of weird. No porn. Just his blog. And..."
"All right. Well. I’m thinking of buying a new Parmesan grater..."
"I thought it was satire, Trish. To be honest, it’s pretty funny. Look, I knew you could never have said some of that stuff. I mean, you are kind of critical, Trish, but still. How could I have known Jonathan was serious? I thought, maybe these things can be healthy. Funny is healthy. Maybe this is a healthy way for Jonathan to vent some anger, some hurt feelings. Healthy fantasy, you know? I didn’t know what to do, Trish. I asked my shrink. He wouldn’t weigh in! I decided not to interfere. Look, don’t be mad at me, Trish, I’m just the traumatized bystander here..." [br] When the author’s husband left her,
选项
A、she was a pregnant woman.
B、she had been well-prepared.
C、he had told her in advance.
D、he took her most favorite stuff away.
答案

细节题。由题干的husband left定位至第二段。由该段最后四句可知,作者当时有孕在身,故A为答案。
