My husband Christopher was once a financial planner. Even though he couldn’t balance our budget, his clients trusted him implicitly and he made them feel secure. In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then, except for the occasional blip on the radar screen of our relationship—nothing that couldn’t be solved with a few soft words or a trip to the bedroom. Usually little tiffs about money. My yoga studio was just starting to make a profit, and I had recently decorated it in a lovely minimalist way, in neutral tones with simple prints and accents like straw-coloured silk cushions and clay flowerpots. At last, I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed
When we first met, I fell hard for Christopher right away, although I wouldn’t call it love. I’d never been with a man who was prettier than I was, but after a while I got used to it, and it didn’t bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn’t love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.
Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then, without any warning, one overcast winter afternoon in year five, he just upped and left his desk in the gray cubicle at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.
He has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for colour, texture, and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax, do a project or two, and get the idea out of his system. I didn’t believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients,(thanks to my sister who has a lot of rich friends), he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and scouting vintage furniture shops, turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wasn’t well and wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all. Then he went to bed [br] It can be inferred from the passage that
选项
A、the author fell in love with Christopher at the first sight.
B、the author was disappointed in love when meeting Christopher.
C、Christopher was much more handsome than her former boyfriends.
D、Christopher asked her to marry him soon after they met each other.
答案
B
解析
推断题。按照试题顺序和Christopher定位至第二段。该段第三句指出,当时作者处于失恋状态,故[B]符合文意。第二段首句表明作者不承认一见钟情,[A]与文意不符;第二段第二句指出“I’d never been with aman who was prettier than I was…”,由此虽然可以判断,她以前的男友都没有Christopher帅,但并没有提程度如何,[C]中的much more handsome与原文不符;第二段末句指出“…when he asked me to marry him Ijumped at the chance…”,文章没有提到求婚的时间,[D]与原文不符。
