Florence Sephton is 77 and lives in Deganwy, North Wales. She is reading for an arts de-gree, "I’m more of a creature to polish my mind than polish my furniture. The house takes second place while I put the studying first. "
"I was very happy at school and had wonderful teaching. I passed the university entrance examination and was ready to go to university but with World War I went into banking. I was paid 1 pound a week. Manchester University kept my place open for three years but I was enjoying the money and the freedom so I turned it down. " Mrs. Sephton is now in the second year of her Open University course and is finding it hard work. She underestimates her ability. "I’m feeling tired more frequently. I can’t do more than an hour’s work at a time. The memory’s shocking. I’m supposed to be revising and I look up notes I did earlier this year and think, ’ Have you read this before?’ So I’m doing it very slowly—one credit a year, so it’ll take six years. "
"At the moment the greatest reward is simply the increase in knowledge—and the discipline. I had an essay failed this week. The professor said I hadn’t answered the question. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I know I haven’t got the facility for essay construction. I just let myself go and get excited. I feel more emotionally than I do mentally. I’m very ordinary really. "
Claiming to be ordinary and lazy, Mrs. Sephton is still working hard daily at her assignments. Mrs. Sephton sees her studies as keeping her fit and independent. "Because of my life I’ve been self-sufficient. It’s not a very nice characteristic. It means I don’t care enough about people. I can’t say I find comfort in what I’ll be learning, so I’ll be interested to see if there’s a life ahead. " [br] How is she getting on with her studies?
选项
A、Age makes it more difficult for her to cope with her studies.
B、She devotes only one hour a day to her studies.
C、Her memory is as good as it ever was.
D、She has to read everything twice.
答案
A
解析
本题是一道总结归纳类问题。问老人的学习进展如何。根据文章第二段内容,目前,塞福顿夫人在学习开放大学二年级的课程,并且学得很吃力。她对她的能力估计不足。“我常常感到疲劳,每次学习不能超过一小时。我的记忆令我气愤。我必须经常复习,当我拿起今年早些时候所做的笔记时便想,‘这些你以前看过吗?’所以,我学得很慢,每年结业一门课,这就需要修6年。”因此,本题的正确答案应是A“年龄使得她应付学习比较困难”。
