第三部分 閱讀理解
閱讀下面短文，從題后所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)答案中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
All her life, my mother
wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all
times clean and tidy.
You could turn your
back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half-written letter on the
dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that
my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.
My wife, on one of her
first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table
and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the
packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the
kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had
disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto
their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows
better.
These disappearances
had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有...的傾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from
the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared
suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question
frequently asked, but rarely answered.
Now my sister has
developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning
in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not
to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the
furniture once a week.
