第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
A poor boy became a rich and famous singer. He got married and had two sons and two daughters. One day he said to his wife, "Our children mustn't have a hard life as we had. We must help them more than our parents helped us." The wife agreed.
So the parents sent their children to fine schools. They enjoyed expensive sports (玩物). They were given everything in life except this: they were not taught how to work. Later the parents bought businesses (商行) for their children. The sons, at 21, became the owners of banks. The girls were given shops. But soon all these businesses failed, because the young owners knew nothing of business or of work.
The man said to his wife, "Where did we do wrong?"
The singer was ______ .
A.not rich
B.poor
C.rich and famous
听力原文: I was married for almost six years. Jody and I were classmates at high school and were attracted to each other from the time we first met at the age of 12 or 13. We always hung out together and started dating seriously when we were only 15.
Everyone predicted that we'd break up one day. We were determined to prove them wrong and were engaged when we were 19. The evening I proposed was like something from a romantic novel. I chose my moment and asked the magic question: "Jody, darling, will you marry me?" Her answer was a few tears of happiness.
A year later, we had a typical, big wedding ceremony and Jody really did look the perfect bride in her white gown. We had a great time at Lake Taho for our honeymoon and came back and settled down to married life. Jessica, our daughter, was born, according to plan, two years after we were married and that was when our problems began.
We were both delighted to be parents, but somehow we just grew further and further apart from each other. Eventually, after four years, we separated and then, divorced. I still see Jessica regularly. I'm really sad about our divorce, but I guess everyone was right: we were too young when we started going out together and, the truth is, we were never really compatible.

Stratfordis a very interesting town, right in the centre of. The countryside aroundis pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.
The first place we visited was the house in the centre ofwhere Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.
After we had visited Shakespeare's birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.
We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare's time- Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare's plays on the door—the "Hamlet" room, the "Romeo and Juliet" room, and so on.
After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare's day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.
When we got back to our hotel in the evening, we were very tired, but we had enjoyed a wonderful day.
