第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy

children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market

turned and my hus band’s job at a construction company was

gone. The company was closing down for good.

We both started looking for jobs right away, but there

weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting

increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order

to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the

closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I

hadn't felt in years. That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself

for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he

seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have

four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a

rich man.”

“But what if we lose the house? They'll hate me-you'll hate

me,” he replied.

I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face

to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will

be happy--as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the

struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had

on the day we said “I do”.

I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close

and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way

that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us

as a couple and a family.

We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us

well-off because we have something that money can't buy and

no one can take away from us.

21. Why was it hard or the author to watch her husband

blame himself?

A. She thought she should be blamed

B. She thought he had tried his best

C. She thought he would get a job someday
