    I hate traveling. It’s not that I’m unwilling. It’s just that I’ve got a problem. Three problems actually, and they’re celled Charlie, Ella and Jack. Ranging in age from eleven down to three, they’re irresistible when they’re asleep. But when they’re awake they’re relentless. Individually they’re hard-working: in twos they’ve a handful: all together, they’re a nightmare. More often than not, they’re disobedient and seem to have endless competitions to see who can behave in the most devilish way. On top of that, they all want my undivided attention at the same time.
    Under these stressful circumstances, you may think that it would be foolish of me to even consider traveling alone with my children. Well, I know now that it wasn’t just foolish, but downright irresponsible.
    I wanted to visit my parents. My husband couldn’t come, so I set off on the five-hour train journey with a bagful of toys, a pocketful of sweets and a headful of songs, stories and games.
    But regardless of my careful preparations, the journey was hellish: it was one of the worst experiences of my life. The final straw was when I arrived, exhausted and tearless, at my parents’ house. Instead of being sympathetic, they took great delight in telling me how awful I had been as a child. Thank, Mum and Dad. That was really helpful!

选项 A、a bagful of toys
B、a pocketful of sweets
C、a headful of games
D、A handful of ipads

答案D

解析 录音接近尾声时,Sara提到自己带着三个孩子坐火车去看自己的父母,“with a bag-ful of toys,a pocketful of sweets and a heedful of songs,stories and games”,可见她唯独没有带D项中提到的苹果平板电脑。
