问题                        Shared Holiday
    Spending a holiday with another family sounds like a good idea. It enables your kids to play with other kids, enables you to communicate with other parents, and enables your family to rent a bigger and nicer house. It might be too expensive for your family to rent such a house on your own. However, not all sharing holidays are pleasant for everyone.
    Clare is a mother of four. She used to spend holidays with her friends. However, she found that the experience was painful although her friends are nice people. Her friends rented a nice house and invited her family to join them. The house was much more expensive than Clare was able to pay for. In addition, her children were too young to enjoy the holiday. The big problem was that Clare had to share the cooking during the holiday. Her friends left their children with their nanny (保姆) when they were cooking. Keeping up with children was tiring for Clare, because she didn’t have a nanny. What’s more, her children didn’t want to be looked after by her friends. As a result, Clare had to look after her children whenever she had to prepare the dinner. What’s worse, Clare’s friends paid too much attention to how many ice creams their children had. They even didn’t care about Clare’s kids at all.
    John is a lawyer and father of four children. He once spent a holiday with one of his best friends. During the holiday, the relationship between John and his wife became very bad. His friend said that he discovered a whole different side of John.
The examples of Clare and John are given in order to illustrate that______.

选项 A、families with too many kids tend to be unhappy
B、children can be a major source of unhappiness and trouble
C、sharing holidays are not always pleasant
D、you need less money to have a sharing holiday with your friends

答案C

解析 推断题。本文的主题即第一段所讲述的:虽然和人共度假日有诸多好处, 可是也有例外的情况。接下来就举了两个例子, 一个是Clare, 另外一个是John, 来为这个主题服务。A、B选项过于绝对化, 刚好这两个例子中的家庭都有孩子而已, 作出这两个推断显然证据不足;D选项所讲的是适合于所有共度假目的情况, 并非Clare和John这两个的特例。
