问题     We have rather a small house, with only one spare bedroom. You can imagine our alarm, then, when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming to stay with her family for the weekend. Her family, l should explain, consists of four boys, all under the age of 12.
    I sent off a telegram at once, protesting that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. "I forgot to explain," she said in her sweetest voice, "the boys will bring a couple of tents."
    Even so, my wife was far from reassured. It was true we had a large garden, but there was still the problem of feeding four growing boys.
    "And what if it rains?" she demanded.
    But Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station to meet Aunt Clara. I managed to squeeze three of the boys, together with the luggage, into the back of the car. The youngest sat in front, with Aunt Clara and me.
    "I didn’t see the tents among your luggage," I remarked over my shoulder to David, the eldest boy.
    "The tents!" exclaimed Aunt Clara, "Heavens! we left them in the luggage van."
When learning the boys would sleep outside, the man’s wife ______.

选项 A、was looking forward to the visit.
B、started cooking.
C、moved into the garden.
D、was still worried.

答案D

解析 文章第三、四段包含此问题的答案。Aunt Clara提出孩子们可住帐篷后,作者的妻子又开始担心这么多孩子的吃饭问题,而且提出下雨的话孩子们还是无处可住,因此选D。
