问题     I started a company years ago, and consumed $ 75,000 a month. Four months after my company was set up, I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank. Looking for guidance, I went to talk to my friend, Arthur Walworth about my new venture.
    "Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers," he said, "and they leave winners and losers. " There was a period when CD-ROM sales had bombed. Investors were fleeing from the field. I didn’t turn away from mine entirely, but instead linked it to the Internet. My plan was to offer consumers descriptions of home-design products by using a special software and let them modify the designs. Then we can enable them to get online professional and constructional help to have their houses built, decorated and furnished according to their own choice. To realize my plan I needed investors, so I continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists. One said I had a great idea. But I needed to test it.
    I was working nonstop-struggling to find the right way ahead. The pressure was terrible. To get the money from a venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children! It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up. Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money to them, but they invested in this crazy son and brother without a moment’s hesitation. With their help my company survived and has been prospering ever since.
The author’s company was engaged in______.

选项 A、furniture design and production
B、online home-design service
C、traditional home designing
D、home decoration business

答案B

解析 推理题。从文章第二段“…offer consumers descriptions of home-designproducts…”以及后面的“…have their houses built,decorated and furnished…”可知选项A、D都只是公司业务的一部分;C选项原文中没有提及;B选项涵盖了公司业务的所有内容。故答案为B。
