阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Paula Radcliffe,chasing(角逐)a third London marathon title(冠军),says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

  Radcliffe,who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10000 m last August,said:“Athens made me a stronger person and it made me careless about criti-cism(批评).”

  “In the past I wanted to please everyone,but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

  She didn't care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan,who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

  “Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn't spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me,I'm sure she would have contaeted(联系)me.”

  Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

  “In New York I wasn't in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”

  Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday's race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

  However,Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final”world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

  “I don't think that— although I can't put a number on it,”said Radcliffe.“That changes from person to person.”

  Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future.Following a successful three-month training period in the United States,the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

  Radcliffe clocked a time of 2∶18∶56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.

  Afterwards she set a“mixed course”mark of 2∶17∶18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2∶15∶25 in the 2003 London event.

               Motherhood is a career to respect

  A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

  “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

  “Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

  “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

  One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

  The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

  The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

  I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

  “Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

  Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

  There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

  As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

  Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

  I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

  Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

  A. Cold-hearted.    B. Open-minded.

  C. Puzzled.       D. Interested.

How many children does the writer have?

  A. 3    B. 4    C. 7    D. 13

Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

  A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

  B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

  C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

  D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

What is the point of the article?

  A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

  B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

  C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

  D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
