　　Dear Mrs. Huggett,

　　You may remember that we have discussed the noise your children make while practising their musical instruments. You agreed to make sure that they would stop practising in the evening.

　　You can imagine my surprise, then, when I realized that nothing had changed and the situation, was continuing as before. I find it difficult to stay in the house and I invent any excuse to go out in the evening to be away from the terrible noise. Although I like music, yet I have had quite enough, and to be frank, I am not prepared to put up with the situation any more. I think it is high time you realized your responsibilities as a member of the community (居民区), and I must warn you that unless you do something about the situation, I will be forced to take action of the law.

阅读下列短文，从文中所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married: Bob because he wanted Annie and she (though she was fond of Bob in her own way) because she could at least lead a life away from her family. When Mrs. Thompson suggested that they marry and live with her in Dover Street until they could get a house of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of marriage had been something which brought her a husband and an orderly, well - furnished home all at once. But she soon saw the advantages of this arrangement. She would, first of all, escape from her present life into a house which was quiet and efficiently run, not like her own; and she would be able to go on working so that she and Bob could save up all the money quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class girl; good - natured and ready to be bent to her way whenever it was necessary for her ends.

　　Things went well until mother - in - law's death, when Annie had to give up her job and was at home all day. Her father - in - law became just a silent figure in the house and although Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man's constant presence in the house a source of growing annoyance.

　　“He gets on my nerves, Bob,” she said one night when they were alone. “Just sitting there all day and me having to clean up around him. And he hardly says a word from getting up in a morning to going to bed.”

　　“Well, I suppose he has a right to do as he likes,” Bob said mildy. “It's his house, not ours. We're the lodgers.” But to Annie, now looking after the house as if it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.

1．The reason that Annie wanted to get married was ________.

[　　]

A．she found she couldn't leave Bob

B．she could at least escape the present life

C．she lived alone for a long time

D．she could live in a big house

2．Annie thought Bob was ________.

[　　]

A．kind and easy - going

B．poor but good for working - class girls

C．in good health

D．good at making money

3．Annie found her father - in - law getting on her nerves because he ________.

[　　]

A．sat when she was cleaning

B．never said what time he was getting up

C．rarely talked to her and Bob

D．caused her to give up her job
