What do we know about Farnon?
Rachel: Where were you born?
Farnon: America. I don’t really know any more than that.
Rachel: What’s your birthday?
Farnon: April 20th—a birthday I share with Hitler, Napoleon, Joey Lawrence, the Columbine anniversary, and Louise Jamison, who played Leela on Doctor Who.
Rachel: I see. Ok, your middle name is A. What does the "A" stand for?
Farnon: Amateur. Or Anonymous, maybe? It’s a matter of indefinite articles.
Rachel: What was your family life like?
Farnon: The concept of family is hard for me to wrap my mind around. I was adopted into a relatively fragmented environment. A single mom in the lead, her husband until he died when I was in second grade, and four younger children from Korea. They were also adopted, with a handful of behavioral problems here and there.
Rachel: That was a quite environment for you to grow up.
Farnon: It was difficult on my mom, but my brain had already shut down. I stopped paying attention to anything happening in the family. I stayed locked in my room for 16 years and never spoke to anyone. I just had my own interests I didn’t bother sharing.
Rachel: You mean that you kind of locked yourself up as if none of your family existed?
Farnon: More or less.
选项
A、He was an adopted child.
B、He was brought up by a single mother.
C、He has four half brothers and sisters.
D、His father died when he was a baby.
答案
A
解析
对话中的男人说到:“I was adopted into a relatively fragmented environment.”可见他是个收养孩子,故选A。B项:虽然男人还说了一句话: “A single mom in the lead”,但是她丈夫在男人二年级的时候才离开,所以对话中的男人不全是他的养母独立养大。C项:男人提到他的养母还收养了4个韩国小孩,但没有说到他们性别,所以C选项“He has four half brother and sisters.”是不准确的。而且half brother and sisters是指同父(母)异母(父)的兄弟、姐妹,这4个韩国小孩是收养的,所以C选项更不正确。D项:男人说到: “Herhusband until he died when I was in second grade.”养父在她二年级时离世,而不是在婴儿的时候,故D错。
