Question

【題目】Larry and Jo Ann were an ordinary couple. Like any other couple, they made efforts to make ends meet (收支相抵) and do the right thing for their children. They often argued about what was wrong with their marriage and who was to blame (責(zé)備). They wanted to make changes.

“You know, Jo Ann, I’ve got a magic chest (衣柜) of drawers. Every time I open them, they’re full of clean clothes,” Larry said. “I want to thank you for filling them all these years.”

Jo Ann stared at her husband and felt strange. This wasn’t the first time Larry had done something strange recently, so Jo Ann forgot it quickly. But it happened again a few days later.

“Jo Ann, that was a great dinner,” Larry said one evening. “I appreciate all you have done in the past 15 years. You have cooked lots of delicious food for me and the kids.”

Jo Ann was growing worried. “What’s wrong with my husband?” she wondered.

Day in and day out, Larry continued his praise.

Over the weeks, Jo Ann grew more used to her husband’s unusual behavior. Her step was now a little lighter and she didn’t seem to get upset as often.

Larry has never told Jo Ann the reason for his change in behavior. So it will likely remain one of life’s mysteries. But it’s one I’m thankful to live with.

You see, I am Jo Ann.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正、誤。
