【2】G

【3】A

【4】C

【5】E

【解析】

本文講述了一對(duì)夫婦對(duì)愛(ài)，成功和財(cái)富進(jìn)行選擇。最后，他們選擇了愛(ài)。因此，有愛(ài)，就會(huì)有成功和財(cái)富。

【1】根據(jù)后文的“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.可知，我們不一起進(jìn)屋，

根據(jù) “Let us invite Wealth!”“讓我們邀請(qǐng)財(cái)富！”因此表示要邀請(qǐng)他們進(jìn)來(lái)吃東西，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)The woman went in and told her husband what had happened.“女人進(jìn)去告訴她丈夫發(fā)生了什么事。”可知，表示讓她進(jìn)去和她的家人商量一下，想讓他們中的哪一個(gè)去她家。故選G。

【3】根據(jù)Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “Let us invite Wealth!”可知，她的丈夫想要邀請(qǐng)財(cái)富。根據(jù) “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?”可知，她想要邀請(qǐng)成功。因此他的妻子不同意他的看法。故選A。

【4】根據(jù)Love got up and started walking toward the house.“愛(ài)站起來(lái)，朝房子走去。”可知，她出去邀請(qǐng)愛(ài)進(jìn)來(lái)，故選C。

【5】根據(jù)but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.“但既然你邀請(qǐng)了愛(ài)，無(wú)論他走到哪里，我們都會(huì)跟著他。”可知，無(wú)論愛(ài)在哪里，財(cái)富和成功就在哪里。故選E。
