文章大意：本文是記敘文，EBay是一家可以買賣物品的網(wǎng)站，然而有些人卻會出售奇怪的物品，比如Steve Owen出售的居然是自己的丈母娘，他為什么這么做呢？

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第二段第二行Now his mother-in-law lives on the same street as Steve and his wife可知，Steve Owen和岳母住在同一條街上，故答案選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money可知，Steve不喜歡Caroline，故答案選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money“我岳母每天都來我家，”歐文說。她總是抱怨！她說我的房子很臟，我掙的錢不夠”可知，Caroline總是說Steve壞話，故答案選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第四段第二行In fact, Owen will only sell Caroline to someone from the US可知，Steve Owen將會只會把Caroline賣給美國的人。故答案選D。

閱讀理解題中的細(xì)節(jié)理解題，首先找出問句中的關(guān)鍵詞，然后根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文章具體位置，然后選出正確答案即可。

例如題目2中，關(guān)鍵詞是Steve feel about Caroline，可定位到文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money可知，Steve不喜歡Caroline，故答案選B。
