题目内容:
Jeff and Alison had been married for a year. When people came to visit them, they always said how tidy and clean the house was, and if they stayed for dinner, it was always very tasty. Alison was a good cook and housekeeper.
One day, Alison told her friend Sue, "Jeff is a very nice man, but he is very picky(挑剔的). He always wants his dinner cooked just the right way. He makes a face if it is not right. And he hates it if there is any dirt anywhere in the house. He gets angry if the dishes are not cleaned as soon as dinner is over. His tea is never right either. It's always too strong or too weak. He is terribly picky."
That Friday night at dinner, Jeff put some salt on his vegetables.
Alison said, "Not enough salt? There is always something wrong, isn't there? You're so picky!"
"It's always tasty," said Jeff "I'm really enjoying it."
She gave him a cup of tea. Jeff looked at it.
"Is the tea all right?" she asked.
"Yes, dear," said Jeff: "It's just right."
"That's lucky," said Alison. "You're so picky about your tea!"
Jeff didn't think he was picky at all.
The next day Jeff came home while Alison was talking to Sue. Alison didn't hear Jeff come in and kept on talking.
"He didn't like the dinner I cooked last night," he heard her say. "He said he liked it but I know he didn't. I could see it on his face. He is so picky."
Jeff was surprised. He had enjoyed his dinner last night and had told Alison the truth. As he came into the room, he heard her say, "He had been picky for as long as I have known him."
"I haven't always been that picky," he told Alison, "One year ago I chose you to be my wife"
