阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选
项。
I’m 26, and have just completed my degree, but haven’t yet got a job. Nobody in
my family is university-educated and all were against me going.
When I was at university my sister, brother and father always said I was lazy and
did nothing all day, but when I returned to live at home in my third year, my parents became more supportive, although my siblings remained angry.
My sister has two small children. I love them both, but she often brings them
round unannounced and expects me to have them all day, rather than the two hours I originally agreed to. I feel I can’t cope with both children at once and I don’t think I
should have to be “on call” whenever required.
If I refuse to drop everything, my sister gets very angry and raves (咆哮) at me.
Once she even told my eldest nephew that I hate him, which upset and confused him.
Some of my friends have suggested my siblings are jealous that I went to
university. This could be true of my brother, as he was always thought of as being very intelligent. My sister was outgoing, so she might dislike her loss of freedom since becoming a mother. Or could they be annoyed with me because I’m the youngest?
Whatever the reason, I don’t know what to do. I’m very calm and I’ve tried
talking to them both, but my brother calls me a bitch (讨厌的女人) and pushes me around. Both siblings think that I’m the only one with the problem and should sort myself out, but I don’t want to be a housewife to my brother or an unpaid nanny (保姆) to my nephews.
I don’t expect them to understand how hard university was or how difficult it is
for graduates to find a job, but I’m sick of being shouted at for wanting my own life. 1. The underlined word “siblings” (in Para. 2) refers to _____. A. the brother and sister B. all the family members C. the two nephews D. the parents
2. Faced with the conflict with her brother and sister, the author _____. A. isn’t bothered by it B. feels upset
C. has decided to live by herself
