Welcome, everybody, to the lovely house and gardens of Rosewood, once the home of the famous writer, Sebastian George. He bought the house in 1902 although he had first seen it two years earlier. At that time the owners let it out to a tenant because George was too slow making up his mind to buy it. When it came back on the market, there was no hesitation and he bought it immediately, for £9,300, even though the house had no bathroom, no running water upstairs, and no electricity.
When he came here, he’d been married for ten years. During that time, he’d become one of the most famous writers in the English-Speaking world. His professional success was enormous, but his personal life wasn’ t as successful. He was no longer on speaking terms with his brother and had been devastated by the death at the age of seven of his elder daughter, Josephine.
Moving to Rosewood allowed the family to start a new life. George regarded Rosewood as a pure example of a traditional country house of this part of England and did some of his most successful writing here. The house and its grounds became the family haven and their escape to privacy and quiet. The walls, and the mullioned windows were built of the local sandstone, the tiles on the roofs and the bricks of the chimney stack were baked from local clay, and the wooden structures inside came from oak trees which grow around here.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What was his reaction when the writer Sebastian George first saw Rosewood House?
10. What had George experienced before buying the house?
11. How did George view Rosewood House?
选项

B、He decided he would buy it.
C、He felt it was too expensive for him.
D、He was unsure whether to buy it.
答案
D
解析
细节题。由because George was too slow making up his mind to buy it可知乔治最初并没有下定决心买下房子,因此答案是D。
