【解析】

1.推理題。第一段最后一句,Mrs. Keller在家里做所有的家務(wù),并且不雇傭人,住院后,做什么事情就需要人幫助,由此推斷她很強(qiáng)壯。她丈夫有一家工廠,故不是沒(méi)錢雇傭人,而是她自己能做家務(wù).

2.細(xì)節(jié)題。第二段中,Mrs. Keller接到電話,知道她兒子死了,她就暈倒了。

3.細(xì)節(jié)題。第二段中,根據(jù)此句:She heard this and fell in a faint .When she came back to life ,she was in hospital .And she needed to be helped after that。這句告訴我們她健康狀況不如以前。

4.細(xì)節(jié)題。 Mrs. Keller連續(xù)兩次在接電話時(shí)受到打擊,都是關(guān)于子女死亡的電話,所以不敢再接電話。
