阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  My husband, Michael, a manager of an ordinary company, came home from work one day saying,“It's not looking good.” At midnight, I woke up seeing him sitting in a chair, his hand on his forehead.I was worried.I had to cheer him up and help ourselves financially.

  As an advisor for top companies and a teacher in creative thinking at the college of New Jewsey for years.I thought of a good plan.What if we undertake an adventure while making money from it? As a family, we'd always talked about traveling more, but we'd been tied to routines.Now I saw no point in sitting around worrying when we could see the country.We'd take our three young kids, teach them on the road.It was the perfect time before they reached high school.We'd rent out our house.

  Michael disagreed at first but realized that with his cell phone, and computer, he could work anywhere.

  We listed our house for rent and created a brand strategy, logo, and website for us-familyofftrack.com-and persuade five companies to support us.Their ads on our site would help pay travel costs, and we'd promote their brands on our trip in exchange for their support.

  With everything done, we took off on April 3.All spring and summer, we visited national landmarks and treasured lands.By August when we returned home, Michael's company continued to slide and now may have to close down.But we've made the travel a permanent part of our lives.What's more, with a Chicago-based production company I've developed the Family Off Track brand by creating videos, educational programs and exhibits.And Michael has new ideas for management businesses.It's great to see the spark in hi s eyes again.

  Now I feel it even more.Together we taught our kids a lesson:Nobody ever made history by living 100 percent by the book in times of recession(不景气).

(1)

Michael was in low spirits because ________.

[  ]

A.

he couldn't sleep well for many days

B.

it is impossible for poor people to spare their time for traveling

(3)

How did they cover the cost of travelling?

[  ]

A.

By selling products for Michael's company.

B.

By providing advertisement service.

C.

By teaching children on the way.

D.

By establishing a shopping website.

(4)

The family benefited a lot from the creative travel except ________.

[  ]

A.

the total recovery of the father's company

B.

their experiences of visiting beautiful places

C.

opening a new window to their life

D.
