Many people like to collect things. Some collect stamps, some collect dolls and some collect rocks. Christa Behmenburg, from Germany, collects something unusual—mouse - related items.
Christa's husband is a geologist (地质学家). He likes collecting postcards about mineral resources(矿物资源). Christa always goes with him to fairs to get new cards for his collection. However, Christa is not interested in mineral resources. She often feels bored with these fairs. One day, she asked her husband if she could also build up a collection of something. Her husband agreed. He advised Christa to collect something about her favorite animal. That piece of advice, however, would become his biggest regret ever.
Christa's favorite animal is the mouse. She has had mice as pets since she was a teenager. The woman considers the animal lovely and clever. Two or three years after she started her collection, she went all in. Soon, she had hundreds and thousands of mouse - related items.
At first, she and her husband only had a small flat. Because of Christa's collection, however, space was getting tighter and tighter. They rented(租用,租借) the apartment next door. By 2014, Christa had had 47,398 mouse - related items. That year, she broke the Guinness World Records for the largest collection of mouse - related items.
Christa's collection continues to grow. Now, every room in her house, from the kitchen to the bathroom, is filled with mouse - related items. Sometimes, Christa's husband complains (抱怨) about the large collection. Christa, however, will remind him that it was all his idea!

答案： 1.C 细节理解题。由第二段中“He likes collecting postcards about mineral resources.”可知，他喜欢收藏有关矿物资源的明信片。
2.C 词义猜测题。收藏品越多，房间的空间就越小，因此tighter与smaller意思相近。
3.C 细节理解题。由第四段中“By 2014，Christa had had 47,398 mouse-related items.”可知，到2014年，Christa拥有47398件与老鼠相关的物品，也就是将近50000件。
4.B 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，他们房子的每个房间都有与老鼠有关的物件。
