Question

A woman was having some trouble with her heart, so she went to see the doctor. He was a new doctor, and didn’t know her, so he first asked some questions and one of them was, “How old are you?”

“Well,” she answered, “I don’t remember, doctor, but I will try to think.” She thought for a minute and then said, “Yes, I remember now, doctor! When I got married(结婚时),I was eighteen years old and my husband was thirty. Now my husband is sixty, I know. And that is twice(两倍) thirty. So I am twice eighteen. That is thirty-six, isn’t it?”

根据短文判断正（T）误（F）：

1.They were talking in the woman’s house.

2.There was something wrong with the woman’s heart.

3.The doctor wanted to know how old the woman’s heart was.

4.The woman was much younger than her husband.

5.The woman was really thirty-six years old.
