B Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（传记）about herself and begin to note in. "I never did that" or "simply not true" she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even "bloggers" had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit.

The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself. C. The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character. D. Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character. 5. Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream? A. She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream. B. She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them. C.
