试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文讲述了皮特由于自己的疏忽让大儿子生病去世了，妻子也离他而去，留下小儿子Ernie和他一起生活。皮特觉得生活毫无希望，开始酗酒，并失去了他所有的东西，最后孤独的死去。我刚开始认为皮特是个失败的人。后来认识了他的儿子Ernie，他是个充满爱的人。我想知道他的友好和关爱来自于哪里。Ernie告诉我以前父亲每晚喝酒回家都会跟他说，“我爱你，儿子。”这让我意识到皮特虽然没留下财物，但留下了爱给孩子。

1.B考查副词与语境理解。句意：皮特和妻子认为他只是感冒了，所以没有认真对待。serious 严肃的；seriously严肃地；easy容易的；easily容易地。take seriously认真对待，所以选B。
