Dearest Scottie:
I don’t think I will be writing letters many more years and I wish you would read this letter twice--bitter as it may seem. You will reject it now, but at a later period some of it may come back to you as truth. When I’m talking to you, you think of me as an older person, an "authority," and when I speak of my own youth what I say becomes unreal to you--for the young can’t believe in the youth of their fathers. But perhaps this little bit will be understandable if I put it in writing.
When I was your age I lived with a great dream. The dream grew and I learned how to speak of it and make people listen. Then the dream divided one day when I decided to marry your mother after all, even though I knew she was spoiled and meant no good to me. I was sorry immediately I had married her but, being patient in those days, made the best of it and got to love her in another way. Yor came along and for a long time we made quite a lot of happiness out of our lives. But I was a man divided-- she wanted me to work too much for her and not enough for my dream. She realized too late that work was dignity, and the only dignity, and tried to atone for it by working herself, but it was too late and she broke and is broken forever.
……
The mistake I made was in marrying her. We belonged to different worlds--she might have been happy with a kind simple man in a southern garden. She didn’t have the strength for the big stage-- sometimes she pretended, and pretended beautifully, but she didn’t have it. She was soft when she should have been hard, and hard when she should have been yielding. She never knew how to use her energies--she’s passed that failling onto you.
For a long time I hated her mother for giving her nothing in the line of good habit-- nothing but "getting by" and conceit. I never wanted to see again in this world women who were brought up as idlers. And one of my chief desires in life was to keep you from being that kind of persons, one who brings ruin to themselves and others. When you began to show disturbing signs at about fourteen, I comforted myself with the idea that you were too precocious socially and a strict school would fix things. But sometimes I think that idlers seem to be a special class for whom nothing can be planned, plead as one will with them--their only contribution to the human family is to warm a seat at the common table.
……
It can be inferred that the father disapproves of idlers because ______.
选项
A、these idlers are proud for no good reason
B、these idlers need special care from their parents
C、idleness is destructive to life
D、the idle person cannot be a bread earner in the family
答案
C
解析
第4段第3句讲到idler是这样一种人:that kind of persons,one who brings ruin to themselves and others,即他们不仅破坏了自己的生活,也破坏了别人的生活。因此,可看出懒散对生活是有破坏性的。所以答案为选项C。
