Every night she listened to her father going around the house, locking the doors and windows. She listened; the back door closed; she could hear the fastener of the kitchen window’s click, and the restless pad of his feet going back to try the front door. It wasn’t only the outside doors he locked; he locked the empty kitchen too. He was looking something out, but obviously it was something capable of entering into his first defenses. He raised his second line all the way up to bed.
In fourteen years, she thought unhappily, the house will be his; he had paid twenty-five pounds down and the rest he was paying month by month as rent. "Of course," he was in the habit of saying, "I’ve improved the property. " "Yes," he repeated, "I’ve improved the property," looking around for a nail to drive in, a weed to uproot. It was more than a sense of property; it was a sense of honesty. Some people who bought their homes through the society let them go to rack and ruin and then cleared out.
She stood with her ear against the wall, a small, dark, angry, immature figure. There was no more to be heard from the other room; but in her inner ear she still heard the footsteps of a property owner, the tap-tap of a hammer, the scrape of a spade, the whistle of radiator steam, a key turning, a bolt pushed home, the little busy sounds of men building barriers. She stood planning.
From the passage we can see that the father is______.
选项
A、kind to his daughter and neighbors
B、cruel to his daughter and neighbors
C、systematical in his actions
D、careful about his appearance
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据第一段可推出,他有意防着他邻居。根据第二段可知,他女儿想到是她父亲的房子就很不开心,而且他总是习惯说是他改善了全家人的生活条件。由此可以推出,他对邻居和女儿都不友善,比较无情。所以正确答案是A选项。
