"I would almost rather see you dead. " Bobert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’ s family racked among the best of Philadelphia’ s social families, such an idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’ s anger, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance, she became America’ s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
What in fact was Mr Cassatt’ s main reason in opposing his daughter’ s wish?
选项
A、Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days.
B、He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art.
C、He believed an artist’ s life would be too hard for his daughter.
D、Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.
答案
D
解析
根据下文可以看出,对于一个生长在上层社会家庭的女性来说,这样的想法是不能有的,因此答案选D。
