Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1, 200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home-the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. "It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty. "
Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse(配偶)because______.
选项
A、their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B、their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
C、a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D、their spouse death would make them feel less painful
答案
D
解析
细节理解题。文章第四段第二、三旬说明那些被遗弃的人甚至宁愿自己的配偶已经死亡,至少死亡不会意味着自己被抛弃或失败,所以要比被遗弃的感觉好点。B、C两项属于考试中典型的陷阱式干扰项,因为B项中的“pride andconfidence”及C项中的“rejection or failure”在原文中皆有出现,马虎的考生可能不假思索就选了B或C,正好中了圈套,其实稍微细心一点就会发现B、C和文章所说的并不是一回事。第四段第三句“At least it…”中的it是指death而不是题干中主语所指。
