Mrs. White was 67 when she was moved out of the house where she had lived most of her life. The house was pulled down and a new block of flats was built there instead. At about the same time her only son was offered a job in Canada. Since the shopping and the housework had become too much for her, and her son and his wife were not able to look after her any more, Mrs. White had to be taken to Homefield Old People’s Home. She still had some friends near her old home,but now she was separated form them. During the first few months she was visited by friends and former neighbours, but Homefield was a long way from where they lived, too far away for old people.
At Homefield Mrs. White was given a small room of her own, and she was well looked after.
But she knew no one when she arrived, and she was not able to make friends there. She was well liked by the people who worked there, but she kept apart from the other old people and spent most of her time in her room. After a time she was hardly ever seen at meetings and social evenings.
Although she was in poor health and had to be treated for a weak heart, she did not complain. "After all", she said, "lots of people are worse off than I am".
What she disliked most was the"quietness "in the home, and what was even worse was that her son was not able to see her, not even at Christmas
Which of the following words can best describe her life in the old people’s home?
选项
A、Busy.
B、Unhappy.
C、Varied.
D、Happy.
答案
B
解析
从文章提供的她深居简出、几乎不参加各处聚会和社交晚会、儿子在圣诞节都不能去看她等方面的信息可以看出,她在养老院的生活是不幸福的。
