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.
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 fate 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."
选项
A、Because their spouse would feel no pain during the death.
B、Because a death would not blow their pride and self-confidence.
C、Because a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure.
D、Because their spouse’s death would make them feel more painful.
答案
B
解析
Why would some people even prefer death to the running-away of their spouse?文章提到弃家会让被弃者的自豪和自信遭受重创,相比之下死亡更为可取,意即不会打击被弃者的心理,所以选B。
