Addison Heard uses an image of his wife and infant son for the background on his laptop. An MBA student at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, Heard thinks about his family constantly. But because he’s away at B-school, he has experienced much of his son’s first year via phone calls and digital photos. Says Heard: "It has been particularly hard, not being there with them every day."
This was his family’s choice. It didn’t make financial sense for his wife, Eden, a corporate lawyer in Washington, to quit her job, sell their condo (公寓), and move to Charlottesville with her husband. So he went alone. In his first year each spouse made the 200-mile round-trip commute on alternate weekends. Since their son was born last May, Addison has been doing most of the driving.
As complicated as the Heards’ situation seems, it isn’t all that rare. In any year, hundreds of couples deal with how to handle the family logistics (后勤) of going to B-school. Some choose a long-distance relationship, commuting back and forth on weekends and breaks. Others see partners and children only on vacations and holidays. Still others pack up the family and bring them along.
Being apart hasn’t been easy, but the Heards have made it work. On weekends when the couple is in Virginia, they attend social events, so she can feel a part of the community. Heard also avoids Friday classes to gain more family time. "We’ve gotten into a routine that works," he says, "but I’m looking forward to being home, so the three of us can be a family."
Any long-distance commute puts pressure on a relationship, causing some couples to drift apart. Throw in a rigorous academic schedule for one spouse and a demanding career for the other, and the stress intensifies, often distracting students from their studies.
Some schools offer students in these situations a good deal of support. For faraway spouses, there are on-campus social events when they visit, online communities, even involvement in alumni networks in their home cities. But mainly B-schools try to make it easier for students to take their partners along for the ride. They help families find housing, preschools, or local employment.
The decision to attend a distant B-school is fraught (充满着) with financial and logistical problems. Students also must decide if their families should stay or go. Either way, schools try to accommodate them. "We have more than ourselves to think about," Hrncirik says. "It’s a family-influenced choice." [br] As an MBA student, Heard knows something about his son mainly via______
选项
答案
phone calls and digital photos
解析
空前的via表明,本空应填入名词或名词性短语。根据题干中的his son,可将本题出处定位到首段第三句。该句提到,由于离家去念MBA,Heard通过电话和数码相片了解一岁儿子的情况。空前的via与原文的via完全一致,因而很容易便可得出答案为phone calls and digital photos。
