D. H. Lawrence was the fourth child of Arthur Lawrence and Lydia Beardsall, and their first to have been born in Eastwood. Ever since their marriage in 1875, the couple had been on the move: Arthur’s job as a miner had taken them where the best-paid work had been during the boom years of the 1870s, and they had lived in a succession of small and recently built grimy colliery villages all over Nottinghamshire. But when they moved to Eastwood in 1883, it was to a place where they would remain for the rest of their lives; the move seems to have marked a watershed in their early history.
For one thing, they were settling down: Arthur Lawrence would work at Brinsley colliery until he retired in 1909. For another, they now had three small children and Lydia may have wanted to give them the kind of continuity in schooling they had never previously had. It was also the case that, when they came to Eastwood, they took a house with a shop window, and Lydia ran a small clothes shop: presumably to supplement their income, but also perhaps because she felt she could do it in addition to raising their children. It seems possible that, getting on badly with her husband as she did, she imagined that further children were out of the question. Taking on the shop may have marked her own bid for independence.
Arthur’s parents lived less than a mile away, down in Brinsley, while his youngest brother Walter lived only 100 yards away from them in another company house, in Princes Street. When the family moved to Eastwood, Arthur Lawrence was coming back to his own family’s center: one of the reasons, for sure, why they stayed there.
Lydia Lawrence probably felt, on the other hand, more as if she were digging in for a siege. Eastwood may have been home to Arthur Lawrence, but to Lydia it was just another grimy colliery village which she never liked very much and where she never felt either much at home or properly accepted. Her Kent accent doubtless made Midlands people feel that she put on airs. [br] The family had been on the move, because ______.
选项
A、they had to stay with the father who had to go everywhere to find a job in depression
B、the father could find better-paid jobs in the prosperity of economy
C、the father wanted to be near with his own home
D、the mother always wanted to change the location of their house
答案
B
解析
文章第一段第三行有这样一句话“Arthur’s job as a miner had taken them where the best-paid work had been during the boom years of the 1870s.”它是说,在19世纪80年代的经济繁荣时期,Arthur不停换地方工作是因为他在不停的寻找待遇最好的地方工作,由于他换地方工作,整个家庭也就跟着他不停搬迁。A也是说要跟随Arthur到处找工作,但是最后是说在经济萧条时期,与原文不符,所以B最符合文章原意。
