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
Why did her friends and neighbours stop seeing her after a few months?
选项
A、Because they had to travel a long way to see her.
B、Because they had found some new friends.
C、Because they had fallen sick.
D、Because they had lost interest in the new place.
答案
A
解析
她的朋友数月后不再来看望她的原因是养老院离他们的住处太远。有关这一点,可以在第一段的最后一个句子中找到。其他原因在文章中都未提及。
