问题    That afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had seen Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her stepmother would take herself off to London much more often.
   "Well now, Dad," she said, "I’m going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient."
   "I hope you aren’t going to boss me, Molly. You’re walking me out of breath already. We mustn’t pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry. "They crossed the street to speak to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the Doctor’s patients,  "We’re just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They’ve gone up for a week."
   "Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" Said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It’ll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister."
   "Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the case. "I’ll miss Cynthia."
   "And you, Dr. Gibson, I hope you won’t feel like widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday?"
   Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly’s shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady’s satisfaction.
   A moment later Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evening! We’ve only got five now. I’ve been planning all sorts of things for us to do tonight."
   "What sort of things?"
   "Oh, I don’t know. Things you used to like. "she looked at him boldly. "Forbidden things now."
   Her father’s eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. "I’m not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and sensible guidance I’ve reached a very fair height of civilized behavior, and there I’m going to stay."
   "Oh, no, you’re not. We’re having bread and cheese for supper tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV ! And you shall wear your dressing-gown at breakfast tomorrow — and every morning for a week ! And you shall read the paper at the dining-table ! That’s only a start. I haven’t finished by a long way yet."
What was Molly’s father afraid of?
选项 A、He feared he might lose his position as a doctor.
B、He suspected Molly wanted him to do something criminal.
C、He thought Molly would encourage his old bad habits.
D、He believed Molly was trying to make him leave his wife.
答案C
解析 文章在倒数第三段中Molly告诉她父亲要做的事时说，Things you used to like，forbidden things now这说明这是他以前的旧习惯。她父亲对此的反应出现在倒数第二段中，即I’m not going to be pulled down…，pull down一词暗示了他不想捡起那些坏毛病，所以他的担忧就在于怕Molly怂恿他继续捡起那些坏毛病。
