”I would almost rather see you dead, “ Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker(银

painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not.
And when the young lady’s family ranked among(跻身于) the best of Philadelphia’
s social(社交界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not
tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed(抗拒) him with courage and
at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position(社会
地位) and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable

D. She did not come from an artist’s family.
C. She had no social position.
77. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage(婚姻) ?
A. Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and family.
B. She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.
C. MARGI After marriage she decided to give up her husband rather than her career(事
业).
D. She did not marry because for a lady of her social position to marry below her
was unthinkable.
78. What do we know about Robert Cassatt’s character from the text?
A. He was a cruel man.
B. He was a stubborn(固执的) man.
C. He knew nothing about art.
D. He knew little about his daughter.

A. She was brave in going against old ideas.
B. She got tired of always obeying her father.
C. She hated playing at drawing and painting.
