My husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I came back． It wasn't like him to be home so early． The disbelief on his face told me that something was up．
"Do you still have a job？"
"No． Redundant，" he answered， looking away from me．
"OK． We'll figure it out，" I replied calmly． I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out． I immediately started to think of how we'd cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with． That night， after David had fallen asleep， I cried myself to sleep， and frequently sobbed（抽泣） in the shower in the days that followed．
I knew the loss of David's income would have great effect on us． He had worked for the same company for twenty﹣one years and was our main income． I work at home caring for Laura， and my income is uncertain． We have debts， and job hunting takes time．
Still， I was more concerned about my husband's emotional state than our financial situation． David's sense of identity was tied to his job． He called his parents to tell them about losing his job， but didn't say a word to anyone else for weeks． He told me that he felt like "a failure"．
It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment． One night several weeks after he lost his job， David woke me just before midnight， sweating， pacing the bedroom floor and saying he didn't feel well． We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack． Thankfully， it was just a serious anxiety attack． It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through． Here is what I learned from my own experience﹣ and from talking to experts﹣ on how to support your loved ones through a job loss．

My father had just come back from his short-term business visit to England when I came in, rather late, to dinner. I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet." I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."
1.The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.

2.The writer's father would enjoy being different unless ________.
A. there was no danger of showing off B. it drew much attention to him
C. it was understood as a joke D. it didn't bring him in arguments
3.The writer felt ________ about the idea of going to Eton.
A. unhappy B. unbelievable
C. delighted. D. complicated
4.Based on the passage we know that ________.
A. it is not easy for children to get admitted by Eton
B. children can go to Eton if they would like to
C. children who can go to Eton are very famous
D. children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton
