[单项选择]Tom Sponson, at fifty-three, was a thoroughly successful man. He had married a charming wife and built himself a good house in a London suburb. His son, Bob, nineteen, was doing well at Oxford; his daughter, April, aged sixteen, who was at a good school, had no wish to use makeup, to wear low frocks or to flirt.

All the same, for some time, Tom had been aware that he was working very hard for very little. His wife, Louise, gave him a peck in the morning when he left for the office, and if she were not at a party, a quick kiss when he came home in the evening. Her life was completely filled with the children, her clothes, keeping her figure slim, the house clean and smart, with her bridge, her tennis, her friends and her parties.
The chidren were even more preoccupied-the boy with his own work and his friends, the girl with hers. They were polite to Tom, but when
A. at the age when many girls begin to be a problem to their parents
B. still too young to be interested in boys or men and love
C. a worry to her father because she took no interest in boys
