题目

阅读理解 In my late 20s, my world turned upside down in just 72 hours, my husband and I both lost our jobs at the same time in one disastrous week in May. Doug worked at a local construction(建筑) company, while I was a quality-control inspector for Jan Sport. We were both extremely hard workers, but we could not deal with a depressed economy (经济). Doug was laid off on Wednesday and, two short days later, I learned that my entire company had decided to move to Mexico to save money. In the space of several days, we were without any means to support our family. As you can imagine, I didn't react well to the news that both my husband and I were suddenly out of work without any earlier warning. Who would? I wanted to find a place to hide, but that wasn't a choice. Doug, understandably, felt unhappy. It was also one of the only three times in our entire marriage when I saw fear in his eyes. Fortunately, our family had made a smart decision a few years earlier that saved us from the disaster. It had taken us two years, but we managed to save a $l, 000 emergency fund(资金). At the time, that $1, 000 emergency fund was equal to about six weeks of bills. Without that emergency fund to pay our rent, we would have probably been homeless. My family all lived in the Midwest-more than 2, 000 miles away from us-so we didn't really have family support as a backup choice at the time. But having our emergency fund allowed us to pay bills for the next month. At the same time, we focused on job searches. Luckily, we both found work a few weeks later. （1） What did the author think resulted in their unemployment? A . Their laziness. B . Their carelessness. C . Their lack of new skills. D .
