问题     In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is suited as much as desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can obtain.  However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.
    In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domestic wife does not receive wages, as no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband(who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently rich to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors. But such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.
The author thinks the work of a housewife is ______.
选项 A、usually highly valued by the husband
B、valued for its quality by the husband
C、valued for the satisfaction it brings to the husband
D、usually not valued by the husband
答案D
解析 细节题。文章第二段第二句提到丈夫们对家庭主妇的工作习以为常，往往看不到她们的工作。
