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.
According the passage, the housework often brings satisfaction to women ______.
选项 A、who are very rich
B、who envy their neighbors
C、who work outside the home
D、who are dependent on their husbands
答案A
解析 细节题。文章第二段第三句提到上面所指不包括那些十分富裕的妇女，她们拥有漂亮的住宅、美丽的花园，成为邻居们羡慕的对象，下句所言大多数妇女不能从家务劳动中得到工作给男人和其他从业妇女带来的满足，可知对十分富裕的妇女来说，她们能从家务中得到满足。
