As a general rule, American men earn more than American women. This holds true across industries, across education levels, and across states. But, there’s at least one big ,【C1】________: part-time employees.
In 2012, women who worked less than 40 hours a week generally out-earned men who spent the same【C2】________at their jobs. If they worked 35 hours a week, they earned about 11 percent more. If they worked 25 hours a week, they earned about 4 percent more.
But once females hit that magic 40 hour【C3】________their relative pay declined dramatically.
So why do women beat out men while working part-time and【C4】________out while working full-time? My guess is that much (【C5】________certainly not all) of the explanation【C6】________down to two reasons: marriage and children. Women, including highly educated【C7】________, tend to cut their hours once they have families and children, especially【C8】________their husband has a higher salary. Men, meanwhile, are more likely to keep working a【C9】________week. And so part-time women, as a group, are somewhat more likely to have gone to college, and【C10】________less likely to have dropped out of high school, than part-time men, who may well be working shorter【C11】________for lack of better options.
The problem for women is that working part-time early in their careers can cost them salary while working full-time later in their careers,【C12】________lost experience and perhaps some【C13】________opportunities for promotions. Motherhood might be the most【C14】________job in the world. But all too often, our economy still makes it【C15】________a career killer.
So【C16】________part-timers, which other women out-earn men? The BLS includes a job-by-job breakdown of the wage 17, and among the nearly 150 18 with good-enough data to 19 it found just two where females were better paid: counselors and health technicians. That said, as men look more toward those sorts of traditionally pink-collar jobs for employment, one has to【C20】________how long that pay advantage will last.
【C1】
选项
A、problem
B、surprise
C、turn
D、exception
答案
D
解析
上文说美国男性比女性挣得多(American men earn more than American women),本句出现But,表示转折,可以推断其后所说情况与前面不同。D项exception意为“例外”,符合语义逻辑。A项problem“难题”,说part-time employees(兼职雇员)是个大难题,语义不通顺。B项surprise“惊喜,令人意外的事”,通常指令人吃惊的事物,不符合此处的语境。C项turn作名词意为“转折点,新趋势”,主要强调前后的变化,语义不符。
