问题     One of the advantages of most paid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is【C1】______ by income and while our capitalistic society continues, this is【C2】______. It is only where the best work is concerned【C3】______this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much as a desire for success.【C4】______dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a
means of【C5】______ a reputation, whether in the world【C6】______ or only in one’s own circle.
    Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long【C7】______, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this【C8】______those women whose lives are【C9】______with housework are much less【C10】______ than men, or than women who work outside the home. The 【C11】______wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself, is【C12】______for granted by her husband, and is【C13】______by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.
    Of course this does not【C14】______ those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the【C15】______ of their neighbors; but such women are 【C16】______ few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction【C17】______ work of other kinds brings to men and to professional women.
    The satisfaction of【C18】______time and of affording some outlet, however modest, for ambition, belongs to most work, and is sufficient to make even a man whose work is dull happier on 【C19】______than a man who has no work at all. And when work is interesting, it is capable of giving satisfaction of a far higher order than mere【C20】______from tedium.
【C11】
选项 A、domesticated
B、traditional
C、obedient
D、conservative
答案A
解析 形容词辨析题。句意为：这些居家的女性没有收入，也没有办法改善自己……。“does not receive wages”和“has no means of bettering herself”都只是在描述这些女性在家中的生活，并不涉及其性格方面，故选择[A]domesticated“驯服的，喜欢家庭生活的”。
