问题     For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.
    Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看不孩的人) , transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.
    Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.
    There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned(被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.
    From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had al lowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.
Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?
选项
答案Because they might end up with less money．/Because going back to work might cost more money
解析 在第二段中作者用Marge一家的情况证明有时妇女工作比不工作还要糟。他们有两个学龄前的孩子，如果把雇用别人照看小孩的费用、交通费用和税费加起来，可能实际收入比她不工作还要少。
