问题     There are two main changes comparing with the past. First, there are new definitions of what man can achieve, of what a human standard of life should be. In recent times this has been particularly true since technology has consistently broadened man’s potential, it has made a longer, healthier, better life possible. Thus, in terms of what is technically possible, we have higher aspirations. Those who suffer levels of life well below those that are possible, even though they live better than medieval knights (中世纪骑士) or Asian peasants, are poor.
    Related to this technological advance is the social definition of poverty. The American rich in Hong Kong or in the sixteenth century are poor here and now in the United States. They are dispossessed in terms of what the rest of the nations enjoy, in terms of what the society could provide if it had the will. They live on the fringe, the margin. They watch the movies and read the magazines of affluent (丰富的) American, and these will tell them that they are internal exiles.
    And finally, one of the reasons that the income figures show fewer people today with low incomes than 20 years ago is that more wives are working now, and family income has risen as a result. In 1940, 15% of wives were in the labor force; in 1957 the figure was 30%. This means that there was more money and, presumably, less poverty. Yet a tremendous growth in the number of the impoverishment of home life, of children who receive less care, love, and supervision. This one fact, for instance, might well play a significant role in the problems of the young in America. It could mean that we have made an improvement in income statistics at the cost of hurting thousands and thousands of children. If a person has money but achieves this through mortgaging the future, who is to say that he or she is no longer poor?
Which of the following sentences best describes the last paragraph?
选项 A、Women are playing a less important role in educating children.
B、It’s really unnecessary for women to work.
C、Improvement in income at the cost of the happiness of children doesn’t mean rich.
D、Problems of the young will be solved if women do not work.
答案C
解析 第三段中说妇女参加工作使得家庭收入增加，但却以伤害成千上万儿童的幸福为代价。最后一句是对该段的总结，也为该段的主旨，与选项C相符。A项这一说法本身正确，但不全面；B“妇女有没有必要出去工作”和D“如果妇女不工作就可以解决孩子的问题”原文未提及。
