问题     Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge(剧增)of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage．Many wonen，acdording to this hypothesl’s，WOuld rather work than marry．The converse(反面)of this conceITl is that the prospects of becoming a multi—paycheck household could encourage marriage．In the past，only the earnings and financial prospects of the man courtted in the marriage decision．Now，however，the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner．Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or axe coneerned about rainy days ahead..As the economy comes to life，the number of marriages also rises．
    The increa8e in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home．Yet，it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause—and—effect conclusions．The impact of a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions．The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage．But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的)．Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage．By raising a family’s standard of living，a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability．
    Psychological factors also should be considered．For example．a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house．She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce．On the other hand．if she call find fulfillment through work outside the home，work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union．
Also．a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that，in most cases，men have remained the main breadwinners．A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house．Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions，it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities．
Which of the following statements c肌best summarize the author’s view in the passage?
选项 A、The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country．
B、Even when economically independent，most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage．
C、In order to secure their marriage，women should work outside the home and remain independent．
D、The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case．
答案D
