Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works’ canteen, and the school dining room.
It is unusual now for father to continue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant (支配的) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.
What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family?
选项
A、With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.
B、There are many choices of employment for mothers and children.
C、Father does much less for his children today than he used to.
D、The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.
答案
A
解析
文中倒数第二句话说:“随着母亲和年长子女都能挣得丰厚的工资,能像本世纪初在家庭中处于支配地位的父亲已越来越少了。”由此我们可知,这就意味着母亲和孩子们不再依靠他们的丈夫和父亲,而是能靠自己挣得的工资养活自己。所以选项A正确。
