They are regarded as chores by both sexes, but fall disproportionately on only one. The latest survey of time use in America suggests women still【C1】______most of the housework, spending on average an hour a day scrubbing, hoovering and shopping,【C2】______with barely 20 minutes for the unfairer sex.
Standard【C3】______for this division of labour【C4】______on the pay gap between the sexes. A recent report shows women【C5】______earn about 20% less than men in America Couples can maximise earnings【C6】______the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the【C7】______work at home. But in a new paper Leslie Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University asks【C8】______different attitudes to housework also play a【C9】______in sharing the dusting.
Mr Stratton draws on data from the Time Use Survey in Britain,【C10】______shows how people spent their day and which tasks they enjoyed. Attitudes certainly【C11】______: women disliked laundry less than men. Ironing was generally dreaded; weirdly large numbers of both sexes liked shopping for food.
Mr Stratton found some【C12】______for the pay-gap hypothesis. Women with higher wages did a little【C13】______work at home. A woman who earned 10% more than【C14】______ducked out of two minutes’ housework per weekday. Her partner heroically【C15】______up this time at the weekend.【C16】______his wages made no difference【C17】______the extent of his efforts around the house.

选项
A、obvious
B、uncommon
C、absolute
D、unclear
答案
D
解析
文章最后是一个疑问句,说明家务活由低收入者承担的因果关系并无定论,因此D项unclear“不清楚的”正确。obvious“明显的”;uncommon“不凡的”;absolute“绝对的”。
