Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women’ s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women’ s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics , with its emphasis on incentives(激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’ s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy(预言)becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环)of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
What does the author say about women’ s education?
选项
A、It deserves greater attention than other social issues.
B、It is now given top priority in many developing countries.
C、It will yield greater returns than other known investments.
D、It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.
答案
C
解析
文章全篇均是对女性教育的论述,不能肯定问题的答案出自哪一个特别的自然段。因此需要使用排除法来把错误选项逐个排除。A,它应比其他社会问题得到更多的关注。通读全篇可知,作者是从经济学角度来讨论女性教育问题,附带提到了它的社会效应(第三段),但始终把它和其他社会问题进行对比。因此A的说法不对。B,在许多发展中国家它正受到优先照顾。文中所表达的意思与B的说法恰好相反,在许多发展中国家,女性教育根本得不到重视。D,它已经引起越来越多的经济学家的兴趣。文中提到经济学家的地方只有第一段的一处:Women’s educationmay be unusual territory for economists,意思是女性教育问题对于经济学家来说或许是个陌生的领域。除此之外再无相关的论述,由此可见D的说法没有着落点。C,它能比其他已知的投资产出更多的回报。这是文章论述的中心思想。
