问题     In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure (获得, 取得). However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domestic wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband (who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; but such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.
According to the passage, the work of a housewife is______.
选项 A、usually highly valued by the husband
B、valued for its quality by the husband
C、valued for the satisfaction it brings to the husband
D、usually not sufficiently valued by the husband
答案D
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问文章指出家庭妇女的工作是怎样的。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的倒数第二句话中找到提示信息。这句话指出，家庭妇女们得不到报酬，没办法提高自己。她们的丈夫理所当然地认为她们应该这样，他们实际上看不到妻子做了些什么，他们不以她们所做的家务对她们进行评价，而是根据她们的其他素质对她们进行评价。由此我们可以推测，本题的正确答案应是D“家庭妇女的工作通常被她们的丈夫所低估”。
