It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner—in the US a quarter of wives now earn more than their husbands—but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. A book published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just how hard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five times as likely to be unfaithful as other husbands. The woman will probably do more than her share of chores; though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking, he is likely to end his marriage. Either way, divorce beckons.
The majority of people, even very young couples, still seem to be in relationships where the man makes more. One fiercely clever young man says his equally clever feminist girlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn’t fancy a life spent propping up his ego.
One male colleague says his wife’s habit of making a lot was a godsend for him as he loves money but is too lazy to make much himself. More commonly it comes when the man’s professional ego is not measured in money. Various men at the FT (Financial Times) have wives earning a fortune in the city, freeing them to be relatively poorly paid hacks. Within the marriage there is the understanding that his career matters as much— if not more—than hers. In the same way, some female journalists support men who are musicians and designers, who love what they do, and (in the best cases) are also happy to take the lead in bringing up the children.
The most interesting cases are when both started together in a similar industry but over the years the woman has overtaken the man. Most of these seem to end badly. But one successful male journalist explained how he had overcome the problem of having an even more successful wife. "It’s the Piketty debate, isn’t it? What matters most—inequality, or overall living standards?" In the interests of the latter, he has wisely refused to feel any resentment and instead declares himself utterly proud of his wife.
According to the journalist, how should a man face the more successful wife?
选项
A、He should try his best to maintain the equality between couples.
B、He should learn to appreciate his succesful wife.
C、He should keep the balance between work and life.
D、He should learn to express his dissatisfaction in right way.
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据题干关键词定位到最后一段的“It’s the Piketty debate,isn’t it?what matters most--inequality,or overall living standards?”In the interests of the latter,he has wisely refused to feel any resentment and instead declares himself utterly proud of his wife。意思是“这就好比是皮凯蒂之辩,不是吗?什么最重要——夫妻间的不平等,还是整体生活水平?”为了后一项利益,他明智地拒绝产生任何怨愤的感觉,而是宣称自己为妻子感到无比骄傲。故B项“他应该学会欣赏他成功的妻子”符合题意,为正确答案。
