1 Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it.
2 Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults.
3 It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed.
4 It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required.
5 Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop.
6 If one compares the image of the woman in the women’s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially.
7 A careful balance has to be struck, if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife.
8 So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely homebaked flavour the family love", and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced.
9 Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.
According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women______.
选项
A、remove unpleasant aspects of housework.
B、save the housewife very little time.
C、save the housewife’s time but not her money.
D、have absolutely no value for the housewife.
答案
B
解析
此题为细节理解题。据第1、3句,我们可以确定B,排除A、C与D。不妨以洗衣机为例,它可以将洗涤过程这一比较累人的活儿干掉,但还需要人做一些辅助性事情,而这些同样需花很多的时间。tiring不等于unpleasant。事实上,那些辅助性活儿若不要人干也许会更好,可惜洗衣机做不到。
