Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop.Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can-go-to the laundry, food can be bought cooked,canned, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the workers’ canteen, and the school dining-room.
It is unusual now for father to pursue(追求) his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation(职业), and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile(纺织品的) areas it has long been a custom for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child’ s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last 25 years. With mother earning and older children drawing much salaries father is seldom the controlling figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’ s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.
What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family?
选项
A、With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.
B、There are many choices of employment for mothers and children.
C、Father does much less for his children today than he used to.
D、The number of married women in employment has increased now.
答案
A
解析
从第二段倒数第二句“With mother earning and older children drawing much salaries fatheris seldom the controlling figure that he still was atthe beginning of the century.”可知,由于母亲挣钱,还有家里大一点的孩子也能赚很多的钱,所以说父亲很少是家里说了算的人了。故正确的答案为A。
