As a general rule, American men earn more than American women. This holds true across industries, across education levels, and across states. But, there’s at least one big【C1】________: part-time employees.
In 2012, women who worked less than 40 hours a week generally out-earned men who spent the same【C2】________at their jobs. If they worked 35 hours a week, they earned about 11 percent more. If they worked 25 hours a week, they earned about 4 percent more.
But once females hit that magic 40 hour【C3】________ their relative pay declined dramatically.
So why do women beat out men while working part-time and【C4】________out while working full-time? My guess is that much (【C5】________certainly not all) of the explanation【C6】________down to two reasons: marriage and children. Women, including highly educated【C7】________. tend to cut their hours once they have families and children, especially【C8】________their husband has a higher salary. Men, meanwhile, are more likely to keep working a【C9】________ week. And so part-time women, as a group, are somewhat more likely to have gone to college, and【C10】________ less likely to have dropped out of high school, than part-time men, who may well be working shorter【C11】________for lack of better options.
The problem for women is that working part-time early in their careers can cost them salary while working full-time later in their careers,【C12】________lost experience and perhaps some【C13】________opportunities for promotions. Motherhood might be the most【C14】________job in the world. But all too often, our economy still makes it【C15】________a career killer.
So【C16】________part-timers, which other women out-earn men? The BLS includes a job-by-job breakdown of the wage【C17】________, and among the nearly 150【C18】________with good-enough data to【C19】________it found just two where females were better paid: counselors and health technicians. That said, as men look more toward those sorts of traditionally pink-collar jobs for employment, one has to【C20】________how long that pay advantage will last.
【C9】
选项
A、stressful
B、happy
C、full
D、complete
答案
C
解析
从本句的meanwhile(另一方面)可以看出,此处提到的男性情况与上一句所说的女性倾向于减少工作时间形成对比。因此修饰week的词语应能体现出男性工作时间比女性长。work a full week“做全职工作”,符合此处的语境,故选C项。A项stressful“紧张的,有压力的”,B项happy“高兴的”,紧张或高兴的一周不能表明工作时间长。D项complete“完整的”,强调事物的完整性,不符合表达习惯。
