During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women.
A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four of five lived till they were five years old.
By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for them to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’ s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
This important change in women’ s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work.
Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.
One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she______.
选项
A、is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B、does not like children herself
C、needn’ t worry about food for her children
D、can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty
答案
A
解析
文章第一段将现在的妇女与过去的妇女作了比较。倒数后两句说到一般而言,当孩子十五岁时,现代妇女刚四十五岁,她还可以再去找工作。故A为最佳选项。
