问题     In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure (获得, 取得). However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domestic wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband (who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; but such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.
According to the passage, which of the following contributes most to a person’s ultimate happiness?
选项 A、To be highly paid for his or her work.
B、To be able to work consistently towards a goal.
C、To have the best kind of job.
D、To be able to build up a good reputation.
答案B
解析 本题仍然是一道具体细节题。问按照文章内容，下面哪个能带来最终的幸福。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的第五句话中找到相关的内容。这句话指出，从长远的角度来说，目的的持久性是幸福的最基本的内涵，而对于大多数男人来说，这一点主要来自于他们的工作。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“能够为了达到目标持久地努力工作是最终幸福的根本动因”。
