问题     On Thursday night, The New York Times published an interview with Elon Musk that offers a view into the billionaire entrepreneur’s life in the last year. Musk choked up " multiple times," the Times reported in the story, and "alternated between laughter and tears. " He explained that he was overworked at Tesla, his electric-car company—which has spent the past several months scrambling to meet ambitious production goals—and that the situation has taken a toll on his physical health, family time, and social life.
    The interview crystallized the incipient narrative that not all has been well in the state of Musk this year. The first hint of trouble came in May, when Musk berated investors on a Tesla earnings call for asking "boring, bonehead questions. " Then came his war with the press over news coverage of Tesla, and then his attack on a cave diver who had criticized Musk’s attempts to aid in the rescue of a soccer team in Thailand. And then, earlier this month, he floated the idea of converting Tesla into a private company, a suggestion that has reportedly prompted an investigation by federal securities regulators.
    Self-reflection, vulnerability, acknowledgment of the effects of work on one’s well-being—these are admirable qualities in a leader of any company. And it is important, in a culture that too often rewards work at the expense of well-being, to discuss openly the often unsustainable results of that culture. But as I watched the responses to Musk’s tell-all roll in, I tried to imagine what would happen if a female CEO of a major company gave a similar interview. How would she be perceived?
    Both men and women take a risk when they reveal stressors or struggles, but their candor doesn’t usually garner the same reaction. For women, the risks of being open are far greater, and they can manifest in tangible ways.
    " Women incur social and economic penalties for expressing masculine-typed emotions because they violate proscriptions against dominance for women. At the same time, when women express female-typed emotions, they are judged as overly emotional and lacking emotional control, which ultimately undermines women’s competence and professional legitimacy," according to the Handbook on Weil-Being of Working Women, a collection of research and literature on the topic.
What would NOT happen if a female CEO reveals emotions that a male has?
选项 A、She would receive the same reaction as a male would.
B、She would be regarded as too emotional and lacking emotional control.
C、Her competence and professional legitimacy would be undermined.
D、She would receive social and economic penalties.
答案A
解析 细节题。本题问的是“如果一名女性首席执行官展现出和男性一样的情绪，不会发生什么”，由此可以定位到文章的最后两段。仔细阅读可知，[B]，[C]，[D]都是女性会真实遇到的，可见男女的不平等，选项[A]出自原句“但他们的坦诚通常不会得到同样的反应”，因此[A]与原文意思相悖，应该选择[A]。
