The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. 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 or 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 custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her 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 retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to 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 relation in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
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、need not worry about food for her children
D、can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty
答案
A
解析
本题问当代妇女可以找工作的原因是什么。文章第一段后半部分指出,当代妇女结婚早,生育少。通常当她的最小的孩子长到15岁时,她才只45岁,假设还能活35年,她还是很可能找到有薪工作,一直工作到60岁退休。即使她同时还需照顾孩子们,家用电器和方便食品也可以减轻她的工作负担。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“当她的孩子们都长大可以自己照看自己时,她还比较年轻”。
