It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote. Some people think this is the main reason women are so underrepresented in politics, trade unions and big businesses. Others feel it is simply that they are much too busy doing other things. The old saying "a woman’s place is in home" may seem out of date to most people, but the old, fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual—one only has to watch a few television ads.
In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work. Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money, but generally women do not do the same job; they do different ones that offer lower salaries. The areas women work in are almost all those of "service": teaching, nursing, catering and cleaning, jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.
Apart from looking after people during the day at work, women often have to take care of family at home too, which may mean they have less energy to complete in the race for professional development.
In almost every field, top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women, for example, most headmasters are not. School cooks are women, head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers.
In Paragraph 2, the word "catering" may mean______.
选项
A、preparing meals
B、writing articles
C、running a school
D、watching TV programs
答案
A
解析
词义推测题。根据前文“teaching,nursing”和后文的“cleaning,jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role”可推知catering指“餐饮业”,故选A项。
