As a general rule, American men earn more than American women. This holds true across industries, across education levels, and across states. But, there’s at least one big【C1】________: part-time employees.
In 2012, women who worked less than 40 hours a week generally out-earned men who spent the same【C2】________at their jobs. If they worked 35 hours a week, they earned about 11 percent more. If they worked 25 hours a week, they earned about 4 percent more.
But once females hit that magic 40 hour【C3】________ their relative pay declined dramatically.
So why do women beat out men while working part-time and【C4】________out while working full-time? My guess is that much (【C5】________certainly not all) of the explanation【C6】________down to two reasons: marriage and children. Women, including highly educated【C7】________. tend to cut their hours once they have families and children, especially【C8】________their husband has a higher salary. Men, meanwhile, are more likely to keep working a【C9】________ week. And so part-time women, as a group, are somewhat more likely to have gone to college, and【C10】________ less likely to have dropped out of high school, than part-time men, who may well be working shorter【C11】________for lack of better options.
The problem for women is that working part-time early in their careers can cost them salary while working full-time later in their careers,【C12】________lost experience and perhaps some【C13】________opportunities for promotions. Motherhood might be the most【C14】________job in the world. But all too often, our economy still makes it【C15】________a career killer.
So【C16】________part-timers, which other women out-earn men? The BLS includes a job-by-job breakdown of the wage【C17】________, and among the nearly 150【C18】________with good-enough data to【C19】________it found just two where females were better paid: counselors and health technicians. That said, as men look more toward those sorts of traditionally pink-collar jobs for employment, one has to【C20】________how long that pay advantage will last.
【C11】
选项
A、spans
B、shifts
C、distances
D、weeks
答案
B
解析
句中who引导的定语从句修饰前面的part-time men,因此所填单词与work shorter搭配后应体现出兼职男性的工作特点。shorter shifts指“做短期的工作”,符合语义逻辑,故选B项。A项spans6“跨度,范围”,工作跨度短不一定是兼职工作。C项distances“距离”,与主题无关。D项weeks“星期”,工作的星期短不代表该工作是兼职或短期工作。
