问题     In the old days, when a glimpse of stockings was looked upon as something far too shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.
    Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his personal servant,charged with remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents;taking his suits to dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at bay; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.
    Now all this may be changing again. Hie microchip (集成块)and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much better of the routine clerical work that secretaries did.
    "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high-powered work and then men will want to do it again. "
    That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S..
    Once high technology has made the job secretary less routine, will there be a male takeover? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss’ wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.
A secretary in the future will______. (  )
选项 A、be better paid
B、have higher status
C、have less work to do
D、have more work to do
答案B
解析 判断题。文章第四段中说道：一旦“高科技”在办公室普及时，秘书的身份将会再次上升一个台阶．因为涉及的工作都是高管所做的工作了。到那时男性就会再次来与女性竞争这份工作。
