It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner—in the US a quarter of wives now earn more than their husbands—but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. A book published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just how hard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five times as likely to be unfaithful as other husbands. The woman will probably do more than her share of chores; though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking, he is likely to end his marriage. Either way, divorce beckons.
The majority of people, even very young couples, still seem to be in relationships where the man makes more. One fiercely clever young man says his equally clever feminist girlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn’ t fancy a life spent propping up his ego.
One male colleague says his wife’ s habit of making a lot was a godsend for him as he loves money but is too lazy to make much himself. More commonly it comes when the man’ s professional ego is not measured in money. Various men at the FT(Financial Times)have wives earning a fortune in the city, freeing them to be relatively poorly paid hacks. Within the marriage there is the understanding that his career matters as much—if not more—than hers. In the same way, some female journalists support men who are musicians and designers, who love what they do, and(in the best cases)are also happy to take the lead in bringing up the children.
The most interesting cases are when both started together in a similar industry but over the years the woman has overtaken the man. Most of these seem to end badly. But one successful male journalist explained how he had overcome the problem of having an even more successful wife. "It’s the Piketty debate, isn’t it? What matters most—inequality, or overall living standards?" In the interests of the latter, he has wisely refused to feel any resentment and instead declares himself utterly proud of his wife.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、today it’ s still hard for a man to accept a successful wife
B、today the equality between couples is still important
C、women are more open-minded in the marriage bonds
D、the ego of men is stronger than women’ s
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词定位到全文。全文共有四段:第一段引出话题,妻子的收入比丈夫高时,夫妻关系很难维持;第二段承上启下,指出即使年轻夫妇,也难以接受女方比男方收人高;第三段阐述在男方的职业自尊心不以金钱衡量时,这种婚姻关系或许可以长久.最后一段,作者给出了在收入方面“女强男弱”的夫妻该如何维持婚姻。综合全文,不难发现A项“目前,男士仍然是难以接受比自己成功的妻子”符合题意,为正确答案。B项“夫妻间的平等仍然是重要的”和C项“女士在夫妻关系中更加开明”属于无中生有,故排除。D项“男人的自尊比女人强”是对第二段最后一句的过度推断,故排除。
