问题     For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.
    Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看不孩的人) , transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.
    Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.
    There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned(被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.
    From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had al lowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.
Which word in the first two paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?
选项
答案Survive．/Economics．/Money
解析 本文讲的是妇女外出工作的利弊。作者根据自己的经验，指出妇女做出外出工作的决定有时过于匆忙。过分地期待事业成功，却没有看到妇女呆在家里会得到更多。头两段说对于很多妇女来说，决定是否上班是一种奢侈，因为她们只有上班才能生存(survive)。后面又提到“economics”和 “money”，都是妇女必须工作的原因。
