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.
【C6】
选项
A、goes
B、drops
C、boils
D、closes
答案
C
解析
表语从句的主语是much of the explanation,宾语是two reasons:marriage and children。后者是对前者的具体体现,因此所填动词和down to搭配后应能体现出前者与后者的关系,boil down to有“归结为……”之意,符合此处的语境,故选C项。
