It’s easy to blame a backward-moving culture that’s hostile to women, but rapid transformation is also part of the story. Enjoying the freedoms of the new India, many of its citizens have left traditional village life, but they have not found a new set of ethics in urban areas. When the accused go unpunished or justice takes forever to be delivered, it makes rape a way of life for Indian men.
I am one of those Westerners amused by India’s rapid growth and expanding social mobility. I lived in New Delhi while reporting on the country from 2002 to 2007, when there were hundreds of documented incidents of sexual violence in the capital. Delhi accounted for one-quarter of all rapes recorded in India in 2011. When I lived there, Indian women regularly urged me to move elsewhere— anywhere!—calling Delhi "India’s rape capital" and telling me terrifying stories of how unsafe the city was.
Of course, most Delhi residents don’t have the option to leave, nor do they want to. The city’s population has swelled with migrants from India’s poor rural areas. For them, Delhi represents opportunity. About 350 million Indians now live in cities, and an additional 250 million are expected to move to urban areas in the next two decades. Call centers and the hospitality sector in the capital have created jobs for even the slightly educated, making the middle-class dream seem more attainable than ever. However, India’s rural migrants do not find the education and work opportunities they expect in cities. Poverty, low social status and gender still prevent many from advancing.
The parents of the 23-year-old rape victim, who died a week ago, had moved the family to a middle-class New Delhi neighborhood from a poor village. This family, having sold land to help send her to college, had placed hopes in her, who had urged her two younger brothers to follow her to college. Having recently qualified as a trainee physiotherapist in a private Delhi hospital, she landed herself in a solidly middle-class profession.
It makes sense that this attack happened in Delhi, which appears to welcome modern women who go to college and work outside the home. They are vulnerable to sexual harassment or violence. But the city is not nearly as open as advertised. Because it is filled with rural migrants who speak dozens of languages and represent every class and religion, the city seems conflicted about what is acceptable. [br] What we can learn about this rape victim is that she______.
选项
A、worked as a fitness coach
B、came from a middle-class family
C、was finally able to change her fate
D、had quite wealthy parents
答案
C
解析
第四段介绍这位受害者的家庭背景。她全家人曾生活在一个贫穷的村子里,出售土地后供她上大学,后来搬到新德里一个中产阶层居住的小区。她最终来到一家医院实习,成为理疗师,步人中产阶层的行列。a trainee physiotherapist的意义不是“健身教练”,而是“见习理疗师”。
