The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan — "DINKS", which means Double Income No Kids.
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $300,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What’s more, if they want to have a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.
In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What do we learn from the passage?
33. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?
34. What does the speaker seem to believe that Asian governments should do?
35. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?
选项
A、$900.
B、$5,000.
C、$10,800.00
D、$15,800.00
答案
D
解析
本题考查数字。短文中提到,一套一室一厅的房子每月要花900美元,一年共花10,800美元,如果要送孩子上幼儿园,每年最少要花5,000美元,两项加起来每年要花15,800美元,故答案为D)。
