问题     There have been some attempts in the United States, Europe, Australia over the past decades to 【C1】______ governments to pay people for the housework they do. A U.S. organization 【C2】______ the Wages for Housework Campaign argued for many years 【C3】______ housework was boring and degrading because it was 【C4】______ , and that payment would improve the 【C5】______ or women in society overall. More recently they have argued 【C6】______ housewives to be included in the labor 【C7】______ and for unpaid housework to be included in the 【C8】______ of a nation’s wealth. They have argued that this would make housework more visible, and could possibly 【C9】______ to greater investment in programs to help women.
    So far, no government has seriously 【C10】______ paying people for housework. This is not surprising when you consider how difficult it would be to carry 【C11】______ such a scheme. The first problem would be to 【C12】______ how much people would be paid. In 1995 the United Nations 【C13】______ the annual value of women’s unpaid work at $11 trillion (万亿) 【C14】______ . An Australian government 【C15】______ in 1991 calculated that if someone was to be 【C16】______ to do all the housework in one home it would be 【C17】______ 400 Australian dollars a week.
    【C18】______ , there would be more problems to 【C19】______ . Would everyone get the same amount? Which tasks would and would not be paid for? How would the government know 【C20】______ the work was done? [br] 【C14】
