问题    Most women in Ghana—the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old—work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.
   Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.
   Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.
   Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.  [br] The author of this article probably agrees that women in Ghana should______.
选项 A、stay at home and focus on family life
B、become as active as men in business
C、try to maintain their original roles
D、make a choice and stick to one role
答案 C
解析 主旨概括题。文章在开头两段就说到了加纳能够自力更生的女性是受到人们尊敬的，而完全依靠丈夫养家的则被看不起，所以作者也是尊敬这些工作的女性的。而且最后一段还提到政府也在采取措施来使得女性能继续在家庭和社会经济中扮演多重身份，所以本题答案选C。
