Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She’s been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it’s unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it’s necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable baby-sitter who’s willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother and thinks it’s a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who’s not part of the family.
23. What was Barbara’s profession before she had children?
24. What does Barbara’s husband suggest she do if she wants to work?
25. What does Tom think about hiring a baby-sitter?
选项
A、Few baby-sitters can be considered trustworthy.
B、It will add to the family’s financial burden.
C、A baby-sitter is no replacement for a mother.
D、The children won’t get along with a baby-sitter.
答案
C
解析
短文结尾处提到,Tom认为一个保姆是无法替代母亲的,并且认为孩子不适合与不是家人的人在一起那么长时间。因此答案为C。注意结尾处常考,且本题符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的原则。原文提到replace a mother,C将其形式改变为replacement for a mother。A“很少保姆是可信赖的”、B“增加家庭财政负担”、D“孩子不会和保姆和睦相处”在原文均未提及。
