As working women continue to receive better and better wages, house wives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her services? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, it was found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $ 11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family com posed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife’s household work. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to government guidelines(方针)for least amounts of wages.
Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by Dr. Johnson, a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes(社会保障金) ,with their employers (that is ,their husbands) offering part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, "If you work in a store you can qualify for Social Security, but if you stay at home and raise a family, you can’t qualify for it." [br] The expression "full-time housewives" in paragraph 2 means ______.
选项
A、wives who can’ t do any housework
B、wives who don’ t like to stay at home
C、wives staying at home doing housework
D、wives working outside home sometimes
答案
C
解析
语义题。该题考查学生理解特定表达方式的意思的能力。“full-time”意为:全职的。由此可知:“full—time housewife”指完全呆在家里作家务的妇女,即为全职太太。由此可知本题选C 。
