Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works’ canteen, and the school dining room.
It is unusual now for father to continue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant (支配的) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school. [br] The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is______.
选项
A、that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work
B、that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more
C、that there is a wide choice of employment for children
D、that children also like to have jobs outside
答案
C
解析
文中第二段第二句说:“男孩因此很少为了继承父亲的职业而接受训练,因为在许多城镇他们有相当广泛的职业选择。对于女孩子也同样如此。”因此选项C正确。
