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] It is implied in this passage that______.
选项
A、mothers have the practice to go to work
B、working mothers have no time to stay with their children at home
C、young wage-earners are economically independent
D、mother’s position in a family has been raised
答案
D
解析
本题是一道推断题。文中第一段讲的是今天的家庭不再像过去那样是生产食品和日常用品的工厂了,许多家用物品和每日常用食品都可以直接购买到;第二段讲的是已婚妇女和年长子女现在都能挣得工资,因此父亲在家中的支配地位已下降。由此我们可以分析出,父亲过去在家中之所以处于支配地位,是因为母亲和子女没有工作,也就没有经济来源,要靠父亲来养活,因而母亲在家中地位就处于从属位置,大部分时间是干繁重的家务劳动。随着社会的发展,许多家务劳动已由社会承担,母亲和年长子女的就业机会也增多了,他们都能靠工资养活自己,因而母亲在家中的地位必然上升。所以选项D正确。当然,本题也可通过排除法找到答案。文中第二段第四句说:“在生产纺织品的地区母亲出去工作已成习惯,而这种实际情况是如此的普遍,以至于现在一个有小孩的家庭里有一个工作的母亲都是一件非常正常的事……”。由此选项A在文章中已明确提到,可排除;文中最后一句说:“当母亲出去工作时,经济优势增加了;但如果母亲的工作妨碍了她在家里迎候孩子们放学回来,那么孩子们会失去最有价值的东西。”由此选项B在文中已提及,可排除;文中第二段第三句说:“年轻的工薪者时常挣得很多钱,因此不久就会获得独立的感觉。”由此选项C可排除。排除不了的只有选项D,是文章中暗示但未直接提及的内容。
