问题     In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure (获得, 取得). However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domestic wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband (who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; but such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.
According to the passage, housework often brings satisfaction to women______.
选项 A、who are very rich
B、who envy their neighbors
C、who work outside the home
D、who are dependent on their husbands
答案A
解析 本题问按照文章所讲的内容，家务活通常给哪些妇女会带来满足感。根据文章的最后一句话，当然，这里所指的(即所做的家务活不会受到丈夫重视的)不是那些十分富有的妇女，这些有钱的妇女有漂亮的住宅、美丽的花园，是邻居们羡慕的对象。但是，这种妇女相对很少。对大多数妇女来说，家务活不能像其他工作给男人和职业妇女们带来满足那样也给她们带来满足。由此，我们可以找出本题的正确答案A“家务活会给那些非常富有的妇女带来满足感”。
