I long to that classification of people known as wives. I am a wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.
Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He bad one child, who is, of course, with his exwife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while. I was cooking one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, mended, replaced when need be and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. ! want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the washing up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.
If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife 1 already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life. My wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.
When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties.
My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?
The author’s style of writing in the passage is ______.
选项
A、instructive
B、informative
C、ironical
D、objective
答案
C
解析
从整篇文章的语气分析,作者是在讽刺那些想把妻子当成奴隶,要妻子为他们做这做那的人们,特别是倒数第三段第一句话的内容十分具有讽刺意味。这句话的意思是:“如果我有幸能够找到一个比我现在的妻子更适合做妻子的人,我就会冒昧地把我现在的妻子换掉,换上另外一个。”把将妻子不当人看待的人讽刺得淋漓尽致。故应选C
