There was a time when women were considered smart if they played dumb to get a man, and women who went to college were more interested in getting a "Mrs. Degree" than a bachelor’s. Even today, it’s not unusual for a woman to get whispered and uninvited counsel from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market. Despite the fact that more women than men now attend college, the idea that smart women finish last in love seems to hang on and on.
"There were so many misperceptions out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts," said economist Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen, Stevenson analyzed national marriage data from 1950 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared. "Marriage rates in the U.S. for college-educated women have risen enormously since the 1950s," Stevenson said. "In 1950, less than three quarters of white college-educated women went on to marry by age 40 (compared with 90 percent of high-school graduates). But today, 86 percent marry by age 40, compared with 88 percent of high-school graduates."
"In other words, the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small," said Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College and author of Marriage: A History. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts had the highest marriage rates (93 percent) in the 1950s, today college-educated women are much more likely to marry than those who don’t finish high school (86 percent versus 81 percent).
Of course, expectations have changed dramatically in the last half century. In the 1950s, men didn’t want a woman who was their equal; they needed and wanted someone who knew less, someone who looked up to them. And in fact 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates. "These days, few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements," Coontz said.
The new research has more good news for college graduates. Stevenson said the data indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely than other groups of women to be married at age 40, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to describe their marriages as "happy" compared with other women. The marriages of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser, Stevenson said.
Stephanie Coontz would most probably agree that ________.
选项
A、marriage rates varied greatly among women a few decades ago
B、college graduates feel no need to hide their strengths any more
C、education is still considered an obstacle to women’s marriage
D、the more education women receive, the easier they can get married
答案
A
解析
本题主要考查Stephanie Coontz的观点态度,第三、四、五段都提及了Stephanie Coontz。第三段首句提到,拥有大学学历的女性与没有大学学历的女性在结婚率方面的差距非常小。这是现在的情况,言外之意就是以前差距大,故A项正确。B项中的no need与第四段最后一句中的few women feel the need有出人,且文中指的是women,B项中的college graduates属于过度推断。C项“教育仍被认为是女性婚姻的障碍”与第三段首句提到的数据研究结果不符。虽然现在大学毕业生和高中毕业生的结婚率差不多,但并不代表结婚率随着学历的上升而上升,D项过度推断。
