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, when are people not concerned with the money they get from work?
选项 A、When they think the work is well worth doing.
B、When they have procured a high income.
C、When they have built up a reputation.
D、When their work keeps them fully occupied.
答案A
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问什么时候人们不在意自己从工作中所获得的报酬的多少。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的第一句话和第二句话中找到相关信息。这两句话指出，在大多数情况下，工作的成功与否是以收入来论定的，只要我们还存在着有资本主义特性的社会，这一点都是不可避免的。只有工作处于最佳状况时，这种论定方法才不会成为一种自然使用的方法。由此我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是A“当他们认为工作值得做的时候”，即当他们的工作可以使他们处于最佳状况时。
