问题     Leisure plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.
    First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new technology in industry. The normal British working week is from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, although some people regularly work a few hours’ overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks’ paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
    Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
    Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other laborsav-ing gadgets, or appliances.
All the following ideas are suggested in the passage except that______.
选项 A、some married women have more time for reading
B、some married women have interesting hobbies
C、some married women go out to work
D、some married women stay at home
答案A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第三句话可知，很多已婚妇女出去工作，C项正确；由第五句话可知，很多已婚妇女待在家里，她们有很多有趣的兴趣爱好，B、D两项正确；A项在文中没有提及。所以答案为A。
