Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge (剧增) of women in the work force may
portend
a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse (反面) of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi—paycheck house—hold could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now. however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy rebounds, the number of marriages also rises.
The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause - and - effect conclusions. The impact of a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非 的) . Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability.
Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.
Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.
It is said in the passage that when the economy slides_____.
选项
A、men would choose working women as their marriage partners
B、more women would get married to seek financial security
C、even working women would worry about their marriages
D、more people would prefer to remain single for the time heing
答案
D
解析
细节题。题干的the economy slides等于原文的economic downturns.文中提到经济低迷时期人们倾向推迟婚姻,因为双方不能承担一个家庭或者担心更窘迫的日子。D符合原文意思。
