问题     Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop.Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can-go-to the laundry, food can be bought cooked,canned, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the workers’ canteen, and the school dining-room.
    It is unusual now for father to pursue(追求) his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation(职业), and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile(纺织品的) areas it has long been a custom for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child’ s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last 25 years. With mother earning and older children drawing much salaries father is seldom the controlling figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’ s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.
It is implied in the passage that______.
选项 A、mothers have the practice to go to work
B、working mother have no time to stay with their children at home
C、young wage-earners are economically independent
D、mother’s position in a family has been raised
答案D
解析 从文章第二段结尾一句“When motherworks，economic advantages increase，but childrenlose something of great value if…”可知，由于母亲挣钱，经济优势有了提高。在家里父亲不再是惟一说算的人。由此可推断出，母亲在家庭中的地位得到了提高。故正确的答案为D。
