问题                     Continuing Education Study Vs Female
                Occupation Horizontal and Achieve to Pass Importance
    Marilyn Mawn is a young Wall Streeter most leading dusiness schools would love to call their own. A Cornell graduate who enjoys the intensity of her 80-hr. weeks as an analyst at Bear Stearns in New York City, Mawn, 25, has three years of experience in the financial industry, a head for closing major deals—and absolutely no plans to go to business school.
    It’s not that she didn’t give it some serious thought. Mawn researched the best financial-real-estate programs, sent away for applications and took a prep ration course for the Graduate Management Admissions Test. But after seeking advice from senior woman executives in her company, inluding some with M. B. A. s, she decided to give up the degree.
    " I considered the opportunity cost," says Mawn, one of five professional women in an office of 50 people. She figured she would be giving up two years’ income and experience, spending an additional $ 100,000 on education and not gaining enough to justify it. "I realized I would probably get more out of two years of work," says Mawn. "I’ve also watched my older sisters juggle law careers and new babies, and I’d rather have the option of taking that kind of time off in five years."
    Whether female candidates for the top business schools are opting out because of a feeling, like Mawn’s that they are better off with the work experience, or because of family considerations or a dislike for the business-school climate or business in general—the fact is that they just aren’t going. Women account for only 29 % of those in the country’s top business schools, and it’s been that way since 1994.
    Not all business schools suffer form a dramatic gender gap, just the top tier. A survey of all accredited programs has women accunting for almost 40 % of graduates. "Women business leaders are tremendously important to our company. We market to moms," says Mary Kay Haben, an executive vice president a Kraft Foods. "We rely on the top business schools to help us find the women with a track record of success. "
    It was with this in mind that the University of Michigan, together with Catalyst, a nonprofit research and advisory organization that focuses on advancing women in business, teamed up to find out why talented women aren’t pursuing M. B. A. s. The study is still in the data-gathering stage, with results expected in early 2011.
What do Mary Kay Haben’s words mainly mean?
选项 A、Kraft Foods Company needs women staff with babies.
B、Kraft Foods Company doesn’t need male staff at all.
C、Kraft Foods Company needs women business leaders.
D、Kraft Foods Company only makes products for women.
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词Mary Kay Haben定位到文章第5段第2句：“Women business leadersare tremendously important to our company…”We rely on the top business schools to help usfind the women with a track record of success．说明女性领导人对她们公司很重要，而且市场是面向母亲们的，所以需要“找到有成功记录的女性”。因此可知，该Mary Kay Haben的主要意思是表明公司需要女性商业领导人。
