2019-2020年中考英语阅读理解训练：14阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I cant understand why her answer to the question, “What do you do?”, is always, “Oh, Im just a housewife.” JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in preparing meals, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, playing the part of a taxi driver to us kids when its time for school, music lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife. She s the real Wonder Woman. Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar? Where has this notion(观念) e from? Have we males(男性) made them feel this way? Has our society made “going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be very curious(好奇的) to see what would happen if a housewife stopped working. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. The house would be filled with rubbish. Walking and bus riding would increase. Charities would be in great need of help. I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over(接手). Oh, he might think that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to e home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more ing home to a prepared meal; hed have to fix it himself. The kids would all be crying for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he made the kids quiet, hed have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl(爬行) into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper. No, I dont think many males are going to volunteer for the job. I know I dont want it. So, thanks, mom! Ill do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives. It might be called Wonder Woman Day.81. How do the children in the writers family go to school?
