问题 The small number of newborn babies, which .has been caused by high price and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, "DINKS", which means Double Income No Kids.　　In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $ 900 a month. What's more, if they want to have a child, the child's education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5,000 a year. In such a situation, it's difficult to afford children.　　The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their job for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to gave up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.　　In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?（　　）A． It is easy for a couple to afford a child in AsiaB． The prices of houses in Asia are quite low nowC． Fewer and fewer married women want to have a jobD． The word “DINKS” first appeared in an Asian country
