问题     In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is suited as much as desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can obtain.  However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.
    In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home. The domestic wife does not receive wages, as no means of bettering herself, is taken for granted by her husband(who sees practically nothing of what she does), and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities. Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently rich to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors. But such women are comparatively few, and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women. [br] According to the passage, when are people NOT concerned with the money they get from work?
选项 A、When they think the work is well worth doing.
B、When they have obtained a high income.
C、When they have built up a reputation.
D、When their work keeps them fully occupied.
答案 A
解析 细节题。文章第一段中第二句意为“只有在工作处于最佳状态时，这种方法才不被自然地使用”。
