Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and moth-ers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance ,and hard work is well known and well deserved.
Most of Ghana´s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.
Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grand-mothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew,older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.
Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.
What is the role of most women in Ghana?
A.Handling various housework at home.
B.Taking care of children indoors.
C.Farming and trading out of house.
D.Working as well as maintaining families.
参考答案
D
答案解析
【参考译文】
加纳的女性,无论是受过教育的还是文盲,城市的或者农村的,年轻的或者年老的,除开继续担任她们作为家庭妇女和母亲的角色外,还靠自己的工作赚得一份收入。她们因为经济独立、自力更生、工作努力而赢得盛名,并受到人们的尊敬。
大多数加纳有工作的女性都是农民或商人,只有五分之一,甚至更少的女性仅仅只是家庭妇女,但她们也靠缝补、烘烤或者做食物出去卖来赚钱。她们还打理菜园和养鸡场。的确,完全依靠丈夫来养家的女性是不被赞同,并被人看不起的。
依照传统,母亲的各项工作是大家共同分担的。母亲、姊妹、祖母以及侄女们都会帮忙养育孩子和分担日常工作。当家庭规模变大的时候,哥哥姐姐就会帮忙照顾年幼的孩子们,并且在家里帮忙做家务。现在很多孩子都上学去了,家里的人也有很多分家离开了传统的家庭,妈妈们不仅要继续工作赚钱,还要承担起所有繁重、耗时的家务。
现在,加纳正在寻求新的方法来满足女性和她们家庭的要求,比如提供更多的日托中心,这样女性才能继续在家庭和社会经济中扮演她们的多重身份。
