单选题 Why do some people feel that husbands should pay their wives for their housework?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】判断题。根据文章第一段第三句话“In a l986 study at Cornell University,it was found that the value of services of a housewife averaged $ 11,600 a year”,得知Cornell大学的研究发现:妻子在家中的服务同样创造价值,大约每年是11600美元。再者,根据本段的第五句话“The $ 11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife's household work”,如果丈夫再雇佣别人来代替妻子作这些家务活,他每年得支付11600美元。这就是妻子应得报酬的原因。所以本题选C)。
