    When I read last week that Angela Ahrendts was getting up to $68m as a welcome gift forjoining Apple, my mind skipped at once to her husband. This latest addition to her vast stash ofmoney must catapult her spouse Gregg to the very top of the global my-wife-earns-more-than-meleague table.
    It is quite an achievement. I have no idea if the two of them like each other, but they havestuck it out for a long time. They met at school and he chucked his job to follow her to the UKwhen she became head of Burberry; he seems to have spent the last eight years mainly looking aftertheir three children, revamping their home and putting supper on the table for her when she finallystaggered in on her five-inch heels. I suspect the real genius of Ms Ahrendts lies less in the wayshe persuaded people to buy 22,000 raincoats with peacock feather trims than in persuadingGregg to marry her--and to stick with her ever since.
    It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner--in the US a quarter ofwives now earn more than their husbands--but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. A
    book published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just howhard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five timesas likely to be unfaithful as other husbands. The woman will probably do more than her share ofchores; though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking, he is likely to end upfeeling so unmanly. Either way, divorce beckons.

One friend complained that she no longer knew what her husband was for ashe neither made much money nor showed any desire to help out at home. Hardly surprisingly, hisversion of events was different: as she insisted on dominating both at work and at home, he'd beenleft un-manned and without a role.
    ! know of only two sets of good friends where the woman earns more and where the marriageseems solid. In one there are no children, so the two spend their spare time being nice to eachother. In the second, the man is so good at child-rearing and cooking while the woman is sohopeless around the house, so everyone seems happy.
    The majority of colleagues, even very young ones, still seem to be in relationships where theman makes more.

    What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

    C.Angela Ahrendts is an extraordinary woman.
    D.Gregg devotes himself to his family.

    题干指明将答案定位在第一、二段,文章前两段讲到,安吉拉·阿伦茨的收入远远多于她的丈夫,他们的婚姻却持续了很久,这让作者颇为惊讶。根据第二段末句“I suspect the real genius of Ms Ahrendts lies less…than in persuading Gregg to marry her—and to stick with her ever since”可推知,当妻子比丈夫收入高时将很难维持婚姻。

    A.The girl didn't want to respect men.
    B.The girl looked down on men who earned less than her.
    C.When she earns more than him, losing of self-esteem is a key factor leading to divorce.
    D.How to sustain a man's self-esteem is a kind of knowledge that is hard to grasp.

    答案:C
    解析:
    题干指明将答案定位在文章最后一段末句“One fiercely clever young male colleague says his equally clever feminist girlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn’t fancy a life spent propping up his ego.”(他同样聪明的女权主义女友曾经告诉他,她绝不可能跟一个挣得比自己少的男人结婚。因为她不愿把一辈子花在维护他的自尊心上。)由此可知,如果妻子比丈夫收入高,那么婚姻得以继续的保障便是“一辈子维护他的自尊心”,可见,自尊心的丧失是导致离婚的关键性因素,C项符合。
