Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
As working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receiving pay – checks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her service? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, sociologists found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $ 11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $ 11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife’s household chores. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to federal guidelines for minimum wages.
Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes, with their employers contributing part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, “ If you stay at home and raise a family, nobody will give you credit for it.”
What is NOT true about the passage?
A. Full-time housewives are allowed to pay social security taxes.
B. Women who go to work get more offers than housewives.
C. Unlike working women, housewives get no pay for housework.
D. Housewives’services should be rewarded.
Đáp án A
Ý nào là KHÔNG đúng theo như đoạn văn?
A. Phụ nữ làm việc toàn thời gian được phép nộp thuế an sinh xã hội.
B. Phụ nữ đi làm nhận được nhiều lời đề nghị hơn các bà nội trợ.
C. Không giống như những phụ nữ đi làm, các bà nội trợ không được trả lương cho công việc nhà.
D. Sự phục vụ của những người nội trợ nên được khen thưởng.
Giải thích: Ý A chỉ ở mức kế hoạch chứ chưa phải là thực tế của bài.
