题文
Modern society cannot well do without the contribution that women can make in the professions and other kinds of work. There is a serious shortage of nurses and teachers, to mention only two of the occupations followed by women. It is a waste to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service would be more widely useful. Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work.We can see then that there are good reasons for regarding it as desirable that married women should have some occupation outside the home. However, there are serious objections. Schools do not keep children occupied the whole day and school holidays are long. The mother’s working day will almost certainly end well after the school day and her holiday will not begin at the same time as her children’s. There will be therefore a period when children are not taken care of unless a substitute for the mother can be found, or unless it becomes more generally possible for women to work part-time. There seem to be some grounds for believing that there is more bad behavior among the children of working mothers than among those of mothers who stay at home, but more evidence is required before we can be certain of this. What we can be certain of, however, is that many more will continue to do so.

解析
本文讲述了已婚妇女尤其是妈妈在外工作对社会和家庭带来的影响。小题1:B细节理解题。从第一段It is a waste to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession．可以看出，作者认为受过大量教育的妇女只工作一两年就呆在家里带孩子是一种浪费。
小题2:C细节理解题。从第二段．．．unless it becomes more generally possible for women to work part．time．一句可以看出作者认为解决母亲上班和照看孩子这两者矛盾的一个可行性办法是让这些妇女部分时间工作。
小题3:C 句意理解题。因为unless="if" not，所以if从句里应用否定式，substitute意为“替代者”，即替母亲照看孩子的人，所以正确答案选C。
小题4:A 细节推断题。从第二段There seem to be some grounds for believing that there is more bad behavior among the children of working mothers than among those of mother8 who stay at home一句看，作者认为似乎有理由相信母亲上班的孩子的不良习惯比那些母亲不上班的孩子的不良习惯要多，由此反推，母亲不上班的孩子比那些母亲上班的孩子的不良习惯要少，即选项A。
