大全-C-8 pink-collar & women

8. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
A primary factor in perpetuating the low salaries of women workers has been their segregation in the so-called pink-collar occupations, such as nursing, teaching, library science, and secretarial work. Partly because these jobs have traditionally been held by women, their salary levels have been depressed, and, despite increased attempts to unionize these workers in recent years, their pay continues to lag. Moreover, although a large percentage of women than ever before are now entering and remaining in the job market, most continue to gravitate toward the pink-collar fields, despite the lower salaries. It seems clear, therefore, that if the average salaries of women workers are to approach those of men, ______
(A) labor unions must redouble their efforts to improve the lot of working women
(B) society’s perception of pink-collar jobs as less important and less demanding than other jobs must be changed(C) more men must be encouraged to enter fields traditionally occupied by women
(D) the number of jobs in the pink-collar fields relative to the size of the work force as a whole must be markedly increased
(E) more women must enter occupations other than those traditionally reserved for them

答案E。

但B也仿佛不无道理。因为题中提到了Partly because these jobs have traditionally been held by women, their salary levels have been depressed。为什么排除B，还是说B不如E直接和更优？

这道题目我虽然选了E，但是感觉C也可以让women salary approach that of men。让更多的男人做女人的工作，男人的平均工资低了，女人的平均工资自然和他们接近了。。。

姐妹们不要打我啊，我也想女性多赚钱，这只是分析题目哦，大家赚钱^_^

我的分析是，莫非这里说的women's salary to approach that of men，暗指只能女人的工资发生变化？？？

请教NN了

我觉得能想到C的人真是具有发散性思维，我仔细考虑了一下，男人如果进入护士等女性传统行业抢饭碗的话，应该竞争导致的这些传统行业的工资降低水平 会大于 这几个男性的工资降低而对男性整体工资水平的拖累的水平吧，或者需要结合实际情况计算具体的数值。
