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.
If I think of my many female friends who have out-earned their husbands, a suspiciously largenumber are divorced. 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. One fiercely clever young male colleague says his equally clever feministgirlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn't fancy a lifespent propping up his ego.
Which of the following is not the problem when the wife earns more than her husband?

选项
A.The man may be more likely to be unfaithful than other husbands.
B.The woman will probably do more than her share of housework.
C.The man will feel that he is badly in need of manliness.
D.The wife may look down on her husband.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的the problem when the wife earns more than her husband可定位至第三段“how hard it is:high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband,and when they do,he is five times as likely to be unfaithful as other husbands.The woman will probably do more than her share of chores;though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking,he is likely to end up feeling so unmanly.”由此可知,A、B、C都正确,而D项“女人会看不起比自己收入低的丈夫”,文章中并没有提到这一点。
