The truth is that in courtship society gives women the real power while pretending to give it to men.What does seem clear is that the more men and women are together, at work and away from it, the mor
9、e the comprehensive amorousness of men towards women will have to go, despite all its past evolutionary services. For it is this that makes inferiority at work abrasive and, more indirectly, makes domestic work seem unmanly, if there is to be an equalizing redistribution of economic and domestic tas
10、ks between men and women there must be a compensating redistribution of the erotic initiative.

16、较的工作，拒绝粗鲁地纯粹以金钱来衡量成功，女性更为成功这个残酷的事实就可能被巧妙的遮掩”，从这句话可知，如果妻子比丈夫更成功，只要丈夫和妻子没有从事相同或者能够比较的工作，那么女性可以淡化自己的成就。所以B项“淡化她的成功，让它听起来不重要”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“和她的丈夫做同样的工作”，根据解题思路可知，原文建议妻子和丈夫不要做同样的工作，该项反向干扰；C项“强调家庭从她的高薪中得到了多少”表述与原文相反，原文是遮掩妻子成功的事实，该选项反而强调了她的成功，反向干扰；D项“将更多省力的机器引入家庭”，原文未提及省力机器，无中生有。第2题:2.【选项释义】2.
