It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional (情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

　　Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

　　The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never­ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

　　语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。在英国，按劳动量、劳动时间计算，一位母亲一年应该获得的收入应该比首相还多。母亲所作的牺牲很大，但也非常值得。

　　1．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

　　A. $30,000.

　　B. $142,000.

　　C. $172,000.

　　D. $202,000.

　　答案与解析　B　考查细节理解。由第二段中的“they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year”和第三段中的“This would make their yearly income ￡ 30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns”可知，首相一年的收入为￡172, 000－￡30, 000＝￡142,000。

　　2．The biggest challenge for most mothers is from ________.

　　A. emotional demand
