Mrs.Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work.She had lived in a very small flat,and there had been no room for a piano.But when she married,she had a new flat which was big enough for one.So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her.She saved some money,and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday.Then she went to a shop and said,"l'll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room."
When she had paid for the piano,the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned（调音）every few months.Mrs.Peters agreed.
A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning.Now she had not cleaned the house yet,so it was dusty and untidy.Mrs.Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt,and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that.So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully.It meant a lot of effort,and it made her hot and tired,but anyhow,by the time the man arrived,everything was finished.
She opened the door,and the man was standing with his big dog."Good morning,"the man said politely,"Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in,please? I' m blind,and he leads me wherever I go."
Mrs.Peters had wasted her time getting everything clean as____.（ ）

Women earn less than men do.For example,in1998 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 26% less than those of men.The gap between male and female incomes varies with age.The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies.It's also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less.The larger the number of workers who are women in an industry,the lower the average wages.
Why do women earn less than men do? Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked down upon?If so,the government has to intervene（干预）,to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs.However,there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap.One view argues that women on the average,have chosen Iow-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force,which reduces their years of experience relative to men.Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.
Much of the gap,however,has not been fully explained.It might be the result of some prejudice（偏见）against women.It is this part that has produced calls for government action.What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline（下降）.An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded,resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines.The result will be a surplus（过剩）of labor.Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.
What would happen if women’s wages were raised?（ ）
