In most work success is measured by income,and while our capitalistic society,this is inevitable.It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply.The desire that men feel to increase their income is suite as much as desire for success as for the extra comfort that a higher income can procure.However dull work may be,it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle.Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run,and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men,or than women who work outside the home.The domestic wife does not receive wages,has no means of bettering herself,is taken for granted by her husband who sees practically nothing of what she does,and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; but such women are comparatively few,and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.

解答：

爲方便講解,把文章主要部分翻譯如下：
In most work success is measured by income,and while our capitalistic society,this is inevitable.
大部分工作中,成功是以收入衡量的,在金錢社會這種現象不可避免.It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply.
只有在涉及到「最好的工作」的情況下,這種標準的作用才減弱到讓人以平常心申請.The desire that men feel to increase their income is suite as much as desire for success as for the extra comfort that a higher income can procure.
男人們對增加自身收入的渴望只是成功後由高收入帶來的舒適生活的渴望的附庸.However dull work may be,it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle.
不管工作如何枯燥,若它可以爲在大至整個世界或小至社交圈的範圍內贏得聲譽,它就是可以忍受的.Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run,and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.
意志的專注是這個漫長過程中快樂的主要源泉,對多數男人而言主要來自他們的工作.In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men,or than women who work outside the home.The domestic wife does not receive wages,has no means of bettering herself,is taken for granted by her husband who sees practically nothing of what she does,and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make
beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors; 當然對那些把房間和花園都整理的很漂亮贏得鄰里的稱羨的女人這條不適用.but such women are comparatively few,and for the great majority housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds bring to men and to professional women.但是這樣的女人很少有,對絕大部分女人而言,家務不能給她們帶來像其他工作帶給男人和職業女性那樣的滿足.

現在我們來看給出的題目：
1,主要辨析value of work 以及 successs in work,我個人認爲選擇後者恰當一些,因爲畢竟開頭已經概括性地提示出來,success in work 多數以收入衡量,後面就例外的和更廣大意義的情況分析,而value of work在文中雖然也暗示到,即使得人們因爲意志的專注而得到快樂,但只是一個分支的材料性的概念.
2,選擇built up reputation,至於第一項A：think the work worth to do.比較含糊,究竟怎麼樣worth.文中已經說明了.
3,兩個選項一樣,不知道你有沒有打對.最終的快樂是生活的舒適.文中說工作收入增加的渴望只是由此導致的舒適生活的附屬品,可見舒適生活是更終極的快樂,而人們在過程中得以全身心投入,即contiuity of purpose,看起來是過程中的快樂.
4,d
5,b,得到鄰里稱羨的家庭婦女的家務活才能給他帶來滿足,其他大部分女人沒有得到鄰里的稱羨,滿足感要從其他途徑而不是家務上得到.
