参考答案B

解析:Mothers are increasingly fed up with jobs that do not allow them to spend enough time with their children. So instead, they are starting their own business. The number of women working for themselves has increased by nearly 20% since 2000, according to official figures, and now tops a mil-lion. And an opinion poll commissioned by the government shows that the most significant factor in the increase is a desire among women for a better balance between work and family life. The biggest motivation for doing it alone--according to 70% of those polled--was to be able to work more flexibly. Three out of four said that their work and family life balance was better when they ran their own business.

单选题根据下面资料，回答题
Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mis-takes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people.
"Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?And why didn´t Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it´s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we don´t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You´re a lucky dog" that´s being friendly.
But "lucky dog"? There´s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn´t see it himself. But bring-ing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn´t think you de-serve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and rains another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn´t important. It´s tell-ing you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven´t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone´s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think, The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
This passage is mainly about__________．

A．how to interpret what people say
B．what to do when you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D．why we go wrong with people sometimes
