[单项选择]Passage Three In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of "pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always identical. Women often are told "You can’t have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You have a wonderful husband and children-what’s all this about wanting a career " But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem(自尊), a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the "doing" side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the "feeling" side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman c A. for women, a sense of "mastery " is more important than a sense of "pleasure" B. for women, a sense of "pleasure" is more important than a sense of "mastery" C. women can’t have a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" at the same time D. a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" are both indispensable to women
