After years of trying to balance work with motherhood, Karl Smith left her corporate(公司的) job behind to start her own business.

It's been over a decade since this mom entrepreneur(企业家) began making cakes out of her family's kitchen. During that time, she has managed to grow Magical Moments & Elite Party Rentals into a well­developed wedding planning and rental operation. Statistics show that these kinds of mommy­owned businesses are on the rise. Many women say they can't find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home.

Indeed, according to a national study conducted by IpsosReid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, fifty­four percent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family is a key reason to leave the corporate world behind.

“Being a mom entrepreneur means trading a typical 9­to­5 work week for a more irregular routine”,says Gemma Moore, a busy mother of two who owns and operates MG Moore Designs, a design company specializing in website, photography and print media.“Finding a business that you can build in the evenings will allow you to spend time with your children during the day and continue your business after they go to school.”

Ninety­two percent of female small business owners say that mobile equipment and computer software can help a mom entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, ninety­five percent agree that small business owners need to be_more_technology­savvy than ever before. The more technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses.

“Balance is a key aspect for most entrepreneurs, but this is especially true for women”, says Ruth Bastedo, President of Women Entrepreneurs of Canada(WEC). “Entrepreneurs recognize that today's technology can help them to find work/life balance while still providing them with the tools and materials they need to grow their businesses more effectively.”

16.Many female employees left their corporate jobs in order to________.

A.master more and more technology

B.support their family in a better way

C.look after their children more carefully

A.save more hours for technology

B.spend less money on technology

C.have a better knowledge of technology

D.find a better balance in the technical field
