Cherie Blair has attacked “yummy mummies” who focus on raising their children at the expense of their careers, suggesting their children lack a sense of independence. The wife of the then British Prime Minister also accused some young women of seeking to “marry a rich husband and retire” instead of working.

Mrs Blair, a QC and mother of four, criticized women who “put all their effort into their children” instead of working. Mothers who go out to work are setting a better example for their children, she said.

Some women regard motherhood as an acceptable alternative to a career. Instead, women should strive for both. “Every woman needs to be self-sufficient and in that way you really don’t have a choice-for your own satisfaction; you hear these yummy mummies talk about being the best possible mother and they put all their effort into their children. I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so actually they can live without me.”

The term “yummy mummy” is generally used to refer to a woman whose husband’s wealth allows her to devote herself full-time to her children and her appearance.

In fact, despite Mrs Blair’s worries about non-working mothers, official statistics show that the proportion of mothers who work has actually risen steadily in recent years. According to the Office for National Statistics, 66 percent of mothers are now in some form of paid work. In 1996, the figure was 61 percent. The number of working mothers is now around 5.3 million, up from 4.5 million in 1996.

Speaking to Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women event in Claridge’s, Mrs Blair appeared to accuse some young women of lacking professional ambition, focusing on their prospective partner’s career instead of their own. Mrs Blair said her view was informed by her own experience of her father abandoning her mother when she was a child. But she insisted that all women should make sure they can provide for themselves: “Even good men could have an accident or die and you’re left holding the baby.”

Often in the headlines during her husband’s premiership, Mrs Blair has taken a more active public role since he left office in 2007, setting up a charitable foundation to support women setting up their own firms in developing countries.

71. If some one is a yummy mummy, she is most likely to ________.

A. start her own company B. teach her children at home

C. stay at home to raise her children D. help her husband with his business

72. Mrs Blair might support the women who _________.

A. try to balance their work and their family life

73. We know from the passage that ________.

A. The number of working mothers has dropped since 1996.

B. Mrs. Blair worked even when her husband was Prime Minister

C. Most women in Britain would like to be yummy mommies.

C. Mrs Blair hasn’t appear much in public since her husband left office in 2007
