6. Patrick usually provides child care for six children. Parents leave their children at Patrick’s house in the morning
and pick them up after work. At the end of each workweek, the parents pay Patrick at an hourly rate for the child
care provided that week. The weekly income Patrick receives is usually adequate but not always uniform,
particularly in the winter, when children are likely to get sick and be unpredictably absent.
Which of the following plans, if put into effect, has the best prospect of making Patrick’s weekly income both
uniform and adequate?
(A) Pool resources with a neighbor who provides child care under similar arrangements, so that the two of
them cooperate in caring for twice as many children as Patrick currently does.
(B) Replace payment by actual hours of child care provided with a fixed weekly fee based upon the number of
hours of child care that Patrick would typically be expected to provide.
(C) Hire a full-time helper and invest in facilities for providing child care to sick children.
(D) Increase the hourly rate to a level that would provide adequate income even in a week when half of the
children Patrick usually cares for are absent.
(E) Increase the number of hours made available for child care each day, so that parents can leave their
children in Patrick’s care for a longer period each day at the current hourly rate.
答案是B，不过没怎么看懂啊，哪里说明uniform了，求NN指点~

其实我觉得逻辑就是要看懂题目和选项就好了，这个可能要积累。我也在积累。废话不多说了。下面开始
文章：P通常照看6个孩子。那些被照看孩子的家长们，经常早上把孩子送去P家，然后晚上去接回来。然后每周周末，家长们会固定的支付相关的照看费用。每周的照看费用常常是很多但是却不固定，尤其在冬天，因为孩子们会因为生病或者其他未料及的其他原因不来P家。
问：下面哪个选项计划，如果被实际运用，将使P的照看费用既多又固定。
1：与照顾其他孩子的邻居共享照看孩子的资源，那么2个人会协同照顾是现在2倍的孩子（仍然有孩子肯能生病或者其他原因不来，所以不能固定费用）
2：用按照实际照顾小孩每小时收费的策略变成P会提供多少小时的照看而收钱（其实就是以前是按照实际工作的时间收钱，那么收到的钱可变，现在是我又多少时间先卖给你，管你来不来，都是这些钱,那么钱有固定又多）
3：再找一个助手且投资设备，来照顾那些来的且生病的小孩（那么不来的小孩仍然不来，没有用啊）
4：提高每小时的收费标准，从而使即使只有一般的孩子来被照看，仍然会有很多钱（但是不能保证收费固定，打个比方，例子1，我有一个小孩来，例子2，我有3个小孩子，总的收的费用不同,不固定）
5：增加自己的工作时间，从而使家长们在现有的收费情况下能让孩子被照看的时间更长（依然没有解决文中的孩子不来而造成的总的费用不固定的问题）
