Read the following passage
and mark the letter A,B,C or D
on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 1 to 10.
Women in Families
Role reversal has not
really become popular. Couples who swap roles are still few
and far between. Is that because women are better at rearing children?
Or are men just afraid to resist tradition?
The
isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to
take care of his home and children for two and a half years.
The idea of swapping
roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is
still a relatively new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let
the newly liberated women make progress with her career while the New Man
stays at home and takes care of the house and children.
Now, 10
years or so later, it seems as if we were a little
premature. A recent report by the Family Policy Studies Center
concludes: "Despite important social changes, particularly
greater female employment, it is still women in families who
undertake the great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking
care of elderly relatives - The much hyped New Man remains a rare
species.’
Certainly some would
argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the natural
homemaker, while dad is the provider. Some men might give help with
shopping and cooking, but most would do little more. Some men even
believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity. Others,
like Andrew, want to stay at home-but with reservations. Andrew, who is now
about to return to work, says, "I don't know that I could have continued doing it
for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I do want to support my family and I do
want to work. I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen,
but it
proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a job I
really love. Continuing working has allowed me to fulfill my potential."
For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major
problem. Frank and
Joan Roberts found that they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to look after
Michael, five, while Joan continued with her career. Frank says,
"It is not socially acceptable where we live.
People here are reared to believe that the man goes out to work and woman
stays at home."
1: According to the passage, that couples who
change roles has been
...........................
|
a. still rare
|
b, very popular
|
c.
popular
|
d. not happened
|
2: Which of the following is TRUE according to
the passage?
a..Women
should not go out to work because they are better rearing children.
b..Men don't
want to change roles because they are traditionally weak.
c..Andrew
Timpson left teaching to take care of his home and children for two and a half year.
d. Fathers have
to stay at home to take care of their children because they are no longer the provider.
3: The Family Policy Studies Center concluded
that_______ .
a..at present, women still do most of the housework
b..many women
change their traditional roles, because there are many jobs created for them
c..the men stay at home to take
care of the house and children
d..a and c are correct
4: In the last paragraph, Frank and Joan
Roberts were confronted with strong
views because ...............
a..Frank went out
to work and Joan Roberts looked after her child
b..both of
them went out to work
c..Frank was
unable to look after his child
d..Frank left
his job to look after his child, while his wife went on with her
career.

the passage most nearly means________
a. improve b. make
better c. share d. change

best expression to replace the phrase “ fulfill
my potential” in the passage.
a. fulfill
myself b. improve
myself
c. improve my potential d. gain
success

b. men where
he lives are brought up to do the housework
c. it is very
common for women to go out to work where he lives
d. his
