"Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl."
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation(协调)process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers.
It is argued by some writers that the change to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation. On the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to
选项
A、explain why there are few books on the role of fathers.
B、praise mothers for their great contributions to the home.
C、criticize fathers for not taking enough responsibility in bringing up the children.
D、complain about the lack of social programs to help fathers in their role shift.
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可知,只有选项D能概括文章的写作目的。选项A只是文中第3段中的某个细节;选项B的重点是mother,与本文的论题不符;作者并无批评父亲之意,因此选项C不正确。
