问题     In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, concepts of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by "battle of the sexes".
    If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important and — that has happened in some cases — we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.
    It is time to re-estimate the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of "Monism"(一元论), but we don’t want to exchange it for a " New-Monism". What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychologists, social workers, and specialists in family are becoming more aware of the part men play. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise(企业)for which it is difficult to lay down rules because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.
    Excessive authority has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is relative not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.
According to the author, the father’s role in the home is______.

选项 A、irrelevant to the healthy development of the child
B、relative to the healthy development of the child
C、identical to the role of the child’s mother
D、impossible to determine

答案C

解析 本题为深层推理题,提问的是作者认为父亲在家中的角色是什么。作者在第一段和第三段分别指出“The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and thisin turn leads to further sharing”及“What we need,rather,is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals”。由此推断,A)和D)的观点错误;B)的表达不准确。所以答案为C)。
