问题     " 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 father. 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 resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
    It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’ s role, although difficult, is not nearly as the transition the wife must make 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.
It is stated in the passage that______.

选项 A、some parents are not prepared to have a child
B、young couples do not like children at all
C、working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D、many parents look forward to having a. boy as their first child

答案A

解析 从第一段最后一句可看出,对于有些夫妇,怀孕只是一个意外,夫妻是在情愿或不情愿的情况下接受怀孕事实的。可见,有的父母是并不准备要孩子的。A项正确。
