Today men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family, and work. No longer what goals they should pursue, much less how they should pursue them, many men have found themselves in a no-man’s land, searching for new meanings and definitions of maturity. In interviews I conducted with 138 men from diverse social and economic background. 36 percent defined their family and work commitments in terms of primary breadwinning, and 30 percent chose to eschew parenthood or to avoid involvement with children they had brought into the world.
However, about 33 percent had moved toward more rather than less family involvement over the course of their lives. These men develop an outlook on parenthood that included caretaking as well as economic support. They represent a growing group of fathers, most of whom arc married to work-committed women and have an egalitarian approach toward marriage and family commitments. Such men ,whom I call "involved fathers", are demonstrating a capacity, a willingness, and an enthusiasm for parenting not seen in their fathers’ and grandfathers’ generations.
An involved lather, however, is not necessarily an equal father. Though men’s domestic participation has increased in recent year, his involvement has not kept in pace with women’s rapidly rising commitment to paid employment. A persistent" housework gap" has left most women with more work and less leisure time than their male counterparts.
It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among men who support equality, their involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved toward a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema. One recent survey found that 73 percent of a group of randomly selected fathers agreed that "their families are the most important facet of their lives"; 87 percent agreed that "dad is as vital as mom in raising kids. "The cballenge is to create the social and cultural arrangements that would enable men to uphold these beliefs more easily.
Paragraph 1 implies that______.
选项
A、men are at loss to what roles they should play
B、men realize that they’ve got into a place that no one had been before
C、men want to change the meanings and definitions of adulthood
D、men meet with great pressure from the society
答案
A
解析
由题干可定位到第一段,第二句说今天的男人所面临的问题不再是他们应该追求什么目标,也不是他们应如何去追求,而是许多男人们仿佛进入无人地带(不确定的、含义含糊的领域),需要寻找成熟男人的新的意义和定义,因此选[A]男人们对担当何种角色不知所措。其它三个选项,[B]男人们意识到他们进入了一个以前没人涉足的地方,这是对no man’s land的曲解,[C]男人们想改变成熟男人的含义和定义,这是时代和社会的要求,并非男人们自身的愿望,[D]男人们面临来自社会的巨大压力,文中未提及。
