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.
In the second paragraph, the author______.

选项 A、criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B、excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father
C、supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D、complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father

答案A

解析 第一段第三句指出有些父亲对孩子并不是特别关心。第二段提到,孩子出生后,从丈夫转变成父亲的角色的确很难,关于如何成为一个好父亲的书也很少,所以父亲在养育孩子方面承担的责任很少。B、C第二段并未提及。作者只是提出社会上关于“to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father”的教育很少,但并无抱怨之意,故排除D。
