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, notions 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 the "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 reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of "Momism", but we don’t want to exchange it for a "neo-Popism". What we need, rather , is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit--nor all the blame. 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 cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problem.
Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.
With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
选项
A、A healthy, cooperative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.
B、Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.
C、Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.
D、A woman’s place is in the home--now as always.
答案
A
解析
从文章,尤其是从最后一段,可推断答案为A。选项B文中未提及。选项C与事实不符,现实生活中已经发生,因而才会有矫枉过正之嫌。选项D与文中事实不符,文中说,“We have almost given up saying a woman’s place is at home.”我们已基本放弃了这种说法。
