Men, these days, are embracing fatherhood with the round-the-clock involvement their partners have always dreamed of -- handing night feedings, packing lunches and bandaging knees. But unlike women, many find they’re negotiating their new roles with little support or information. "Men in my generation (aged 25-40) have a fear of becoming dads because we have no role models," says Jon Smith, a writer. They often find themselves excluded from mothers’ support networks, and are eyed warily (警觉地) on the playground.
The challenge is particularly evident in the work-place. There, men are still expected to be breadwinners climbing the corporate ladder; traditionally-minded bosses are often unsympathetic to family needs. In Denmark most new fathers only take two weeks of paternity leave (父亲的陪产假) -- even though they are allowed 34 days. As much as if not more so than women, fathers struggle to be taken seriously when they request flexible arrangements.
Though Wilfried-Fritz Maring, 54, a data-bank and Internet specialist with German firm FIZ Karlsruhe, feels that the time he spends with his daughter outweighs any disadvantages, he admits, "With my decision to work from home I dismissed any opportunity for promotion."
Mind-sets (思维定势) are changing gradually. When Mating had a daughter, the company equipped him with a home office and allowed him to choose a job that could be performed from there. Danish telecom company TDC initiated an internal campaign last year to encourage dads to take paternity leave: 97 percent now do. "When an employee goes on paternity leave and is with his kids, he gets a new kind of training: in how to keep cool under stress," says spokesperson Christine Elberg Holm. For a new generation of dads, kids may come before the company -- but it’s a shift that benefits both.
选项
答案
mothers’ support networks
解析
本题问“与女性不同,男性从哪方面获得的支持成信息较少。”本题相关部分在第一段后半部分,提到“But un- like women,many find they’re negotiating their new roles with little support or information... They often find them- selves excluded from mothers’ support networks,and are eyed warily (警觉地)on the playground.”(然而与女性不同的是,很多男性发现自己在适应新角色的过程中,得到的支持和信息较少,显得孤立无援。…他们经常被排斥在母亲支持者之外,在运动场上招来警觉的目光。)因此,答案为mothers’ support networks。
