What is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain?
Many mothers in Britain have to juggle their work and home life.
Father leaves home for work in the morning after breakfast. The two children take the bus to school, and mother slays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening. This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain. But is it true today? The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structure of families in Britain. The biggest change has been caused by divorce. As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce, leading to a situation where children live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or holidays.
There has also been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work. The large rise in divorces has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities, though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas. In addition, women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, the traditional breadwinner.
There has also been a sharp increase in the number of single mothers, particularly among teenagers. Some people have blamed this increase for the rise in crime. They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society. However, these changes have not had a totally negative effect. For women, it is now much easier to have a career and good salary.
选项
A、Mothers with children have to go out to work.
B、Mothers are in charge of cooking and cleaning at home.
C、Fathers read newspapers in the morning at home.
D、Fathers earn much more than their wives.
答案
B
解析
谈话在首段就有对传统英国幸福家庭模式的描绘,如受现代女性意识的影响,则容易误选。听者若将自己原有的常识和听到的内容混为一谈时也容易误选。
