问题     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 their parents did and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by 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 problems.
    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.
The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and father is that______.
选项 A、the role of the father may become an inferior one
B、the children will grow up believing that life is a battle of the sexes
C、sharing leads to masculine women and effeminate men
D、the father becomes physically worn out
答案A
解析 该题针对第一、二段内容命题，属事实细节考查类题目。此类题目的正确答案一般是根据题干在原文定位的句子或句子的上下旬来查找。根据文章第一段第二句和第二段夫妻双方共同承担家庭责任，共同做出决策的家庭模式，使得夫妻有了平等地位的条件，但这种模式一旦推行过了头，男人的作用就会被看得不那么重要了，故正确答案为选项[A]。
