问题     In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money. Most men worked. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes and did other housework.
    In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.
    There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to to stay single. They may choose to work or to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.
    A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.
The passage is mainly about______.

选项 A、The man was the boss in the traditional marriage
B、The changes of male and female roles in marriage
C、The woman is the boss in the marriage now
D、Many Americans still have a traditional marriage
