Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Role reversal has not really become popular. Couples who swap roles are still few and far between. Is that
because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just afraid to resist tradition? “The isolation was the
worst thing,” said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take care of his home and children for two and a half
years. The idea of swapping roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is still a relatively
new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let the newly liberated women make progress with her career
while the New Man stays at home and takes care of the house and children. Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as
if we were a l i t t l e premature. A recent report by the Family Policy Studies Center concludes: "Despite
important social changes, particularly greater female employment, it is still women in families who undertake the
great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking care of elderly relatives - The much hyped New Man
remains a rare species.” Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the
natural homemaker, while dad is the provider. Some men might give help with shopping and cooking, but most
would do little more. Some men even believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity.
For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem. Frank and Joan Roberts found that
they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to look after Michael, five, while Joan continued
with her career. Frank says, "It is not socially acceptable where we live. People here are reared to believe that the man
goes out to work and woman stays at home."
Question 7. According to the passage, couples who change roles has been
A. still rare B. very popular C. popular D. not happened
Question 8. The Family Policy Studies Center concluded that
A. at present, women still do most of the housework.
B. many women change their traditional roles, because there are many jobs created for them.
C. the men stay at home to take care of the house and children.
D. A and C are correct.
Question 9. In the last paragraph, Frank and Joan Roberts were confronted with strong views because
A. Frank went out to work and Joan Roberts looked after her child.
B. both of them went out to work.
C. Frank was unable to look after his child.
D. Frank left his job to look after his child, while his wife went on with her career.
