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 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 little premature A recent report by the Family Policy Centre concluded: “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 little more Some men even believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity Others, like Andrew, want to stay at home - but with reservations Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says “I don’t know that I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life I enjoyed it, but I want to support my family and I want to work I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen, but it proved to be tough for both of us.” Maureen says, “I’ve got a job I really love Continuing working has allowed me to fulfil my potential.” 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.” 43 According to the passage, that couples who change roles has been A still rare B very popular C popular D not happened 44 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A Women should not go out to work because they are better at rearing children B Men don’t want to change roles because they are traditionally weak C Andrew Timpson left teaching to take care of his home and children for two and a half year D Fathers have to stay at home to take care of their children because they are no longer the provider 45 The Family Policy Studies Centre concluded that A At present, women still 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 b and c 46 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A Dad is the perfect natural homemaker B Some men may give help with shopping and cooking C All men are happy to swap roles D a and c 47 In the last paragraph, Frank and Joan Roberts were confronted with strong views because 43 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 Because Frank left his job to look after his child, while his wife went on with her career 48 Frank said that A His society encourages men to stay at home to look after children B Men where lives are brought up to the housework C It is very common for women to go out to work where he lives D His society does not accept the fact that women go out to work while men stay at home 49 According to the passage, who are a couple?
