II Read the passage and choose the correct answers (1 p)

The changing roles of the modern-day father

Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner’ of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious values

Today, however, those roles are gradually changing Changes in economic roles

More and more women are going out to work and earn money This increases the budget of the family Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in supporting their children Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essential for many families

With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role, modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving They are now spending more time and energy on their children

Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development Moreover, children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.

This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally male-dominated societies

1 Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?

A financial supporter B teacher of moral values C religious educator D caregiver

2 The influence of a mother's love is that of the father's A more important than B less important than C as important as D much greater than

3 Children who get more fatherly love will behavioural problems A never have any B have fewer C have more D have a lot of The changing roles of the father will be seen more clearly in

A traditionally male-dominated societies B developed countries C.economically independent societies D ethnic groups 5 The word ‘who’ in paragraph refers to
