Couples who swap roles are still few 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 little 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. Others, like Andrew, want to stay at home - but with reversations. Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says, I dont know that I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I do want to support my family and I do want to work. I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen , but it proved to be tough for both of us. Maureen says, Ive got a job I really love. Continuing working has allowed me to fulfill 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. 46.

Men dont want to change roles because they are traditionally weak. B. Women should not go out to work because they are better at rearing children. 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. 48. 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. B and C 49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A.

One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the sugested daily cholesterol limit. knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat likes eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called designer eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed result. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived fats stimulate the bodys production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit ones intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 4 56.
