In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”. If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important – and that has happened in some cases – we are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism” – but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neoPopism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are being more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit – nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism（命令主義） has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent （相關(guān)的，切題的） not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family. 31.

A) fundamental to a sound democracy B) not pertinent to healthy family life C) responsible for Momism D) what we have almost given up 32.

A) is mainly the mother’s job B) belongs among the duties of the father C) is the job of schools and churches D) involves a partnership of equals 34. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is ____________________. A) minor because he is an ineffectual parent B) irrelevant to the healthy development of the child C) pertinent to the healthy development of the child D) identical to the role of the child’s mother 35. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A) A healthy, cooperative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society. B) Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores. C) Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory. D) A woman’s place in the home – now as always. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “l(fā)ooksay” or “wholeword” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively. The wholeword approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the selfdirected, “l(fā)earning how to learn” activities remended by advocates （倡導(dǎo)者） of “open” classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading.
