閱讀理解

Research （研究） says that husbands do not do their fair share of work around the house. A study from an American university says that men dont often do the same share of housework. Researchers interviewed （采訪） 182 working couples （夫妻） who became first-time parents. Both husbands and wives worked almost the same number of hours in full-time jobs. However， men did five hours a week less housework than women after their baby was born.

It is a different story for mothers. Becoming a parent added about 21 hours a week to a mothers work. Most of this was looking after her baby. New fathers did not do more work because they did not realize （意識到） the mother was doing so much more. Another reason is that after a baby is born， fathers follow the “traditional” roles. That is， the mother looks after the baby and the father works outside. This happens even when the mother is working the same number of hours in her job.

（ ） 1. How many couples were interviewed in the research？

A. 182. B. 110.

C. 80. D. 21.

（ ） 2. Who do less housework around the house？

A. Wives. B. Husbands.

C. Parents. D. Babies.

（ ） 3. What does the underlined sentence “It is a different

story for mothers” probably mean？

A. Mothers come from different families.

B. Mothers like reading different stories.

C. Mothers work more hours than fathers.

D. Different mothers have different children.

（ ） 4. What is the “traditional” role of a father？

A. Working outside. B. Looking after the baby.

C. Doing housework. D. Doing part-time jobs.

（ ） 5. What can be the best title for the passage？

A. Traditional Roles of Parents

B. Women Work Harder than Men

C. Mothers Care More about Baby

D. Housework Sharing Between New Parents

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories， pulling down fourteen homes.

A farmer， Mr Tan， said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children，” he said， “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him， safe but very frightened.”

Mrs Wu Meifang said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
