Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.

When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.

After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share increases much less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.

In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this. The  research concludes “Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t want to become the servant of the house”.

What is the most suitable heading for the passage?

A. Difficulties  of working women                       

B. Unequal housework division

C. Reason for women to  be distress                    

D. How to be happy couples

Dịch bài

          Một nghiên cứu gần đây chỉ ra rằng lượng phân chia bất bình đẳng việc nhà vẫn là một lẽ dĩ nhiên đối với nhiều gia đình, dù cho rất nhiều phụ nữ ngày nay có công việc. Trong một cuộc khảo sát với 1,256 người độ tuổi từ 18 đến 65, đàn ông cho biết họ đóng góp khaongr 37% tổng lượng việc nhà, trong khi phụ nữ dự tính phần của họ gần gấp đôi lượng đó, khoảng 70%. Tỉ lệ này không bị tác động bất kể ngừoi phụ nữ có nghề nghiệp hay không.

          Khi được hỏi về quan niệm phân chia công bằng trong công việc, phụ nữ có nghề nghiệp cho rằng việc nhà nên được chia đều cho cả hai bên. Những bà nội trợ lại sẵn lòng gánh 80% - đa số công việc nhà – chỉ cần chồng họ làm phần còn lại. Nghiên cứu cho thấy, nếu số phần trăm này tăng lên, phụ nữ sẽ rầu rĩ và bất an, và cảm thấy rằng mình không được coi trọng.

          Sau khi kết hôn, báo cáo cho thấy phụ nữ tăng lượng làm việc nhà lên 14 giờ mỗi tuần, còn đàn ông chỉ 90 phút. Phân chia công việc trở nên mất cân đối, khi phần việc của đàn ông tăng ít hơn nhiều so với phụ nữ. Chính sự bất bình đẳng và sự thiếu tôn trọng, chứ không phải số giờ làm việc thực tế, đã đưa lại sự bất an và lo lắng cho phụ nữ. Theo nghiên cứu, việc nhà được coi là không lợi lộc gì và không khiến người ta thoả mãn. Các hoạt động được khảo sát bao gồm nấu ăn, dọn dẹp, mua sắm, giặt giũ, rửa bát và chăm con. Phụ nữ có nghề nghiệp nói rằng họ cảm thấy quá sức khi vừa phải làm việc nhà vừa phải làm việc công ty. Ngược lại, những bà nội trợ thường định trước sẽ trở lại đi làm sau khi con lớn. Nhóm đối ượng này lo sẽ mất kĩ năng làm việc nhóm sau khi kết hôn.

In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.

In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this. The  research concludes “Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t want to become the servant of the house”.

Working women _____.

A. want their partners to do an  equal share                  

B. are anxious and depressed

C. do 80% of  the household                                

D. would prefer not to have a job

This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.

  When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.

  After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labour becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
