Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Men have played a significant role in American society as the main breadwinner, and protector of the family. But the traditional role of men has slowly been transferred to women. Society is changing with women going to college, and gaining jobs. It may even happen in several years’ time when women are given sole earning responsibility in American society as the main breadwinner of the family. That is due in part to women gained working privileges equal to men in the 1970’s.

Up until the 1970’s, men were the traditional family breadwinners, while women stayed at home, raised the kids, made dinner every night, cleaned the house, and ran all of the errands. Men went to work every day, making enough money to buy a nice home, buy a new car every so often.

Once women were afforded the opportunity to work in the same jobs men once held, men’s more traditional foothold in the workplace was loosened. Women were given bigger jobs with more responsibility, but women take jobs with major responsibly with less pay than men.

The role of men in American society is changing with more women going to college, and obtaining careers; men are playing more untraditional roles at home.

Women are still giving birth to the kids, but are going to work to earn money to pay the bills, while men are staying home raising the kids, running errands, cleaning, making dinner. Young children, boys as well as girls, are being raised with dad at home taking care of the kids.

 

Millions of families are also raising their young with mom and dad sharing all of the responsibilities. Today’s role of men in American society is more of a shared role, with a more undefined role.

The traditional role of men was ……………..

A.the foothold in the family

B. raising the children when they were at home

C. the supporter of women

D. the main breadwinner of the family

Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die younger than women? Is this because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first.

Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger physically, yet women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they are upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in wars where there is a definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to fight against and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a rational world.

So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his emotions are part of him. Of course some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time.

We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer we are not really alive at all. Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way – with tears and laughter instead of silence – and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just my theory of course. Have you a better one?

What is found the same for both men and women?

A. They like to cry 

B. They are physically strong 

C. They are emotional creatures 

D. They want to play loud music

Exercise 1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and wasprepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of putting himinto childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job,the role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the next four years, w ith Derek working from home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year.

Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal, research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while the men were unemployed.

The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess, particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier.

118. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Men being the bread winners​​​B. Traditional roles of women

C. Women being the home makers​​​D. Reversed roles between men and women

119. Catherine and her husband decided that Catherine would be the primary earner because ____.​

A. she had a badly paid job​​​​B. she was not good at childcare

C. she had a reliable job​​​​D. she wanted her husband to stay at home

120. In paragraph 1, the word “him" refers to ____.

A. their son​​B. her husband ​C. Derek​​D. her colleague

121. They decided that Derek would look after their son because they____.

A. couldn’t afford to put their child in care for long periods each day

B. didn’t want to put their child in care for long periods each day

C. thought childcare was not safe enough for their children

D. worried about their son’s health problems

122. In paragraph 2, the word “reversal" is closest in meaning to ____.

A. stability​​B. modification​C. rehearsal​​D. switch

123. One reason tor a change in the number of men staying home is ____.

A. the stability in the number of highly-educated women who are working

B. the fall in the number of highly-educated women who are working

C. the rise in the number of highly-educated women who are working

Dịch bài đọc:

Tại sao có rất nhiều bà nội bà ngoại mà lại có rất ít ông nội ông ngoại? Nói cách khác, tại sao đàn ông chết sớm hơn phụ nữ? Có phải là vì đàn ông sợ già và bất lực và vì vậy họ muốn chết trước khi điều đó xảy ra? Có lẽ họ sợ bị bỏ lại một mình bởi người phụ nữ của mình và vì vậy quyết định ra đi trước.

Nhiều lời giải thích được đưa ra cho thực tế là đàn ông chết sớm hơn phụ nữ. Đàn ông mạnh mẽ hơn về thể chất, nhưng phụ nữ có thể sống lâu hơn. Cả đàn ông và phụ nữ đều là những sinh vật có cảm xúc nhưng phụ nữ không sợ hãi hay xấu hổ khi khóc trong khi đàn ông từ chối làm như vậy. Họ sợ bị cho là "mềm yếu". Một số người đàn ông, khi họ buồn bã, mở nhạc thật lớn hoặc đào hố trong vườn để giải tỏa cảm xúc của họ. Nhiều người đàn ông thích một cuộc sống có trật tự để họ vùi mình vào công việc hoặc muốn có vợ cùng vài đứa con hoặc tham gia vào các cuộc chiến tranh nơi có một loạt mệnh lệnh nhất định. Có một nhà lãnh đạo đưa ra mệnh lệnh và một kẻ thù đã biết để chiến đấu chống lại và đánh bại. Tất cả những điều này làm cho đàn ông cảm thấy họ sống trong một thế giới lý trí.

Vì vậy, phần lớn đàn ông thích một thế giới lý trí. Sự lý trí là tốt nhưng nó không bao gồm tất cả những thứ làm cho cuộc sống vui vẻ haythậm chí lộn xộn và bực bội. Khi một người đàn ông không chịu khóc, anh ấy từ chối chấp nhận rằng cảm xúc là một phần của anh ấy. Tất nhiên một số người đàn ông không theo mô hình này. Bob Hawke có khả năng khóc ở nơi công cộng trong khi Margaret Thatcher có lẽ không có khả năng khóc bất cứ lúc nào.

Chúng ta cần khóc vì điều đó cho thấy khả năng chịu đựng của chúng ta. Nếu chúng ta không đau khổ, chúng ta không thực sự sống chút nào. Đau khổ có thể là sáng tạo hoặc phá hoại. Nếu tất cả chúng ta có thể học cách khóc, cười, hét lên và nhảy một cách cởi mở, chúng ta đang sống sáng tạo và bổ sung một cái gì đó cho loài người. Chúng ta thường nói đàn ông phải chịu đựng nhiều căng thẳng hơn và do đó họ chết sớm hơn. Có phải chúng ta đang không nói theo một cách khác rằng họ không biết cách chịu đựng đúng cách - bằng nước mắt và tiếng cười thay vì im lặng - và vì vậy họ đau khổ và bỏ cuộc? Đó chỉ là giả thuyết của tôi. Các bạn có thuyết nào hay hơn không?

THE FAMILY

Statesmen define a family as “a group of individuals having a common dwelling and related by blood, adoption or marriage, (8)             includes common-law relationships”. Most people are born into one of these groups and will live their lives as a family in such a group.

Although the definition of a family may not change, (9)          relationship of people to each other within the family group changes as society changes. More and more wives are taking paying jobs, and, as a result, the roles of husband, wife and children are changing. Today, men expect to work for pay for about 40 years of their lives, and, in today’s marriages (10)         which both spouses have paying jobs, women can expect to work for about 30 to 35 years of their lives. This means that men must leam to do their share of family tasks such as caring for the children and daily (11)         chores. Children, too, especially adolescents, have to (12)        with the members of their family in sharing household tasks.

The widespread acceptance of contraception has meant that having children is as matter of choice, not an automatic result of marriage. Marriage itself has become a choice. As alternatives such as common- law relationships and single-parent families have become socially acceptable, women will become more independent.

Đáp án D.

Tạm dịch: Although the definition of a family may not change,         relationship of people to each other within the family group changes as society changes: Mặc dù định nghĩa của một gia đình có thể không thay đổi,             mối quan hệ giữa người với nhau trong nhóm gia đình sẽ thay đổi khi xã hội thay đổi.

Vì mối quan hệ này đã được xác định rõ ràng (mối quan hệ giữa con người với con người), nên ta chọn D, dùng mạo từ “the”.

FOR REVIEW

Các danh từ có “of” ngay sau đó thường đứng sau “the”. do là khi kết hợp với “of”, danh từ đó đã được xác định r và do đó ta dùng mạo từ “the”.

Ex: the man of the family, the climate of this city.
