Overall,times are changing in the American home.In 1976,women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweepinganddusting work,compared with 17 hours in 2005.Men are taking on more housework,more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework,about 12 weekly hours,while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern,with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men.Single men worked the hardest around the house,more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further.With more than three children,for example,wives took on more of the extra work,clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours.
语篇解读:本文描述了一个很普遍的社会现象:男性和女性做家务的时间随着时间的推移会发生一些变化。
1.According to the “wellknown pattern”in Paragraph 1,a married man.
A.takes on heavier work
B.does more housework
C.is the main breadwinner
D.is the master of the house
解析:推理判断题。结合第一段内容,特别是最后一句“Men usually work more outside the home,while women take on more of the housework.”可判断男人作为家庭中的支柱——养家糊口的人,从事的家务劳动相对较少,这是众所周知的生活模式。
