閱讀理解
In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults (成年人) as babies! It is a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child.
Some parents dont let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. As a result, their children cant do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy to know that. As a result of too much care, their children dont know anything about the world! Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils (破壞) their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they cant depend on their parents, these children may be in great trouble.
It is nice that parents show their care to their children, it is nice that children know that their parents love is out of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.

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.
