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.
Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a "housewife".
She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was usually
out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see
the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more wemen work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children
all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and
cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework
now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always
cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband
cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are too far away to
help in a regular way.
More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center.
The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let people with
children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even
stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: They are called
"househusband". In the United States more ans more men are becoming househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children
better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their
marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other
