5, 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 1 to 10.
Women in Families
Role reversal has not really become popular. Couples who swap roles are still few and far between. Is that
because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just afraid to resist tradition?
The isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take care of his home and
children for two and a half years.
The idea of swapping roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is still a relatively
new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let the newly liberated women make progress with her career
while the New Man stays at home and takes care of the house and children.
Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as if we were a l i t t l e premature. A recent report by the Family Policy
Studies Center concludes: "Despite important social changes, particularly greater female employment, it is still
women in families who undertake the great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking care of elderly
relatives - The much hyped New Man remains a rare species. ’
Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the natural homemaker,
while dad is the provider. Some men might give help with shopping and cooking, but most would do little
more. Some men even believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity. Others, like Andrew,
want to stay at home-but with reservations. Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says, "I don't know that I
could have continued doing it for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I do want to support my family and I do want
to work. I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen,
but it proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a job I really love. Continuing working has
allowed me to fulfill my potential ."
For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem. Frank and Joan Roberts found that
they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to look after Michael, five, while Joan
continued with her career. Frank says, "It is not socially acceptable where we live. People here are reared to believe
that the man goes out to work and woman stays at home."
