Cultural relics*閱讀理解 “Congratulations,Mr.Jones!Its a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words.Some feel proud when they receive the news,while others worry,wondering whether they will be good fathers.Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them,others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them.Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time.For other couples,pregnancy(懷孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task.Yet,unfortunately,few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process.Although many good books have been written about American mothers,only recently have some books discussed the role of a father. It is argued by some writers that the transition to the fathers role,although difficult,is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mothers role.The mothers role seems to require a plete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life,on the other hand,the fathers role is less demanding and immediate.However,even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home,the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1.According to the author,being a father_.A.brings a feeling of excitement to some menB.has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC.makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD.means nothing but more responsibilities2.It is stated in the passage that_.A.some parents are not prepared to have a childB.young couples do not like children at allC.working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD.many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child3.The transition to the mothers role requires that the wife_.A.changes her life style in a quite different wayB.makes a plete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC.stays at home to take care of the babyD.helps her husband in his re-socialization process參考答案： 1.C; 2.A; 3.B解析： 本文主要講述從丈夫的角色轉(zhuǎn)換到父親的角色是一個(gè)很難的過(guò)程。1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句“Some feel proud when they receive the news,while others worry.”可推知此題答案為C項(xiàng)。2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句“.pregnancy(懷孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.”可推知此題答案為A項(xiàng)。3.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第二句“The mothers role seems to require a plete transformation of daily routine and adaptation to a new life.”可推知此題答案為B項(xiàng)。*語(yǔ)法填空World Read Aloud Day is celebrated each year on the first Wednesday of March.
