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 don't often do the same share ofhousework. 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. Doing housework.

C. Doing part-time jobs.

D. Looking after the baby.

（??? ）5. What can be the best title for the passage？

A. Traditional Roles of Parents

B. Women Work Harder than Men

C. Mothers Care More about Baby

D. Housework Sharing Between New Parents
