问题     In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are difficult to maintain. The pat- tern of sharing in tasks and in decision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality mare easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the "battle of the sexes".
    If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important--and that has happened in some cases--we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.
    It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of "Momism"--but we don’t want to exchange it for a "neo-Popism". What we need, rather, is the recognition  that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists,  social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit--nor the blame. We have almost given  up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child
    The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.
    Excessive authoritarianism(命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers,  and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent(相关的，切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family. [br] The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that______.
选项 A、the role of the mother may become an inferior one
B、the role of the father may become an inferior one
C、the sharing leads to constant arguing
D、the father becomes physically worn out
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。文章首段指出：夫妻双方共同承担家庭责任，共同做出家庭决策的家庭模式使夫妻地位平等，有利于孩子的健康成长。接着在第二段提到"If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important"(如果这种过程过了头，男人的作用就会变得不重要了。)由此可知，B项与文章内容相符。
