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, concepts of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by "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 re-estimate the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of "Monism"(一元论), but we don’t want to exchange it for a " New-Monism". What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychologists, social workers, and specialists in family are becoming more aware of the part men play. 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(企业)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 authority has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is relative not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family. [br] With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
选项 A、A healthy, co-operative family is a basic unit of a healthy society.
B、Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.
C、A woman’s place is in the home now as always.
D、The role of the male as breadwinner is one which society considers least important.
