For decades, the debate about balancing work and family life has been framed as an issue for women. Many studies have shown that motherhood is【C1】______taxing (负担重的) than fatherhood) mothers typically reported higher【C2】______of unhappiness and pressure than women【C3】______children or men in general. Over the years, this disparity (不平等) has helped【C4】______the gender wars, in policy debates and at home, often over a【C5】______of dirty laundry.
Men, the truism (众所周知的道理) went, did not do their【C6】______of the grocery shopping or diaper (尿布) changing. They let women pull the【C7】______shift.
But several studies show that fathers are now struggling just【C8】______much—and sometimes even more—than mothers in trying to【C9】______their responsibilities at home and in the office. Just last week, Boston College【C10】______a study called "The New Dad" suggesting that new fathers face a subtle bias in the workplace,【C11】______fails to recognize their stepped-up family responsibilities and【C12】______that they will be largely【C13】______by children.
Fathers also seem more unhappy than mothers with the juggling act: In dual-earner couples, 59 percent of fathers report【C14】______level of "work-life conflict", compared【C15】______about 45 percent of women, according to a 2008 report from the Families and Work Institute in New York.
The research highlights the singular challenges of fathers. Men are【C16】______the primary breadwinner, but they also increasingly report a【C17】______to spend more time with their children. To do so, they must first navigate a workplace that is often【C18】______to give them time off for family reasons, And they must【C19】______with a wife who may not always recognize their【C20】______at home.

选项
A、glad
B、willing
C、pleased
D、reluctant
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。结合文章的意思可知,男性有压力正是因为他们要担负越来越多的家庭责任。但是偏偏丁作单位又不能给予理解。由此可以推知,单位一般——男性因为家里的事情而清假,故reluctant“勉强的,不情愿的”最合适。
