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 author will be most likely to agree that______.
选项 A、men are basically opposed to sharing household chores
B、a healthy, cooperative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society
C、division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory
D、the solution of the family problems is unnecessary where, sharing is done
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。文章结尾指出：平等权利和责任的观念不仪与健康的民主相关，而且与健康的家庭也是分不开的。句中a healthy democracy是从社会角度来讲的，故B项为正确答案。
