Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It’s a well-known pattern," said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework. He points out that differences among households exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. And the situation gets worse for women when they have children. Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from 6 in 1976 to 13 in 2005. Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours; while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most — about 21 hours a week. Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’ 10 hours.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
33. What can we learn from Stafford’s research?
34. How many hours did married women in their 60s and 70s spend on housework one week?
35. Which group of men does most housework according to the passage?
选项
A、The unequal distribution of housework between men and women.
B、The change of women’s attitude towards housework.
C、The influence of men sharing housework in American families.
D、The change of the time spent on housework in American families.
答案
D
解析
选项均为名词短语且概括性强表明,本题可能考查短文的主题。短文开头提到,一项新的研究表明,结婚意味着女士每周会多出7个小时的家务劳动,接下来介绍了男女在结婚前后做家务所用时间的变化以及生完孩子后男女家务劳动时间的变化,由此可知,短文主要讲的是美国家庭中男女家务劳动时间的变化,故答案为[D]。
