Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity chefs(名人厨师)like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cookery a more manly image, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality, to mean men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said: "The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of gender equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come."
Women, who a generation ago spent a fraction under two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes — a dramatic fall, but they still spend far more time at the stove than men. Some critics say men have been inspired to pick up a spatula(锅铲)by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
The report, commissioned by frozen food company Birds Eye, also makes clear that the family meal is limping(缓慢前进)on in far better health than some have suggested, thanks in part to a resurgence(复兴)in cooking by some consumers. Two-thirds of adults claim that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.
Anne Murphy, general manager at Birds Eye, said: "The evening meal is still clearly central to family life and with some saying family time is on the increase and the appearance of a more frugal(节俭的)consumer, we think the return to tradition will continue as a trend."
However, Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table — with many "family meals" in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by completely different members of the family.
"The family meal has changed very substantially, and few of us eat — as I did when I was a child — at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format." [br] What is one force behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
选项
A、The influence of popular female chefs.
B、The development of sexual equality campaign.
C、The improvement of cooks’ economic status.
D、The change of female’s view on cooking.
答案
B
解析
第2段提到,模范名厨们为烹饪增添了更多男子气概,再加上性别平等问题变得更为普遍,使得与1961年相比,如今男性下厨的时间是原来的两倍多。由此可见,这种趋势背后有两种动力,一是男性模范名厨的示范作用,二是两性越来越平等,故答案为B),同时排除A)“受欢迎的女性厨师的影响”。名人厨师只是电视台的栏目创意,并未直接说明厨师经济地位有所提高,故排除C);名人厨师改变的是男性对烹饪的看法,故排除D)。
