Housework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.
A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “ women’s work”.
The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “we’ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework.“At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.
1.What does the underlined part word probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Lose weight. B. Be lazy.
C. Earn money. D. Do equal housework.
2.Why will women continue to do more housework before 2050 ?
A. Because men are too busy to help.
B. Because they would like to do so.
C. Because they can do better in housework .
D. Because housework will still be considered as women’s work.
3.From Paragraph 3,what do we know in the UK?
A. Men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average.
B. Women now are too busy with their work to do housework.
C. Women now spend less time on housework than before.
D. Housework is shared equally between men and women.
4.In Dr Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?
A. Cultural attitudes towards housework.. B. Policies made by the government.
C. The time spent on work. D. The type of housework.

It’s official. Denmark—as well as being the world’s best country to live in for women with the second-happiest people and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe—has the most contented babies. Or, at least, the ones who cry the least. According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics, Danish, German and Japanese babies cry the least, while British, Canadian and Italian babies cry the most.
“I’m not surprised,” Danish parenting expert and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Jessica Alexander tells me. “The first year of a child’s life is considered so important in Denmark. Danish parents are much less stressed because they get good maternity and paternity leave (孕产假). The atmosphere is much calmer and, if mothers are getting more time off, that goes hand in hand with less stress, more contact, more routines and less crying.” She pauses before throwing in a final tip: “Oh, and Danish babies sleep outdoors a lot.”
In Denmark, a woman is given four weeks pregnancy leave followed by 52 weeks of paid leave that can be shared between parents. And Alexander thinks there is another important reason why Danish babies cry less: breastfeeding. “It’s just the done thing in Denmark,” she says of a country that has the world’s highest breastfeeding rates. “In other countries, there are continual discussions about whether you should or shouldn’t breastfeed. In Denmark, breastfeeding has never gone out of style. And everyone does it for a year.”
For Iben Sandahl, Alexander’s co-author, it comes down to the Danish attitude to life in general. “We are an honest and pure people,” she tells me. “We are surrounded by social support and are less likely to become angry, sad or annoyed when our babies are crying. And we are good at embracing (拥抱) all kinds of feelings, so we aren’t scared. Instead, we try to connect with the babies when they cry. It’s how babies communicate and it’s about trying to understand it.”
1.Which of the following can make a baby cry less?
A. An effective healthcare system.
B. More company from a parent.
C. An energetic busy mother.
D. More chances to meet fellow babies.
2.It can be learned from the text that ________.
A. something in the milk from breastfeeding can keep babies happy
B. Demark is second to none in protecting its females’ rights
C. Danish parents’ attitudes to a baby’s first year vary considerably
D. breastfeeding is a common and accepted practice in Denmark
3.When babies cry, Danish parents will probably ________.
A. try to figure out what they want
B. put them outdoors for a good sleep
C. seek social support for guidance
D. wait a moment for them to calm down
