According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents.
In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care.
Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative care-giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent care-giving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.
1.In the text, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?
A. Career. B. Education.
C. Gender. D. Family networks.
2.The US study finds that _______.
A. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age
B. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share
C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
D. sons are unwilling to leave care-giving responsibilities to female family members
3.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.
B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.
C. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.
D. Many care providers have potential health problems.
4.The author develops the text by _______.
A. analyzing various research and data
B. describing people’s experiences
C. explaining social networks of careers
D. comparing different gender behavior

For every woman who feels like she's had to scale back her personal ambitions since becoming a mother, gold medal cyclist Kristin Armstrong has a message: Don't give up on your dreams.
She retired after winning gold in Beijing to start a family; son Lucas arrived in 2010, but then she decided to compete again in the London Olympics. She won a gold medal at last.
The decision to start training again wasn't easy. "I struggled with that a lot," she told a newspaper. “At the beginning I felt selfish, I felt like, ‘Well, I'm not supposed to be thinking of myself anymore. It's all supposed to be for my kid.’”
She faced physical challenges of getting back into competition shape after giving birth, as well. When she started racing in the spring of 2011, she was still breast-feeding; she would nurse her son, then race, then breast-feed again after the race. Her days revolved around Lucas and training.
"I feel like I'm able to do what I love to do and still manage a family and have that balance," Armstrong said. "That you have a family or a child doesn't mean that you have to stop going after what you dream of individually.”
Armstrong makes balance look easy, whether it's on her bike or as an athlete-mom. But she points out that you can't have it all without making some sacrifices. For example, don't expect a neat home—her husband, Joe Savola, who she describes as her support system and her "protector", says he's had to give up on trying to keep everything orderly at home and just accept that their living room has become Lucas's playroom. For Armstrong, she's sacrificed time with friends who had kids around the same age—there just wasn't time.
Now, she says, "That sounds like fun to me." As she heads home to Boise, Idaho, she's ready to do regular mom stuff.
1.After Kristin Armstrong retired, she ___.
A. lived an easy life
B. moved to a new house
C. still had a great interest in cycling
D. spent much time with her kid
2.It was difficult for Armstrong to make the decision to participate in the London Olympics because she_______ .
A. was too old to train racing
B. had to give her family much consideration
C. faced big physical challenges
D. could not get support from her family
3.In most days of 2011, Armstrong could be described as ____.
A. a housewife and a new mom
B. an athlete and a career woman
C. a parent and a sportswoman
D. a wife and a good mother
4.We can know from the passage that it ____ for Armstrong to keep a balance between her family and dream.
A. was quite easy B. made her feel tired
C. surprised herself D. was a hard job
