29、r in community serviceB Once I complained to my husband that he wasnt helping enough with our daughter, and I gave him a long list of the parenting chores (家庭杂务) I was shouldering on my own. But you like doing all that stuff, he said. I thought about that while reading a new study about the responsi
30、bilities of parenting. Researchers asked 191 college professors, both men and women, who had children 2 or younger, the pleasure they experienced from childcare. On 16 out of 25 childcare taskslike taking a child to the doctor or buying clothes for a childwomen reported statistically higher levels o
31、f enjoyment than men. The only parenting issue that gave women less pleasure than it gave men was having to manage who does what for the child. On the whole, womens scores were 10 percent higher than mens. Women are also far more likely to take advantage of family-leave benefits to care for children
32、. In the study, all the universities offered paid family leave, and 69 percent of the women took it, while only 12 percent of the men did. In Sweden, where family leave for both parents is particularly generous, men use about 20 percent of the 480-day benefit. Women use nearly all of it. Its difficu
33、lt to know how cultural and economic pressures or biological functions influence parenting. Plenty of men change diapers (尿布), and studies show that mothers and fathers alike spend more time with children than they used to. Men have more than doubled the time they spend on childcare since 1985. Yet
34、women still spend twice as much time with the kids as men, says the University of Maryland sociologist John Robinson. Notably in the study, the parenting activity that gave men the most pleasure (and women, too) was playing and talking with their kids. But when men were asked to rate how often they
35、actually did those things, their scores were about 10 and 40 percent lower than womens. In the end, perhaps the issue is not that mothers are doing too many childcare tasksmy husband was right when he said I liked being a motherbut that men, for all their progress as fathers, are still missing out.
36、42. The author mentioned the disagreement with her husband to . A. complain about his husbands irresponsibility B. show the difference between men and women C. bring up the topic of responsibility of parenting D. describe the unpleasant experience of childcare 43. What can we learn from the passage?
37、 A. More men take family leave to care for children than before. B. Women gain more pleasure in every childcare task than men. C. Men play and talk with their children more than women. D. Women spend more time with children than before. 44. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Fathers should tak
38、e more responsibility in childcare. B. Mothers gain more pleasure from childcare than men. C. Fathers are playing a more important part in childcare. D. Mothers should give fathers more chances to look after children. 45. What is the authors attitude towards mens performance on childcare? A. Approvi
39、ng. B. Dissatisfied. C. Appreciative. D. Objective.C As a child, I loved the natural world. Maybe it had something to do with growing up in a small town. Maybe it was because nature had so many secrets and I was thrilled to be a detective, uncovering them one by one. Im sure that when people from my
40、 generation think back to their childhoods, many recall a tree house, family picnics, or a passion for fishing, hunting, or horseback riding. Most of us had an occasional appetite for dirt as we explored backyards and nearby vacant lots. As someone who grew up in such a world, I enthusiastically enc
41、ourage parents to bring back that happy childhood pastime of letting kids get muddy once in a while. I have more than my own experience to show as evidence that this is a good thing: Study after study indicates that children grow up healthier and happier when they experience a direct connection to n
42、ature. Just as importantly, those young people are also far more likely to value the natural world when theyve developed a connection to it. The need for this has never been greater than it is today. Our natural world is extraordinary in its diversity and complexity, but its also under tremendous th
43、reat. In the past decade, countless tropical rainforests and coral reefs have been lost forever due to human activities, and many more are critically endangered. These areas dont just house animals and plants found nowhere else on the planet; they also provide important economic services that benefi
44、t human health. Streams make fresh water clean; forests reduce flooding; tree provide medicines and insects pollinate (给授粉) crops. The natural world represents an economic backbone for the future of local communities by promoting tourism and local peoples livelihoods. The damage to the earths living systems is fast approaching irreversible (不行逆转的) tipping points, and although we now have a wealth of technological too
