Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before. In pressurized modern lives, demands to be a fulfilled individual, a good partner and a good worker, take no account of being a good parent. We haven’t left space for the nurturing parents who are expected to provide what children need. As a result, many families in the western world just don’t work.
Something will have to change. With luck, people in the future will only have children if they really want them. That should mean parenthood is seen as a much more positive promise than it is now, that parents are socially supported, and are admired for doing a good job.
The problem is that in the last generation or so we’ve come to assume that women should want and be able to everything that by tradition men have done at the same time as pretty well everything that by tradition women have done. And it’s just not possible. Since adopting a male life style is demonstrably only another form of submission(順從), quite a number of highly educated and economically privileged(優(yōu)越的)women are now choosing to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children for longer than that poor 18 weeks.
The most welcoming trend in parenting is that men are participating more and more, even that is not free of conflict, however. Intellectually(理智上), women want men to be equal parents and do their share. But there’s often a contradictory(矛盾的)emotion because children are the last fort of the female power in the family. “I want him to help me but this is my region and being better at it is one of the new things I’ve got as a female.” In truth, although they haven’t had generations of practice, there’s no reason why men can’t raise children as well as women. Men left to cope after bereavement or divorce, as well as some who take on the role of principal career within a partnership, are already doing it.
16.Why is it more difficult today to be good parents?
A. Because parents don’t want to face the pressure of rearing children.
B. Because children are in dependent and don’t need to be taken care of.
C. Because husbands and wives have little time to talk to each other.
D. Because people want to fulfill their own dreams, leaving no time to look after children.
17. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. people in future will not be as interested in children as people at present
B. parenthood will be considered as a positive commitment as it is now
C. women do better in rearing children than men
D. parents will receive admiration for taking good care of children
18. Nowadays, a lot of highly educated and economically privileged women ________.
A. tend to stay at home for more than 18 weeks
B. tend to adopt a male life style
C. tend to quit their jobs and stay at home
D. tend to be submissive wives
19. It seems that in parenting , women ________.
A. are contradictory in their thoughts. B.demand equality between sexes
C. tend to leave children to their husbands. D. often quarrel with their husbands
20. The underlined word “bereavement” in the para 4 probably means _________.
A. departure of his wife. B. death of his wife
C. return of his wife D. annoyance of his wife

The evidence for harmony ( 和諧)may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image(形象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "They're expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There's more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don't want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. " I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. As long as they know what I'm doing, they're fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
1.According to the author, teenage rebellion ________.
A.resulted from changes in families
B.is common nowadays
C.may be a false belief
D.existed only in the 1960s
2.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Education in family
B.Harmony in family
C.Teenage trouble in family
D.Negotiation in family
3.The study shows that teenagers don't want to ________.
A.go boating with their family
B.share family responsibility
C.make family decisions
D.cause trouble in their families
4.Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today's parents ________.
A.care less about their children's life
B.go to clubs more often with their children
C.give their children more freedom
D.a(chǎn)re much stricter with their children
