Research says that husbands do not help enough around the house. A study from an American university says it
is 36 for men to do an equal share of housework. Researchers looked at 182 working couples. Both partners
worked the same number of hours in full-time jobs. Men did five hours a week 37 housework than their wives
after their baby was born, even though both parents worked the same number of hours in their job. They spent 16
hours or so a week 38 with the baby.
Becoming a parent added about 21 hours per week to a mother's work. Most of this was 39 her baby. New
fathers did not do extra work because they did not realize the mother was doing so much more. 40 reason is that
after a baby is born, fathers follow the traditional roles in society, where the mother takes care of the baby and the
father works. This happens even when the mother is working the same number of hours in her job.

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
If you want to teach your children about money, giving them pocket money is a good idea. They’re going to need a
place to put it, which is how the three-jar system came into existence: one for spending, one for saving and one for giving.
Almost every child understands the first jar and has a long list of things they want to spend money on right now. The save
jar teaches patience, a concept that parents are constantly trying to reinforce in all sorts of ways.
But the give jar is more mysterious. Give to whom? And why give at all? Quite often our answer is to give back
because it’s the right thing to do. However, it won’t satisfy your children’s curiosity, so let me suggest another one: One
great reason to give is to honor your own family’s history of being helped.
First, this is an opportunity to tell stories about you and your relatives that your children may not have heard before.
People they know, perhaps even their mother or father, have benefited from someone else’s donations. And since your
family was lucky enough to receive help, it’s only fair that you help some other families, too.
In our family, we tell several stories about it. Telling these stories has helped make our present-day volunteer work
and donations more real. When my wife and I showed our now 9-year-old daughter how we divided the money we wanted
to donate, she understood why we were so generous with others.
There are stories waiting for you to tell your children. And once you do, chances are they will know just what to do
with that money accumulating in their Give jars.

The day is called Black Friday. Real and online stores offer discounts of up to 70 percent on thousands of items. It
is traditionally a big shopping day in the USA, but four years ago it crossed the Atlantic and is now huge in the
U.K. It has become so popular in Britain that the police had to be called to four supermarkets just after midnight on
Friday (the bargains went on sale at one minute past midnight). The police were worried about shoppers getting
crushed in the crowds. A police spokesman said, "Officers have worked with store staff to ensure that sale-goers
were able to enter and exit the stores safely."
While shoppers in the U.K. were happy to head to the shops, many store workers in the USA were angry this year.
Many stores decided to start Black Friday a day early, which was on the US celebration of Thanksgiving. Store employees
and shoppers thought it was wrong for stores to ask employees to work on Thanksgiving, which is traditionally a time for
people to spend with their family. A “Boycott Black Thursday” Facebook page has more than 114,000 likes. Many big
