Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (1) __________ between

husband and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work

opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children. Since

and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share

household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing

and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.

children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of

Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years,

Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything

from care-taking to general decision (3) __________ around kids' lives.”

people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade. The (4)

home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a
