问题     "Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl."
    Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples pregnancy (怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
    Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
    It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as transition the wife must made to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative (创新) adaptation, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
In the second paragraph, the author ______.

选项 A、criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B、excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father
C、supports the idea that chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D、complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father

答案D

解析 第三段第二句指出,从丈夫转变为父亲是一个很难的过程,可是社会在教他们怎样做父亲方面做出的努力却很少。因此选D。
