问题 Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labour．Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families，while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children
These roles were firmly fixed for most people，and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles．But by the middle of this century，men’s and women’s roles were becoming less firmly fixed．
    In the 1 950s，economic and social success was the goal of the typical American．But in the 1 960sa new force developed called the counterculture．The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class goals．The counterculturepresented men and women with new role choices．Taking more interest in childcare，men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives．In fact，some young men and women moved to communalhomes or farms where the economic and child care responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes．In addition，many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier．Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam．
    In terms of numbers．the  counterculture  was not a very large group of people．But its influence spread to many parts of American society．Workingmen of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns．Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families．Some doctors，lawyers，and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighbourhoods．
    In the 1 970s，the feminist movement, orwomen’s liberation,produced additional economicand social changes．Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers．Most of them still took traditional women’s jobs as public school teaching，nursing，and secretarial work．But some women began toenter traditionally male occupations：police work，banking，dentistry，and construction work．Women were asking for equal work，and equal opportunities for promotion．
    Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men andwomen．Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations．Many people appeal for the equality between men and women with the hope of transforming the traditional roles of men and women．Actually，the gender role in many countries is much better than before．
It could be inferred from the passage that ________ ．
选项 A、men and women will never share the samegoals
B、some men will be willing to exchange their traditional male roles
C、most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wives
D、more American households are headed by women than ever before
答案C
解析 A项与文章第四段倒数第二句But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations相矛盾，因此错误；B项指一些男性将愿意改变他们的传统男性角色，文中没有明确提到，故排除；C项指的是大部分男人将会很乐意与妻子分担一些家庭责任，根据文章第二段第五句Taking more interest in childcare,men began toshare child-raising tasks with their wives．可知，该选项正确；D项与C项矛盾，故排除。故本题选C。
