Housework is a frequent source of disputes (ÕùÂÛ) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.

A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as ¡° women¡¯s work¡±.

The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.

But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford¡¯s Department of Sociology, said, ¡°we¡¯ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ¡®men¡¯s work¡¯ or ¡®women¡¯s work¡¯.¡±Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework.¡°At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,¡± she said.

B. Women now are too busy with their work to do housework.

It¡¯s official. Denmark¡ªas well as being the world¡¯s best country to live in for women with the second-happiest people and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe¡ªhas the most contented babies. Or, at least, the ones who cry the least. According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics, Danish, German and Japanese babies cry the least, while British, Canadian and Italian babies cry the most.

¡°I¡¯m not surprised,¡± Danish parenting expert and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Jessica Alexander tells me. ¡°The first year of a child¡¯s life is considered so important in Denmark. Danish parents are much less stressed because they get good maternity and paternity leave (Ôвú¼Ù). The atmosphere is much calmer and, if mothers are getting more time off, that goes hand in hand with less stress, more contact, more routines and less crying.¡± She pauses before throwing in a final tip: ¡°Oh, and Danish babies sleep outdoors a lot.¡±

In Denmark, a woman is given four weeks pregnancy leave followed by 52 weeks of paid leave that can be shared between parents. And Alexander thinks there is another important reason why Danish babies cry less: breastfeeding. ¡°It¡¯s just the done thing in Denmark,¡± she says of a country that has the world¡¯s highest breastfeeding rates. ¡°In other countries, there are continual discussions about whether you should or shouldn¡¯t breastfeed. In Denmark, breastfeeding has never gone out of style. And everyone does it for a year.¡±

For Iben Sandahl, Alexander¡¯s co-author, it comes down to the Danish attitude to life in general. ¡°We are an honest and pure people,¡± she tells me. ¡°We are surrounded by social support and are less likely to become angry, sad or annoyed when our babies are crying. And we are good at embracing (Óµ±§) all kinds of feelings, so we aren¡¯t scared. Instead, we try to connect with the babies when they cry. It¡¯s how babies communicate and it¡¯s about trying to understand it.¡±

A. An effective healthcare system.

B. More company from a parent.

C. An energetic busy mother.

D. More chances to meet fellow babies.

2.It can be learned from the text that ________.

A. try to figure out what they want

B. put them outdoors for a good sleep

C. seek social support for guidance

D. wait a moment for them to calm down

Maps of the world¡¯s population show that the majority of people today live near water. 1.We also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water. More interesting, this human favor for water makes evolutionary sense. 2.

Neuroscientist(Éñ¾­ÏµÍ³¿Æѧ¼Ò) Michael Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains. Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish and crabs.3.

It's no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.

4.Psychiatrist(¾«Éñ²¡Ñ§¼Ò)and biochemist Joseph Hibbelin of National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interesting, Hibbelin and researcher Laura Reis have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.

5.We vacation on the coast and see the waves come and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. When we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy.

A. Sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from what¡¯s swimming under waves.

B. We know that fish and the sea are good for us, and we seek them out.

C. We live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands.

D. Scientists help people overcome depression.

E. Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood.

F. It is good for our health to swim under the waves.

G. That sea food was packed with omega-3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth.

Many people think that romance£¨ÀËÂþ£©will disappear little by little as couples grow older, but a heartbreaking video of an elderly man singing to his dying wife shows that for some, love lasts a life time.

The video was uploaded(ÉÏ´«) to Facebook by the pair's granddaughter Erin Solari. In the video 92-year-old Howard is singing to his dying wife, 93-year-old Laura, with the 1940s love song "You'll Never Know".

"I love you.., always love," Laura, who is seriously ill, tells her husband in the video--before asking him to "take good care of yourself" when she's gone.

Howard then continues to sing to his wife: "You' 11 never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. You'll never know just how much I love you." "Isn't your grandfather lovely?" Laura says to her granddaughter, who is filming the moving moment on her phone in the hospital room.

Erin originally posted the video to her Facebook page on September 12, 2015, and it has since earned more than 3.6 million views. On her Facebook, Erin wrote down details of her grandparents' inspiring relationship. She said Howard chose to sing "You' 11 Never Know" to his wife because "the song comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II." "Their love story has moved hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world," said Erin.

¡°Is there anything else you need, honey£¿¡± my dad asked me as he put three twenty?dollar bills in my hand. I was traveling back home from a family visit, and after treating me to breakfast and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted to make sure that I would be okay on the road.

¡°No, Dad. You've done so much already. Thank you£¡¡± I was overwhelmed once again by his kind acts of providing everything I needed, despite the fact I just turned 40. Yet I realize that in my father's eyes, I will always be his little girl. He takes deep pleasure in knowing his children are all right. Now that he has enough money, he loves to give whenever he sees a need.

But this was not always the case. Divorced from my mother when I was 11, my dad couldn't be around his kids as often as he would have liked. Money was also tight; even weekend visits were rare. However, my dad stayed in constant communication with us and made sure he was involved in our lives. Though he couldn't always be there in person, I knew he was only a phone call away. I could always count on that.

Even now, almost 30 years later, I treasure knowing that I can pick up the phone and call Dad, and he'll be there for me. I have a wonderful husband, but that hasn't changed how Dad sees me. I'm still his child and he loves to see that my needs are met.

I remember a time when I was shopping in a hardware store(Îå½ðµê)with Dad. I mentioned my plans to paint one wall in my house. Well, that's all it took for Dad to take action. By the time I got to the checkout(½áÕË) line, all the supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed with things he bought.

Then there was the time when I took him with me to do some grocery shopping for just a few ¡° items¡±. By the time we were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you don't want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want something.
