Once while being prepared for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. Why are we seeing more stay-at-home dads? I thought maybe it’s because a man doesn’t make more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into consideration when deciding which parent will stay at home.
At that point, one of the members expressed his opinion, “It should be the better parent who stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that. I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so what he said made me excited. It showed that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying at home my wife was the “better” parent: she had spent more time with our son, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And if he had had a choice, he’d have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew him well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets: Women are good at looking after the children because they do it. It’s not because of a mother’s instinct(本能)-which I think is mostly learned anyway. It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
Women are able to give birth and nurse, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I don’t know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are able to look after them besides Mom.
【1】Which of the following does the first paragraph imply?
A.Actually more and more men like staying at home.
B.the wife earns more in more and more families.
C.The writer found a job at a TV station.

【2】The writer decided to stay at home eight years ago because ________.
A.it was easier for his wife to find a job B.he thought he was the better father
C.their son liked him a little bit better D.he was earning more than his wife did
【3】Women are better than men at taking care of children because ________.
A.they were born with the ability B.they love children and enjoy it
C.they have learned it at school D.they spend more time doing it
【4】Which of the following is the writer’s conclusion (结论) at the end?
A.He is better than his wife at taking care of children.
B.He isn’t as good as his wife at taking care of children.
C.Either fathers or mothers can take care of children.
D.Both fathers and mothers cannot take care of children.
