Text for number 11 to 15
House Husbands’ Heart Risk
Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health. But reversing
the traditional gender roles, being a house husband is a stressful business, according to
the latest research by American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become
house husbands, men increase their risk of heart attack or coronary disease by as
much as 82% according to research based on 10 year study of 2.500 people in Boston,
USA.
According to Dr. Elaine Eaker, the key to the problem is that some men became
stressed about performing a role not traditionally assign to them by society. Men who
stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from friends and family
women do the same.
Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society
expects the main career should be a woman and society is structured around that. Day
care is called mother and toddler groups and some men feel awkward about belonging
to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many
men tend to underestimate the task of caring for a family. He said ‘Most men think
being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school
and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee. They are crazy. Most men are not
used to performing a variety of activities simultaneously - the kind of multi-tasking
which is second nature to most women.’
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one in
seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The
study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart
disease than those in more junior positions.
11. The type of the text above is ….
a. narrative
b. descriptive
c. news item
d. analytical exposition
e. hortatory exposition
12. The main idea of the first paragraph is ….
a. People living in the rat-race tend to have heart attacks.
b. The research on house-husband health involved 2500 people.
c. Scientists did some research on the people’s health living in Boston.
d. House husbands have understandable reasons why they gave up their jobs.
e. The result of the research showed that house husbands tend to have heart
attacks.
13. “Some men became stressed about performing a role not traditionally assign to them
by society.” (Paragraph 2). The statement above is the result of research done by ….
a. A psychologist
b. Jack O’Sullivan
c. Dr Ellaine Eaker
d. An American scientist
e. Professor Gary Cooper
14. The purpose of the text is ….
a. To describe what a house husband is.
b. To persuade readers not to become a house husband.
c. To report the result of a research carried on by Dr Elain Eaker.
d. To explain to readers why house husbands are subjects to heart attack.
