Househusbands

Dear Editor,

I read with interest the article on American families In general I agree with it, but there are some important things it left out It didn't tell the reader much about the life of a househusband It's not an easy life I know, because I’m now a househusband myself A househusband has to change many of his ideas and his ways

First of all, he has to change the way he thinks about time Before I was a househusband,

I worked full-time for the New York Times I was a reporter, and time was always important We had to finish our article quickly and give them to the editor Everyone was always in a hurry This is the way, many other men work, too Businessmen, lawyers, bankers and doctors all have to work quickly

At home it's different The househusband cannot be in a hurry all the time If

you rush around, you will make everyone unhappy! The children will be unhappy

because they don't understand For them, time is not important Your wife will be unhappy because the children are unhappy You will be unhappy, too, because they are all unhappy So you have to learn to slow down That is the first and most important rule for a househusband

There is something else the househusband must learn You must learn to show how you feel about things At work, men usually do not talk about feelings If they do, people

think they are strange So, many men are not used to telling anyone about their feelings.

They do not know how to talk about their anger, worries, or love But children need to know how you feel They need to know how much you love them If you are angry, they

need to know why Your wife also needs to know about your feelings If you do not say anything, your family may get the wrong idea Then there may be serious problems People talk a lot about househusbands these days Usually they talk about men doing the housework, the cooking, cleaning, and shopping But in my opinion, these are the easiest things to leam It was much harder for me to change the way I think and the way I act with my family I think, other men will also find this harder, but, like me, will find it necessary if they want to have a happy family!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several

European nations INSTITUTED public-welfare programs But such a movement was

slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing

to work could find a job

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution Paid for

by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payments

to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated

In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes

Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons

It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S households contribute money to charity

A only charity organizations

B the US government agencies

C volunteer organizations

C “executed” D “introduced”

46 The Social Security program has become possible thanks to

A donations from companies

B people’s willingness to

work C deductions from

wages

D enforcement laws
