Day 2

Western trend is for ... (P4)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

__________ Most probably it’s your mom, since as the saying in China goes: men go out to work to support family while women look after the house (男主外,女主内).

__________ But in the UK, men are spending more and more time in the kitchen, according to a report from Oxford University. The trend is encouraged by cooking programs that have gained increasingly popularity across the country.

Male celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver has given cookery a more macho image. Combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality, this means that men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961. Some people have called these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals”.

The study was carried out by professor Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford. __________

“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of gender (性别) equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come,” said Gershuny.

__________ It is a dramatic (巨大的) fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.

“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Gershuny. “__________”

A. He found that men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.

B. Women, who a generation ago spent almost two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes.

C. Who cooks in your home?
