Question 2. Read the passage and circle the best answer to each question. (1.0 pt):
The changing roles of the modern father
Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner’ of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious
values. Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
Changes in economic roles
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the family.
Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in
supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they
make paternal financial support less essential for many families.
Changes in caregiving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role, modern
fathers tend to be more involved in children's caregiving. They are now spending more time and energy
on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a
father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense
of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover,
children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future especially in
traditionally male-dominated societies.

A. financial supporter C. religious educator
B. teacher of moral values D. caregiver
14. Social welfare programmes ___________.
A. support families financially C. educate fathers about their responsibilities
B. help mothers with domestic abuse D. train caregivers
15. The influence of a mother's love is ___________ that of the father's.
A. more important than C. much greater than
B. less important than D. as important as

A. never have any C. have fewer
B. have more D. have a lot of
