(2014·广东省“六校联盟”第三次联合考试)When it comes to parenting, Chinese fathers say the most important role they play is that of the family chauffeur.

In a survey of 500 Chinese fathers released earlier this week by communications company JWT, respondents ranked driving their children to extra-curricular activities and to school first and second, respectively, as the main childcare responsibilities of the male in the family.More than two-thirds of Chinese fathers surveyed said they saw these tasks as their responsibilities, not their wives'.

Fathers ranked handling doctor visits, disciplining children and helping with homework third through fifth on the list of daddy jobs.

Zhang Xiaoyan, a housewife in Shanghai, complained that driving the children is the only task her husband does at home.“Men are under greater stress to support the family by working long hours, so they want ‘easy’tasks that don't involve a lot of thinking，” she said.

“Since those long hours prevent many fathers from spending much time with their children, they don't want to be the one to scold them for not doing their homework，” she added.

“They want to make up for not being there most of the time, and they want to be the good cop，” Ms.Zhang said. “So moms are always the bad cop, which is fine because kids have a stronger bonding with us.”

Kids have long been an obsession in China, but the chatter (喋喋不休) about family has increased this past week after the government announced that it would ease restrictions on its longstanding policy of restricting most families to having just one child.

Fathers' roles have also been featured in the media limelight in recent weeks after a reality show called Where Are We Going, Dad? became a hit last month on Chinese television and the online video site Tudou.

The show, which is an adaptation of a Korean reality series of the same name, takes five celebrity dads and their young kids to the countryside where the father-son duos compete against one another in various tasks.

Many Chinese moms, like Ms.Zhang, have encouraged their husbands to watch the show, hoping it will inspire them to be more active in parenting duties.

1．What does the underlined word “chauffeur” in the first paragraph mean? A．Breadwinner. B．Car driver.

C．Homework instructor. D．Housework participant. 2．With heavy workloads, Chinese fathers would do the following EXCEPT________. A．voicing their anger when kids fail to do their homework B．devoting most of their time to their career

C．making up for their absence from parenting duties

D．only taking family tasks that don't demand much thinking 3．The show Where Are We Going, Dad? highlights________. A．the teamwork spirit of the participants B．the wisdom of kids
