XIII. Read the passage. Choose no more than THREE WORDS from the reading
text that have the same meaning as the given definition to fill in each blank.
While couples without a clear or equal chore division may encounter quarrels over who
does what, a recent survey finds the divorce rate among couples sharing chores equally is
about fifty percent higher than those in which wives do more or most of the housework,
which can be a slap in the face for gender equality.
The researchers explain that modern couples organize their marriage and work out the
tasks and duties, which may gradually turn their marriage into a business or contractual
relationship. The woman may gradually feel less needed or happy and what's worse is
that no one would care to help if something is not among their assigned chores. That
seems to encourage conflicts rather than conflict resolution skills.
On the contrary, in families without equal task division women tend to be responsible for
more chores than men. While they believe they can exchange their roles for their
husbands', many women believe they are most naturally suited for certain tasks. They
simply enjoy being involved in their children's activities, which means more chores for
them. This group of women also report more marital satisfaction.
The survey also aimed to find out whether women's were happier if men shared more of
the burden. In fact, they find that men report fewer family conflicts and greater well-
being while women appear to be largely unmoved. This may be partly because they feel
less guilty or simply learn how to have a quiet life.
1. process or result of dividing household responsibilities - ___________
2. view that requires the same rights, benefits, etc. regardless of sexes - _________
3. tie or bond between people who agree on certain conditions - ________
