Read the following passage and mark the letter А, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
 A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many families, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
 When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent if their husband did the remainder. Research has shown that if levels increase beyond these percentages, 
women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.
 After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the increased amount is just 90 minutes. So the labour division becomes unbalanced. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes household chores as thankless and unfulfilling. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by the chores in addition to theіг professional duties.
 In cases where men perform most of thе housework, results were similar. The research showed that the least distressed people are thosе who have an equal share. The research concludes, “Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for the women keeping house, a shared division of labour is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t want to become the servant of the house.”

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 44 to 50.
 The word ‘grandparents' is descriptive of the unique dual parenting role that this generation assume. It emphasises the vital part they play in family life. With a wealth of old world experience behind them, and with the unique ability to metamorphose from advisers or mediators into listeners or friends, they can offer support and stability in an ever-changing world.
 The underlying sense of responsibility that goes with this is tremendous. Grandparents perform a balancing act between the needs of their adult children and those of their grandchildren. This role is varied. It is imperial at times, muted at others. It goes underground whenever required, but it is solid and absolutely dependable.
 Grandparents often bridge the gap between parents and their children. Rebellious, independent children who are trying to find their feet are almost always at loggerheads with their parents. The role of grandparents can be very important provided they act as impartial judges and are able to convey this feeling to both parties. Grandchildren, in most cases, prefer to listen to their grandparents rather than their parents, who often find themselves up against a brick wall.
 One important thing, which seems to be missing in the lives of children today, is a sense of family, values, beliefs and principles. This is where the grandparents step in. However, instilling beliefs and values is not as easy as it was fifty or sixty years ago. Then, no questions were asked and there was an implicit sense of trust. With changing times and changing outlooks, children have started to question the validity of everything around them. Globalisation has eroded their sense of belonging and weakened identification with their roots. Science and technology force them to doubt every traditional belief.
 Parents, who have so many demands on their time, are perhaps not in the best position to instil traditional values in their offspring. Children are very demanding and grandparents, without appearing to be pushy, have both the time and the experience to deal with tantrums. They can appease, soothe and impart values with tremendous ease. Any nation’s traditional culture is rich and varied, but how many children recognise this? Grandparents can teach them to value cultural traditions and thereby inform their moral development.
