【推荐1】What roles do your parents play in your family?     1     But in modern families, mothers have their own careers, and fathers also help out when it comes to doing household chores and taking care of the kids.

This is probably why recently, the slogan “Loved by kids, approved by mums” on a brand of cereal (麦片粥) from US company Kellogg’s led to a heated discussion online. Some US campaign groups complained that the slogan was biased (歧视) against stay-at-home men.     2    

Indeed, the roles of men and women have changed over time. As the number of dual-income households increases, more and more men have changed their views on their roles in families, accounting for a more equal distribution of labor between mothers and fathers. And many choose to be stay-at-home dads.     3    They have to struggle with career and childcare, but also face doubts over whether they’re doing enough. “    4    You’re also measured by how much time you’re able to spend with your kids and how much you’re able to do with your family.” Matt Schneider, co-founder of a US-based network serving for stay-at-home dads, told CBS News.

However, there is no need for stay-at-home fathers to feel cast down.     5    There are always special moments that make it worthwhile for them. “When my son crawls towards me, hugs me and says ‘I love you’, I wonder if he knows what that means.” a stay-at-home dad called Scott Durkin told ABC News. “But you get all … warm inside.”

Nowadays, it is common     1     more and more high school students open their own MicroBlogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another, it is a useful way     2    (release) their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one’s MicroBlog will take a lot of time andenergy, which should     3    (use) to study.

In my view, I am greatly in favor     4     this activity. Today the Internet is playing     5     important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the information age, we need to learn to make use of this     6    (value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What’s more, opening and organizing MicroBlogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computers and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful MicroBlog. As a result, we improve ourselves while     7    (organize) our MicroBlogs.

In fact, the MicroBlog     8    (oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that     9    (matter). We should take the     10    (advantage) and avoid some bad effects.
