Question

補(bǔ)全下列句子，每空詞數(shù)不限。

     Nowadays, a new term called SAHDs (stay-at-home dads) is becoming very popular. In the UK, there are 600,000 men who stay at home as full-time husbands. The number is 10 times more than 10 years ago. In the USA, there are at least 1.7 million unemployed (失業(yè)的) married men who depend on their
wives.      
     SAHDs have increased in number around the world. There are three reasons to explain this.
     First, the bad economic situation (經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢) has caused the decline (衰退) in men’s traditional
working fields, which has led to a large number of unemployed people.
     Second, the social and cultural progress provides a possibility for such a change in families.
     Third, the improvement in women’s education has also given them the chance to show their talents in
work. Therefore, women are able to support their families.
     According to a survey in the UK, most stay-at-home fathers said the reason for this was that the
mother made more money. The survey also suggested the men that stayed at home were happier with this
than the women, with 75% of fathers saying they were lucky to spend so much time with their children.
