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.

          Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a "housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
          These days, however, more and more wemen work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
          Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
          Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are too far away to help in a regular way.
          More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well. Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more ans more men are becoming househusband every year.
          These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other

Đáp án B

Từ “ họ” ở đoạn 5 ám chỉ ____________.
A. những đứa trẻ dành nhiều thời gian bên bố hơn là bên mẹ.
B. những người chồng nghỉ việc để ở bên con cái.
C. những bố mẹ đi làm bán thời gian .
D. những người bố dành nhiều thời gian cho con cái.
Ta thấy “ They” đứng đầu câu nên ta cần đọc lên câu phía trước nó: “Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: They are called "househusband”” – ( Một vài người chồng thậm chí là có thể nghỉ việc 1 thời gian để ở bên con cái. Đối với những người đàn ông này, có 1 thuật ngữ mới đó là " đàn ông nội trợ”. Họ được gọi là những “người đàn ông nội trợ”) => “ They” chỉ có thể là ám chỉ những người đàn ông nghỉ việc để ở bên cạnh con cái.
