問題詳情:
Toddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee—twenty-two-year-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.
Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminderand his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after all the children,” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”
But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “ Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recognized.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plans to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.
What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?
“ Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now,” he says, “though they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed—so that’s good!”

A. He was the best among all the applicants.
B. He was the only man who applied for the job.
C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.
D. He could do things the way women would do them.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” ( Para 2)?
A. Instructor. B. Superior. C. Baby-sitter. D. Coach.
27. What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?
A. It has been women specific.
B. It requires people’s understanding.
C. It takes time to make some changes.
D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.
