Edward Patrick Eagan was born on April 26th 1897 in Denver, Colorado, and his father died in a railroad accident when Eagan was only one year old. He and his four brothers were raised by his mother, who earned a small income from teaching foreign languages. Inspired by Frank Marriwell, the hero of a series of popular novels for boys, Eagan pursued an education for himself and an interest in boxing. He attended the University of Denver for a year before serving in the U.S. army as an artillery lieutenant during World War I. After the war, he entered Yale University and while studying there, won the US national amateur heavyweight boxing title. He graduated from Yale in 1921, attended Harvard Law School, and received a Rhodes scholarship to the University of Oxford where he received his A.M. in 1928. While studying at Oxford, Eagan became the first American to win the British amateur boxing championship. Eagan won his first gold medal as a light heavyweight boxer at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. Eagan also fought at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as a heavyweight but failed to get a medal. Though he had taken up the sport just three weeks before the competition, he managed to win a second gold medal as a member of four-man bobsled team at the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Thus, he became the only athlete to win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics. What is the main idea of the passage?

In the US, the number of stay-at-home dads nearly doubled from 1989 to 2012. But many people still find men becoming a full-time caregiver relatively odd. This caused men who make this choice to feel like the odd ones out. Even in cultures where fathers are expected to be more involved than in the past, they are still expected to be the breadwinners of the family. The ideal father is expected to be more engaged in his children’s day-to-day lives than in the past, says Brendan Churchill, a senior lecturer in sociology at Australia's University of Melbourne. Even so, “the male breadwinner model lingers. It is reinforced daily in our culture and it also persists in our social policy frameworks, even though there’s been lots of change - our reference point is still that family of four with a male breadwinner.” he says. This cultural belief that fathers should ‘protect and provide’ can plant an insidious narrative in the heads of stay-at-home dads, even those who feel that they’re best suited to contributing to their families in their role as the primary caregiver. The idea of the male breadwinner does harm to men and fathers, because it prevents them from being engaged or involved,” says Churchill. Some fathers have tried to tap into networks of dads, either in their friendship groups or online. But the results have been mixed. In London, Cameron and his wife did a prenatal course with several other couples. After the course finished, the chat group for the mums stayed active. The dads’ group did not. He did stay in touch with one of the fathers, he says, particularly by bonding over something not baby-related: they support the same football team. Despite the challenges, many stay-at-home dads say they wouldn’t want it any other way. Breaking down stereotypes around stay-at-home dads isn’t just good for fathers who in that role. It’s something that can be empowering and liberating for all fathers. Which of the following can be the title for the passage?

The Stigma of The Stay-at-home-dad

Breaking Down Stereotypes: A Story of a Non-working Father

Fewer Stay-at-home Dads, Fewer Problems?

Changing Society’s Attitudes towards Stay-at-home Fathers

"Working hours are considered among the most important factors when you choose a job". Many people prefer a nine-to-five job, so they can have a proper work-life balance. For example, working parents may expect to work from 9 am to 5 pm so that they can take their children to school in the morning or pick them up in the afternoon.

Finding the right job is very important, but not so easy for job seekers. If you can choose a suitable job for yourself, you are motivated to do that job and develop your career path. Below are some things for people to take into account when choosing the right job. Working hours are considered among the most important factors when you choose a job. Many people prefer a nine-to-five job, so they can have a proper work-life balance. For example, working parents may expect to work from 9 am to 5 pm so that they can take their children to school in the morning or pick them up in the afternoon. Others may consider a job with flexible working hours, so they can do things they enjoy, like pursuing hobbies, educating themselves or spending more time with loved ones.

Instead, you should opt for a job with a salary that can cover your cost of living and support you and your family comfortably. In addition to benefits such as health insurance and paid leave, you should also check if there are any perks on offer, for example, if working from home is allowed or if you get any employee discounts. Finally, it is essential to consider the working environment and opportunities for professional development. If you have supportive managers and colleagues, you will be motivated to work harder and overcome any challenges. Opportunities for growth and promotion in a job should be considered carefully. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

It's advised to carefully consider the professional development prospects of the job.

It is a huge mistake to give priority to salary over other hidden benefits of a job.
