Husbands help with the children now. They stay more in the home and have more
interest in the home. We shall give some examples of what husbands do in consequence,

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.
Crocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Baby crocodiles have
special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shell.
Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They spend most of their time lying around in the
mud or the rivers. The crocodile's long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming.
It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow
will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected
against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the
way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side. With its rows of terrible
pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless man, and
then holds it below the water until it drowns.
The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid (胆怯的) and because of this, the people of
West Africa, where it lives, sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there
were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried down in
the earth on which London is built.
