The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately two million B.C and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about one million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed new tools. During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A.D. The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments.

II. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
The changing roles of the modern-day father
Fathers used to act as the ‘breadwinner’ of their family, and as the teacher of moral and religious values.
Today, however, those roles are gradually changing.
Changes in economic roles
More and more women are going out to work and earn money. This increases the budget of the family. Apart from that, there are various social welfare programmes which financially assist mothers in supporting their children. Both these changes have greatly impacted the role of fathers because they make paternal financial support less essential for many families.
Changes in care giving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father's role, modern day fathers tend to be more involved in children's care -giving. They are now spending more time and energy on their children.
Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father's love and attention is as great as that of a mother's. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development .Moreover, children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioral problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally male-dominated societies.
1. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?
A. financial supporter B. teacher of moral values
C. religious educator D. caregiver

A. more important than B. less important than

3. Children who get more fatherly love will.......................... Behavioral problems.
A. never have any B. have fewer C. have more D. have a lot of
4. The changing roles of the father will be seen more clearly in...........................
A. traditionally male-dominated societies B. developed countries
C. economically independent societies D. ethnic groups
