E “In the old days,”as one wife said,“the husband was the husband and the wife was the wife.”In the past husbands each had their own way of going on; the wives’ jobs were to look after them. “The wives wouldn’t stand for it nowadays. Husbands help with the children now. They stay more, as well as have more interest, at home.” We shall give some examples of what husbands do, firstly, in sharing work with their wives; and secondly, in their largely independent field of house repairs. “Some husbands, as well as doing much of the heavy work in the home, carrying the coals and emptying the rubbish, act as assistants to their wives for at least part of the day.”Mr Hammond washes up the dishes every night and lays the breakfast for the morning. Mr Clark said that on Sunday mornings he usually hoovered（吸尘）around and read plays aloud for his wife while she did a bit of washing.

D In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago. About 300 B．C．an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(监视). Some animals were fully protected．Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy. The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A．D．1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year.
