Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and brings forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, （25）      others worry, (26)      (wonder) whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some m
en who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
    (27)        the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to(28)      of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts(29)      (make) to educate fathers in this remobilization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
    It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as (30)     (great) as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems(31)    (require) complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation; on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing number of women ar
e working outside the home, the father is still thought by many (32)      the breadwinner in the household.

Dear helpful Hannah,
I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smart phone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado, it was a great trip except for one problem. He has a constant urge (33)        for next messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He’s so addicted to it that he just can’t stand the idea (34)        there may be an important text. He can’t help checking even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves (35)            any small amount of
boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he know he shouldn’t. The temptation to see (36)        is connecting him is just too great. When I ask him to put down the phone and stop (37)        (ignore) me, he say, “In a minute.” but still checks to see if (38)        has posted something new on the Internet. Our life (39)        (interrupted). If we go somewhere and I ask him to have the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawal symptom. May this dependency on his smart phone has become more than an everyday problem.
    I recently read an article about “nomophobia,”(40)        is a real illness people can’t suffer from the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam maybe suffering from this illness because he feels anxious if he doesn’t have his phone with him, even for a short time.
  Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much trouble!
