听力原文:The teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) is an area in which Australia is internationally recognized to have developed considerable and particular expertise.

听力原文: A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with their children. Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend 3 hours a week purely looking after their children. On much greater disparity than in other countries, like America, Denmark, Italy and France (Q14) , working couples divide the child-care more evenly. According to the author of the study, traditionally, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but stay away from daily child-care activities. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sports event, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school (Q15). In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman's job and a man's hobby. However, the last twenty years have seen the arrival of the so-called "new man"— the man who is willing to share the house-work and child-care (Q16). The "new man" has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids' school plays and he passes on a drink after work so that he can get home in time to read their bedtime story. This new study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia (Q17). Indeed, a poll conducted in the UK indicated that almost 70% of British women thought that men were as good at raising children as women.
According to the passage, mothers in______ spend more time looking after children.
A.France
B.America
C.Denmark
D.Australia
