35、re the functions of different heater brandsCMen are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.  The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly pict

36、ure, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a

37、 day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spe

38、nd just one hour and seven minutesa great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver

39、as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.  “I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen no

40、w.”Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.

41、en on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eatas I did when I was a childat least two meals a day together as a family.

45、of the Past for WomenD. Cooking into a New Trend for MenDTo Friend or Not to FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when were in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become ext

46、ensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, conten

47、t to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves

48、about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “frien

49、d” request from a parent or family member.Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you

50、 do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessar

51、ily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 57.
