The invention of the phonograph happened quite by accident. Thomas Edison moved to Menlo Park, New
Jersy in 1876, where he established an industrial research laboratory. There, Edison was working on a
carbon telephone transmitter to improve the existing Bell telephone system. In that laboratory a year later,
Edison invented the phonograph while he was trying to improve a telegraph repeater. He attached a
telephone diaphragm to the needle in the telegraph repeater; in this way, he was able to reproduce a
recording that could be played back. After he made some improvements to the machine, he tested it. He

PART 1: For questions 1-5, listen a family expert talking about how the roles of men and
women in families have changed and choose the best answer. You will hear the conversation twice.
Today we’ll discuss the changes in roles performed by men and women in the family. Changes in
family life have made men’s and women’s roles more alike than ever as the wives are also be
responsible for the family finances.
Family experts say the old notions of who does what in families may be more and more unclear.
Men are not the sole breadwinners for the family like they used to be and they are becoming
much more involved in housework and parenting.
Because men’s and women’s roles in families have become more alike, for couples to balance
their work and family life, perhaps, equally shared parenting’ is the best solution. Equally
shared parenting’ means the conscious and purposeful sharing’ in four domains of life:
1. Child-raising: Both parents have equal responsibility to nurture and to take care of the children;
2. Breadwinning: Husband’s and wife’s careers are equally important;
3. Housework: The household chores should be equally divided between the wife and the husband;
4. Recreation: Both partners have an equal chance and time for their own interests, and of
course, to be with each other.
Experts have found out that families that can keep to those four principles of’equally shared
parenting’ become happier and the divorce rate is the lowest amongst them. Part 2 Audio Script:
