第一节 阅读理解

　　Raising children has traditionally been a mother's role.People think that kids have to be with mothers mostly, but the modern sociology says when a father is not involved in life, it leads to problems.Children abandoned or ignored by their fathers do not succeed as well as children in families where both parents are involved.

　　At the River House in Maryland, a church community is running a program called the Men's Retreat with the purpose of helping men become better fathers.Here fathers can get parental advice.The program is also open to children who don't have fathers in their lives.For them, the program is an opportunity to interact (互动) with male role models.

Businessman Pavel says though the Men's Retreat may take up some of his time to earn money, it has been a good opportunity to spend quality time with his son.He has realized that for boys, Father is the first teacher.And the gathering is also a great chance to think about how to improve the relationship with his wife.
