Margeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, "Is your mom dead?"

She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux's dad who did that.

Margeaux reached for her computer, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of information with her mother's name and job titles, from CEO at Salesforce.com to her present role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. "See, my mom's not dead," she said. "My mom's famous."

Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She is not trapped by an uneasy feeling these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is glad that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.

Long before neither of her kids was born, Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a talk about how they would divide household and childcare duties. "I said, 'Listen, one of the things that's really important to me is to have a parent at home full time, '" she remembers. "'And it can't be me.'"

Michael Wolberg, 43, worked for years for a medicine company. But when Margeaux was born, he offered to give up his job and became a stay-at-home dad. And he has never felt sorry for himself. Spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.

"She's spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further," he says, "and this lifestyle of cleaning the floor and changing diapers(尿片)and all kinds of other things are not for her."

1.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux felt 　　　　 .

A. sorry for her mother　　 B. proud of her mother

C. hurt by her classmates　　 D. thankful to her mother

2.According to the passage, Kirsten 　　　　 .

A. finds it hard to get her kids' understanding　　 B. is as successful in her career as her husband

C. feels sorry for not helping in her kids' school　　 D. is glad to have set a good example to her kids

3.Why did Michael choose to be a stay-at-home dad?

A. He was tired of his job.

B. He was forced to leave the job.

C. He is more suitable by nature to stay at home.

D. He and his wife reached an agreement after the kids' birth.

4.From the passage we can learn that 　　　　 .

A. Kirsten can achieve greater success in her career

B. Kirsten is neither a good wife nor a qualified mother

C. Michael loves his kids better than his wife does

D. Michael regrets making the decision to stay at home
