3 根据下面资料，回答题
The cohesiveness( 内聚力)of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac-rices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in-cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character-ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup-port the family;wives are "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.
The women´ s definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife´ s response:
I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him,loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak-ing, when it´s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.
To husbands, a good wife is someone who is:
Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don´ t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don´ t know if this makes much sense.
These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.
Despite__________，shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life．

A．traditional beliefs about marriage

B．lack of control over time

C．a very clear division of roles

D．the demands of work
