	The Incredible Dolphin
Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use the brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are alike in some ways. 
Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things – such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “ speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn. 
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun- just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things that want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent strategy to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins assist the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net. ( 267 words)

	Changing Roles: The Rise of Stay-at-Home Dads. 
As little as 50 years ago, few people in the US questioned the gender roles that had been in place for centuries. Many people assumed that a woman’s place was in the home, and that a man’s main responsibility to his family was to put food on the table. In the 1970s and 1980s, however greater numbers of working women meant that men were no longer the sole breadwinners. A father’s involvement with his family also became more important. Even so, back then, almost no husbands were “ stay-at home dads.” Today, with more career opportunities than ever available to women, the stay-at-home dad trend is on the rise.
A family with a full-time dad has many benefits. If the wife is a career woman, her husband can take some family responsibilities off her shoulders, thereby allowing her to compete more successfully in the workplace. The men share in the joy of parenting in their chidren’s day-to-day experiences. Differences in parenting styles between men and women are also believed to contribute to children’s well-being. Studies suggest that a strong paternal presence encourages greater curiosity, higher self-esteem, and better emotional balance in the child. Societies with strong family units also report lower juvenile crime rates and lower rates of teen pregnancy. Robert Frank, a professor of child development at Oakton Community College in the US notes that working mothers aren’t necessarily absent from the home; many women form a close relationship with their kids regardless.
In reponse to the recent increase in stay-at-home dads, new resources are becoming available. Playgrounds are being planned for dads and their children. When Ryan Warren said that he felt out-of-place in groups that often consisted of all moms, his wife found a local group that hosted events for dads like Ryan and his children. “ My daughter could play with other kids at her age, and I could hang out with other fathers going through the same experience,” said Ryan. “ In the group, we talk about the traditional guy things- sports, tools, cars.”
Moving from a professional career to becoming an at-home parent is another challenge for these modern dads. But some men are finding ways to stay active with their career goals while parenting at home. Dad and blogger Hunter Montgomery is a great example of a father who balances home life with career aspirations. “ I was a full-time stay-at-home dad, but I didn’t plan it that way,” says Hunter. “ My intention was to continue work as a mortgage loan officer from home; it’s the type of work you can easily to remotely.”
Hunter’s wife, Christi, has a career in the US Navy that sometimes requires the family to rolocate. When Hunter and Christi had their first child, they already knew that they would have to move within a year. To help with the transition, Hunter left his job to become a stay-at-home dad. Hunter was always interested in personal finances and being home to watch kids, he studied part-time to complete a master’s degree in Family Financial Planning. Hunter started a blog, Financially Consumed, as a way to stay active in his career by sharing tips and experiences with others. Despite many challenges, Hunter says he has found a way a balance both priorities of his family and his career. “ All three of our kids are in school, and I have some time each day to pursue my interest,” says Hunter. “ I’m loving it.” 
It’s safe to say that stay-at-home dad is here to stay. As more and more dads find new ways to stay active socially and in their careers while parenting, they contribute immensely to the flexibility of the father’s role in the modern family ( 613 words)
