correct answer to each of the questions
Home Life in Japan
It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is becoming less common today,

but still exists, certainly in the countryside. Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are
returned a sum of money as pocket money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances
of a family are the responsibility of the women who handle most of the household expenses. There are
exceptions in instances when something of value, like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more
women going to work.
Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and the company demands
on them are so great. It means that they often really have very little time or energy to spend with their
children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the education fall onto the mothers. Mothers play
an enormous role in the lives of their children and the bond is very' strong. Babysitters are rarely used and
mothers often sleep with their babies. A mother will also spend hours with children doing school work. Few
Japanese men help with housework. There is more pressure today for this to change.
Most families in Japan today arc nuclear families, such as those in the United States. That is to say that a
married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one grandparent. But for the most part, the
Japanese family today looks much like the American family.
1. In Japan, extended families are still popular

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, oF D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20 th century, there
were mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear. An extended family includes mother,

father, children and some other relatives, living in the same house. A nuclear family is composed of
just parents and children living under the same roof.
As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were
forced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large
cities. Now, in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the
national total land mass. Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm.
Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became
more popular. At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families. But besides the
two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of
other living arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single- parent families, in
which a father or mother lives with one or more children. Divorce has also led to blended
families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the
children from former marriage into a new family. There are also some couples who do not want to
have children to form two-person childless families.

A. consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house
B. relatives live with
C. there are only grandparents, parents and their children living in
D. is bigger than extended family
2. The expression “under the same roof” means
A. a house with one roof

B. a house with the roof the same as the wall

C. in the same building

D. under the house

3. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of
A. more divorces

C. fewer jobs in big cities

.

B. the division of the extended family
D. an increase in single-parent families

4. How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20th
century?
A. Two

B. Three

C. Four

D. Five

5. A blended family is a newly-formed family

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, oF D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Building positive family relationships
The ordinary, everyday things that families do together can help build strong
relationships with teenagers. Regular family meals are a great chance for everyone to
chat about their day, or about interesting things that are going on or coming up. If
parents encourage everyone to have a say, no one will feel they’re being put on the
spot to talk. Also, many families find that meals are more enjoyable when the TV isn’t
turned on!
We should all take turns choosing outdoor activities for our families. A relaxing holiday
or weekend away together as a family can also build togetherness. One-on-one time
with the child gives the parents the chance to stay connected and enjoy each other’s
company. It can also be a chance to share thoughts and feelings.
Parents should celebrate the child’s accomplishments, share his disappointments, and
show interest in his hobbies. Sometimes it’s just a matter of showing up to watch the
child play sport or music, or giving him a lift to extracurricular activities.
Family traditions, routines and rituals can help parents and their children set aside
regular dates and special times. For example, we might have a movie night together, a
favourite meal or cooking session on a particular night, a family games afternoon or an
evening walk together.
Agreed household responsibilities give kids of all ages the sense that they’re making
an important contribution to family life. These could be things like chores, shopping or
helping older or younger members of the family.
