IV. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
NUCLEAR FAMILY

The traditional definition of a nuclear family is a family unit that includes two married
parents of opposite genders and their biological or adopted children living in the same
residence. However, the term “nuclear family” can mean several different things in today’s
society. Understanding the classic roles in this type of family and how it is defined can help you
understand the relationships in your own family, whether it’s nuclear or not.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term “nuclear family” was first used in
1947, but the concept of a family that consists of just parents and children is much older. This
basic unit of a family’s structure has existed for millennia, but it wasn’t until the 1960s and
1970s that the nuclear family became the majority situation. At that time, industrial economic
booms and rising wages made it possible for young parents to afford their own homes without
living with extended family members. At the same time, better healthcare contributed to the
nuclear family, as elderly members became more self-sufficient and independent for decades
after their children were grown.
Today, the era of the nuclear family is often glamorized, complete with mom in the
kitchen, dad out earning the paychecks, and the kids building a tree house or hosting a stuffed
animal tea party. In reality, there is no ideal type of family, and today’s definition of a nuclear
family can greatly differ from that it was a few decades ago.
21. Nuclear family is ______.
A. a family that includes not only parents and children but also other relatives.
B. a family that includes only the father, mother, and children.
C. a family that includes a person’s parents, spouse, children and siblings.
D. a family that includes children from a previous marriage of the wife, husband, or both
parents.
22. When was the term “nuclear family” officially used?
A. in 1947
B. in 1960
C. in 1970
D. until the 19601970
23. The word “millennia” in paragraph 2 means ______.
A. 200 years

B. 500 years
C. about 10000 years D. about 1000 years
24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?
A. The children should take care of their elderly members after they are grown.
B. The nuclear family didn’t become the majority situation until the 1960s and 1970s.
C. Understanding the roles in nuclear family helps you understand the relationships in your
family.

IV. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
13


My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party

where she doesn’t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and
introduces herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics
or religions. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very
soon she is talking as if she has known the other person for years. I asked her once what her
secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love
to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conversation
going. You have to listen carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So
don’t keep looking at other things in the room while you’re talking to someone.
Another thing that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your
hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?”
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
26. According to my aunt, the most important thing in the conversation was__________.
A. speaking
B. discussing

A. let people talk about themselves B. let people hear about themselves

IV. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:
I’ve always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man. I was apart-time comedian for
years, so I learned how to stand in front of the audiences. It made me sure of myself. I like being
liked and I love making everyone smile.
I’ve lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with my wife Clare and
out two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot of time just singing and dancing around
the house. I grew up with music because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriot – who’s still
playing, by the way. My working day is divided between television and writing cook books,
though TV takes most of my time. I spend about five days a fortnight working on the cooking
programs I appear in. I eat all sorts of things at home but I only buy quality food. When I’m
cooking, I experiment with whatever is in the fridge – it’s good practice for my TV series.
I’m a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I’m a home-loving person really. I don’t like
going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a month. There’s no better than a night at
home playing with the children. I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh
thoughts on cooking usually come to me, so I often write and plan programs then. When I
eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping.
