The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than
an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we
had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among
different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit
the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none
still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is

single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total,
consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually
divorced parents, with at least one child.
1) With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A. the traditional American family B. The nuclear family.
C. The ideal family. D. The current American family.
2) The writer implies that .
A. there has always been a wide variety of family arrangements in the U.S
B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure.
C. the ideal American is the best structure.
D. fewer married couples are having children.
3) Who generally constitutes a one-person household?
A. A single man in his twenties B. A single woman in her late sixties
C. An elderly man D. A divorced woman.
4) According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children
represent
A. 7 percent of households B. 20 percent of households

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below:
Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of
exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles
and stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because
you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for
people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start
slowly and build up gently. Doing too much and too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t
used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to

your doctor and ask his/her advice.
Ideally, you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be
doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This
is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect.
However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

A. once a week B. at least two or three times a month
