II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western,
industrialized societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a
father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of
family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family
alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce
rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.

In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members
under the same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family
members, including grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters
and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still
consider themselves members of the same extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts
and cousins.

III.Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
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.
1. A nuclear family is one that
.

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
B. the division of the extended family
C. fewer jobs in big cities
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
.
A. with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother
B. that has only father or mother living with children
C. in which there are no children
D. that there is only one couple living in with their newborn children

The Role of the Japanese Mother
The focus of the mother is her home and family, with particular attention to the rearing of
children. While most Japanese believe that a woman's place is in the home, women make up
almost 40 percent of the labor force. More than half of these women are married. Many mothers
with small children work only part-time so they can be home when their children are not in
school. The extra income earned by the mother is often used to meet the cost of their children's
education.
Japanese mothers take the responsibility of their child's education and upbringing very
seriously. They seldom confront their preschool children because they want to foster an intimate,
dependent relationship. The purpose of this approach is to get the child to obey willingly with the
mother’s wishes and to shape the child's behavior over a long period of time. The close nature of
the mother-child relationship and the strong parental commitment help to provide a strong
foundation for the child's entry into elementary school.
Mothers are involved directly in with the child's school. Each day a notebook is sent back
and forth between mother and teacher remarking on the child's mood, behavior, health, and
activities both in school and at home. Mothers attend PTA meetings usually twice a month and
are involved with school committee's working on special projects such as gardening and hot
lunch preparation. School is a very stressful and competitive process so the Japanese mother
concentrates all her efforts on getting her children through so they can get accepted into the
appropriate universities.
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in each
blank.
Answer A

B

1. rearing
A. encourage something to develop

2. foster
B. giving an opinion or thought
3. intimate
C. a promise to support someone or something
4.
D. the practice of looking after children until they’re old enough
commitment
E. having a close relationship
5. remarking
Task 2: Read
the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
6. Most Japanese women are housewives.
7. Taking care of children and bringing them up are of great importance to
Japanese mothers.
8. Japanese mothers tend to be very strict to their children at home.
9. Japanese mothers and teachers work together for the children's study
progress and comfort at school.
10. The Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children
through, so the atmosphere at home is very stressful.

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.

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.
36. Regular family meals are a great chance for everyone
