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.

II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give
us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University.
What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the
doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely
to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with us but
have no idea what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important
information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This
way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the
situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to
accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you
and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.
1. According to the passage, the information doctors give us ____.
A. is about 50% wrong
B. is only 80% correct

C. is mostly forgotten
D. is usually not enough
2. The word “complicated” in the passage is opposite in meaning to ____.
A. good
B. quick
C. short
D. simple
3. The author says that when people consult a doctor, ____.
A. they always believe that their situation is serious
B. they are interested in knowing what they should do
C. they only want to know what is wrong with them
D. they usually have a family member with them
4. The word “absorb” in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. digest
B. inhale
C. swallow
D. take in
8


5. The author suggests recording the consultant in order to ____.
A. play it to your family members to get their opinions
B. refer to it later to better understand your condition
C. replay it to write down any important information
D. use it as evidence against your doctor if necessary
III. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Street Children Volunteer Programme in Delhi

John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left
their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it
into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the
world. If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell
rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very
good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two
bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to
live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we
couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we
really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the
windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day,
and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we moved.'
