THE FAMILY
The family in the Western world has changed greatly during the last two centuries. Social
scientists say that this change in the family is one of the important changes from a traditional
society to a modern society.
Before the 19
th
century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Young people
did not decide who they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children.
3
By the 19
th

century, most young people could choose the person they wanted to marry. A
marriage joined two people and not two families. Two people could get married because they loved
each other, not just because their families wanted them to marry.
At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their
children. They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education. Before this, most
people did not go to school. Later, people realized that education was necessary for a good life.
Many parents decided that they should have fewer children so that they could give each one a
good life. More fathers worked outside the home for money. Mothers stayed at home and had
greater control of the children and the home than fathers had.
Family life is changing even faster in the United States today. Each year there is almost one
divorce for every two marriages. Many children grow up in a home with a mother but no father,
and the mothers generally have to work outside the home to take care of the family.
Some social scientists think that soon there will be no family life in the United States as we
know it today. They do not know how people will live. Others think that society needs families,
and we will always have them.
37. The change in the Western family in the last two centuries is _______________.
A. rather small.
B. the most important.
C. one from a traditional to a modern society.
D. an important change in the modern society.
38. After 1800, people usually got married _______________.
A. because their families wanted them to.
B. to join the two families.
C. to join two people.
D. because they loved each other.
39. Many parents decided to have fewer children ______________.
A. to give them a better life.
B. to take care of their health.
C. to give them an education.
D. to give them greater control.

40. It can be inferred about family life in the United States today that ______________.
A. there is almost one divorce each year.
B. there are more divorces.
C. many children don’t have fathers.
D. the mothers have to stay home to take care of the family.
