XIII, Read the following passage carefully. Decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE, and then
answer the questions below.
As in other Middle Eastern societies, the family is the focal point of identity, loyalty, social status, and economic
prospects in Saudi Arabia. Households tend to be large; Saudi women bear 4 children on average, according to
2005 statistics. The roles of men and women are sharply divided in many respects, a reflection of conservative
Islamic practice and local custom. Men are expected to lead the household and provide for its financial well-being.
Women are expected to marry, have children, and raise them according to Islamic principles. Therefore, few Saudi
women work outside the home In 2003 women made up only 20 percent of the labour force, and most of these
were expatriate workers. Saudi women are not permitted to drive or to travel abroad without a male relative's
approval.
Some women and men have expressed opposition to these restrictions, and the government has on occasion
expressed a willingness to gradually provide more rights for women. However, opposition from religious
authorities, a lack of strong support from the ruling family, and the basic conservatism of broad sectors of the Saudi
population have made change very slow.
A. True or False?
1. __The size of the family in Saudi Arabia is often big.
2. __The father and the mother has the same responsibilities and rights in the family.
3. __The father is expected to support the whole family.
4. __In 2003, Saudi women made up only 20 percent of the labor force.
5. __The progress of the women's movement is slow because the majority of the society is not in favour of it.
B. Answer the following questions.
1. How big is the family in Saudi Arabia?
2. On what basis are the roles of men and women divided?
3. What are the responsibilities of men and women in the family?
4. How can a woman be allowed to drive or travel abroad?
5. What is the result of the women's movement?

XIV. Read the following passage carefully. Decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE, and then
answer the questions below.


FAMILY LIFE IN TURKEY
The family is at the heart of daily life in Turkey, whether among Turks, Kurds, or Arabs. Members of extended
families typically live near each other in urban neighborhoods, and most social interactions involve visits to the
homes of relatives - parents, siblings, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. Boys and girls tend to grow up regarding
their same-gender cousins as their closest friends. From early adolescence through adulthood, most people strive to
behave in such a way so as not to bring shame to the family. Because of the strong emphasis on family life, young
people generally seek to get married soon after finishing their education. In practice, this means that women,
especially those in the working classes and rural areas, are expected to give greater priority to taking care of a
husband and rearing children than to pursuing a career outside the home.
The importance of family life is also evident in the acquisition of consumer goods, which are purchased primarily
to enhance family prestige rather than individual status. Thus, the most popular consumer goods are those that can
benefit multiple family members, including appliances and electronic items such as radios, televisions, and
computers, as opposed to goods used exclusively by one family member. The people of Turkey dress like
Europeans and North Americans. Among middle-class and upper-middle-class youth, status is attached to wearing
internationally famous name-brand clothes and shoes.
A. True or False?
1. __The family has an important role in the Turkish society, except Kurds.
2. __In town, members of a multi-generation family live under the same roof.
3. __Most people tend to strive to behave in a good manner from early adolescence through adulthood.
4. __Men and women share the same roles in their family life.
5. __Middle-class and upper-middle-class youth has a tendency tonvear clothes of Western styles.
B. Answer the following questions.
1. What do most social interactions involve especially in town?
2. Who do boys and girls regard as their best friends in Turkey?
3. When do most young people get married?
4. What is the tendency of women when they get married?

5. Why are appliances and electronic items such as radios, televisions, and computers so popular in Turkey?
