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 20 th 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
Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
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.
