Changes in care giving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern day
fathers tend to be more involved in children’s care giving. They are now spending more time and energy on their
children. Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the influence of a father’s
love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children develop a sense of their place in the
world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover, children who receive more love from their
fathers are less likely to have behavioral problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in traditionally
male-dominated societies.
Question 28. Which of these is NOT the traditional role of a father?
A. financial supporter B. teacher of moral values C. religious educator D. caregiver
Question 29. Social welfare programmes ___________.
A. support families financially B. help mothers with domestic abuse
C. educate fathers about their responsibilities D. train caregivers
Question 30. The influence of a mother’s love is ___________ that of the father’s.
A. more important than B. less important than
C. much greater than D. as important as
Question 31. Children who get more fatherly love will _______ behavioral problems.
A. never have any B. have more C. have fewer D. have a lot of
Question 32.The changing roles of the father will be seen more clearly in ___________.
A. ethnic groups B. developed countries
C. economically independent societies D. traditionally male-dominated societies

The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year, so you can save a lot if you are flexible
with your travel dates and avoid peak holiday times. It can be also cheaper if you book well in advance. Before your
departure, make sure you get as much information about your destination as you can. Find out if you require any
special visas or permits to travel there. Think about spending money as well. Will you be able to access your own
money easily enough or will you need to take cash with you? Think about eating larger lunches and smaller evening
meals to help your money go further, as lunch is generally cheaper. Make sure that you keep sufficient identification
with you at all times. It may also help to email a copy of your passport details to yourself, in case it is lost or stolen.
Label your suitcases clearly so that they can be easily identified as yours. It can be useful to store a copy of your
itinerary in a prominent place in your suitcase so that the airline will know where to find you if your luggage gets lost.
Be sure to pack any medication or other essential items in your hand luggage. If your flight is delayed, or your luggage
is lost, these can be difficult to obtain in an airport or foreign country.
Question 20.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Travel procedures B. Travel advice

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will study
most regular classes such as maths, science and history online.
Students will probably learn these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students have problems
with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live video conferencing. Expert teachers from learning

will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each other. They will help students with
group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the world they
live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities.

world years before.
