Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a
"housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family.
He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework.
And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more wemen work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking
dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do
the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

 Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband
always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the
husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are too far away
to help in a regular way.
More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center.
The problem with thjis kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new
word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming
househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children
better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in
their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Question 8: These changes in the Amercan home may
A. not happen . B. not change the children at all.
C. help families. D. cause problems for a marriage.
Question 9. It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that .

D. grandparents can help care the children in a regular way.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped
near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not
a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centres, the
problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms
surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of
Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates
and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation
canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water
supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the
Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the
water. The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire
disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and
industrial water.
The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the
possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was

 completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and
from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity.
Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. Southeast
England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and
has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.
In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to
provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes, including
distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this
purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States. Although these
processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.

The Internet has truly transformed how students do their homework. (46) homework today still
means spending time in the library, it’s for a different reason. Rather than using books for research, students
today are (47) to the Internet to download enormous amounts of data available online. In the past,
students were limited to their school’s (48) of books. In many cases, they got to the school
library and found out that someone had already taken the books they needed. Nowadays, such inconvenience
can be avoided since the Internet never runs out of information. Students, however, do have to
(49) sure that the information they find online is true. Teachers have also benefited from the homework
which is done on the Internet. They do not need to carry students’ papers around with them any more. This is
because online (50) allow students to electronically upload their homework for their teachers to read
and mark. Of course, this also means that students can no longer use the excuse that the dog ate their
homework!
