Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
The traditional American family
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may
be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so
called traditional American family was always more varied than we had
been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and
religious customs among different American groups, but today diversity is
even more obvious.
The most recent government census statistics reveal that only about one
third of all current American families fits the traditional mold of two parents
and their children, and another third consists of married couples who either
have no children or have none still living at home. An analysis of the
remaining one third of the population reveals that about 20 percent of the
total number of American households are single people, the most common
descriptor being women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage,
about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to
live together; the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at least
one child.
There are several easily identifiable reasons for the growing number of
single-parent households. First, the sociological phenomenon of single-
parent households reflects changes in cultural attitudes toward divorce and
also toward unmarried mothers. A substantial number of adults become
single parents as a result of divorce. In addition, the number of children
born to unmarried women who choose to keep their children and rear them
by themselves has increased dramatically. Finally, there is a small
percentage of single-parent families that have resulted from untimely
death. Today, these varied family types are typical and, therefore, normal.
In addition, because many families live far from relatives, close friends
have become a more important part of family life than ever before. The
vast majority of Americans claim that they have people in their lives whom
they regard as family although they are not related. A view of family that
only accepts the traditional nuclear arrangement not only ignores the
reality of modern American family life, but also undervalues the familial
bonds created in alternatives family arrangements. Apparently, many
Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than
the traditional one.

A. The traditional American family

A. One third of the total surveyed
B. One fourth of the total surveyed
