Il)-Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for cach question.
Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western,
industrialized socicties, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists
of a father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other
types of family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the
family alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As
divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members
under the same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family
members, including grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or
sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together,
they still consider themselves members of the same extended family includes grandparents,
uncles, aunts and cousins.

I1)-Read the passage, and choose the correet 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" 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
2.3% 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.

IV)-Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow.
The Role of the Japanese Mother
‘The focus of the mother is her home and family, with particular attention to the rearing of
children, While most Japanese believe that a woman's place is in the home, women make up
almost 40 percent of the labor force. More than half of these women are married. Many
mothers with small children work only part-time so they can be home when their children are
not in school. The extra income earned by the mother is often used to meet the cost of their
children's education.
Japanese mothers take the responsibility of their child's education and upbringing very
seriously. They seldom confront their preschool children because they want to foster an
intimate, dependent relationship. The purpose of this approach is to get the child to obey
willingly with the mother’s wishes and to shape the child's behavior over a long period of
time. The close nature of the mother-child relationship and the strong parental commitment
help to provide a strong foundation for the child's entry into elementary school.
Mothers are involved directly in with the child's school. Each day a notebook is sent
back and forth between mother and teacher remarking on the child's mood, behavior, health,
and activities both in school and at home. Mothers attend PTA meetings usually twice a
month and are involved with school committee's working on special projects such as
gardening and hot lunch preparation. School is a very stressful and competitive process so the
Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children through so they can get
accepted into the appropriate universities.
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in

Home Life in Japan
It is common in Japan for three generations to
live under the same roof. This is becoming less
common today, but still exists, certainly in the
countryside.
Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their
wives. They are returned a sum of money as pocket
money, otherwise how touse the rest is the
on. The finances of a family are the
lity of the women who handle most of the
household expenses. There are exceptions ininstances when something of value. like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more
women going to work.
Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and the
company demands on them are so great. It means that they often really have very little time or
energy to spend with their children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the
education fall onto the mothers. Mothers play an enormous role in the lives of their children
and the bond is very strong. Babysitters are rarely used and mothers often sleep with their
babies. A mother will also spend hours with children doing school work. Few Japanese men
help with housework. There is more pressure today for this to change.
Most families in Japan today are nuclear families, such as those in the United States, That
is to say that a married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one grandparent.
But for the most part, the Japanese family today looks much like the American family.
36. In Japan, extended families are still popular
A. in big cities B. in the countryside C. everywhere D. in urban areas
37. A Japanese woman is responsible for all of these EXCEPT :
A. raising children B. handle household expenses
C. making decisions on very valuable things D. taking care of children’s school work
38. Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households
A. are under great pressure of work B. are responsible for most household chores
C. handle most of the household expenses _D. stay at home to work as babysitters
39, Nowadays there is a pressure that men should
A. carn more money B. help their wives with housework
C. leave important decisions to their wives D. work harder at work

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 tums choosing outdoor jgEy m= i §
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, afavourite 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
