Part 3. Reading comprehension
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family
refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to
their relatives, as well – such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and
particularly indigenous societies, the extended family unit rather than the nuclear family unit is the
most common basic form of social organization.
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one
or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single
house or other dwelling. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper
or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations
not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern,
African, and American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic
unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes
people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a
group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents,
parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen
leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people
simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a
single group.
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in
nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple
generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose
high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the
American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries
continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in
the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The
rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change to the
traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.
83. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones
B. The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones
C. A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones
D. The changes of family types over times
84. The word “dwelling” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. town B. home C. city D. roof
85. The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to___________.

family is the family ___________.
A. number B. size C. length D. width
87. According to anthropologists, in patriarchal societies extended families were mostly controlled by
___________.
A. males B. females C. parents D. eldest members

A. American people have lived in nuclear families since the 20th century .
B. In developing countries, there are multiple generations living in the same roof.
C. Nowadays there is an increasing number of childless couples.
