Passage 1
Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized societies, 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.
Page | 6
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.

Passage 2
The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20 th 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 2.5% 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.
Question 111. A nuclear family is one that .
A. consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house
B. relatives live with
C. there are only grandparents, parents and their children living in

C. fewer jobs in big cities D. an increase in single-parent families
Question 114. How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20 th century?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
Question 115. A blended family is a newly-formed family .
A. with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother
B. that has only father or mother living with children
C. in which there are no children
D. that there is only one couple living in with their new-born children
Passage 3
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 to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a family are the responsibility of the women who handle most of
the household expenses. There are exceptions in instances 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.
Question 116. In Japan, extended families are still popular .
A. in big cities B. in the countryside C. everywhere D. in urban areas
Question 117. 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
Question 118. 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
Question 119. Nowadays there is a pressure that men should .
A. earn more money B. help their wives with housework
C. leave important decisions to their wives D. work harder at work
Question 120. Most families in Japan nowadays may be .
A. extended families B. three-generation families
C. the same as the traditional ones D. similar to those in the Western
Passage 4
Page | 8
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 turns choosing outdoor 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, a favourite 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 older or younger members of the family.
Question 121. Regular family meals are a great chance for everyone .
A. to have an opportunity share their daily activities

Page | 19
Reflexology is a natural treatment dating to ancient times. It is based on the idea that there are zones, or areas, in
the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. For example, the tips of the toes or fingers are
related to head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart and chest. A reflexologist applies pressure to
specific areas in a patient’s feet and hands to relieve symptoms or pain in other related areas.
This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problem, and it does not involve any medication.
Yet many find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for pain, headaches,
and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood
circulation, and relaxes muscles. It promotes the natural, healthy functions and well-being of the entire body. Reflexology
is often used along with other types of treatments, including conventional medicine.
This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologist’s only tools are his or her hands. Pressure is strong, but not
uncomfortable. It’s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.
A typical treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session. A
patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair, and then to relax as the
reflexologist warms the patient’s feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot. The
last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.
After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular programme of treatment to maintain good
health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five – minute reflexology session into every day for long – term
relief of stress and pain.

Passage 3
A virus is a tiny germ that can infect the body. Different kinds of viruses can also infect animals and plants. There
are thousands of kinds of viruses. There are about 100 kinds of viruses that cause colds. Viruses are much too small for
scientists to see even with an ordinary microscope. Scientists must use a powerful electron microscope to see viruses. A
virus is a pretty simple thing. It has two basic parts. It has an outer part called a protein coat. Inside the coat, it has genes.
Genes are tiny structures that tell plants and animals how to grow and what shape to be.
Each kind of virus infects, or attacks, a different type of cell. All parts of your body are made of units called cells.
Cold viruses head for the lining of your nose or throat. Sometimes the cold virus spreads to the air passages that lead to
your lungs. When a cold virus gets into your nose cells, it tries to take over. First, it takes off its protein coat. Next, it lets
its genes go free. The genes command your nose cells to make more of the virus. The virus actually uses part of you to
make copies of itself. More and more viruses grow in the cells that make up the lining of your nose. They burst out of
one nose cell and head for other nose cells. This is how the infection spreads. An infected nose cell dies after the new
viruses burst out. As your nose cells die, your head feels stuffy. Your nose starts to run. Dying cells make you feel sick.

get the virus by touching what you have touched and then touching their nose, eyes, or lips. You can help keep a cold
virus from spreading by covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. You should also wash your hands often.
Different viruses spread in other ways. The rabies virus is in the saliva (spit) of an infected dog. The dog spreads
the virus when it bites. Mosquito bites can also spread viruses. West Nile Virus goes from birds to mosquitoes when the
mosquitoes bite the birds. The mosquitoes then spread the virus when they bite humans and other animals.
The virus that causes AIDS is in blood and other body fluids. The viruses that cause cold sores and chicken pox
get in through the skin. Other viruses live in food and get into people who eat the food.

Reading 1
Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770. His childhood was unhappy. His father drank too much.
Beethoven's musical talent was obvious from childhood. He quickly became a talented performer on the piano. In 1792,
he moved to Vienna, Austria, to study with Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. Soon Beethoven was playing music that he
wrote himself. Many people admired his powerful, dramatic music.
Beethoven was often ill or depressed. He was unable to find a woman who would marry him. Just as he was
becoming very successful, he started to lose his hearing. Deafness is the worst fate for a musician. Beethoven's
performing career was over.
Despite Beethoven's hearing loss, he still wrote music. The music he wrote became even better. His music was
richly expressive and revealed feelings such as joy and sadness. He created one bold masterpiece after another. Besides
piano music, Beethoven wrote string quartets (pieces for four stringed instruments) and other kinds of chamber music.
Chamber music is written for small groups, and people can play it in their homes or in small halls. Beethoven also wrote
songs, two masses, an opera, and nine outstanding symphonies.
Beethoven studied works by Haydn, German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, and Austrian composer Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart. Then he broke their rules and made music that was like no one else's. It was emotional and challenging.
Beethoven wanted his music to express ideas as well as emotions. He wanted it to praise freedom and equality and other
high ideals.
Some of Beethoven's well-known achievements are the Moonlight Sonata for piano, the Fifth Symphony, and the
Ninth Symphony. The Fifth Symphony has a famous four-note opening, da-da-da-dum. The Ninth Symphony ends with a
triumphant chorus called "Ode to Joy." Beethoven's music set a standard that later composers measured their work by.

Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy, spine-tingling, healing - all kinds of things. But what is it? Some
people define it as an artful arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or
low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music.
Music, like language, is a uniquely human form of communication. As with language, there are many different
kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of
music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way.
What we think of as music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound
strange to someone from another culture, and vice versa. It might not even sound like music. In Indonesia, gamelan
orchestras play music on gongs, drums, and xylophones. These aren't the instruments you'd find in a typical orchestra in
North America.
Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. Music from one
part of the world influences music from another part. For example, gamelan music from Indonesia influenced 20th-
century American composers such as John Cage.
No one knows for sure when music began. Perhaps while people were working, they began to chant or sing to
make the work go faster. People who were repeating movements - picking crops or rowing boats, for example - could sing
or chant in time to the work. Navajo Indians, for example, had corn-grinding songs. Many cultures developed work songs.
Over time, people developed musical instruments. They might have started by clapping their hands and stamping
their feet. Sticks and objects that rattled could have replaced the human body as early instruments. Both instruments and
music became more complex with time.
Today, many cultures divide music into art music and music of the people. Art music, which we call classical
music, is more complicated than the music of the people - folk music and popular music. Art music is generally harder to
write and perform. Musicians who perform it need a lot of training. Popular and folk styles typically are easier to create,
perform, and understand.

Music can move the soul. It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us down, but some music can
make us wild! How does music affect us? Music is used in a variety of ways. It is used in the medical field as a source of
research and as a sort of therapy as well. Music has been used as therapy for seizures, to lower blood pressure, treat
mental illness, treat depression, aid in healing, treat stress and insomnia and premature infants. Musicologist Julius
Portnoy found that it can change heart rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy levels, and digestion,
positively or negatively, depending on the type of music. Calming music, such as classical music was found to have a very
calming effect on the body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to the effect of a
dose of valium. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music. The music in these studies is not the
"lyrics", but the music itself, the melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, the chords. Conversely music has also been
documented to cause sickness. The right, or wrong music, rather, can be like a poison to the body. Studies have been done
on plants where loud hard rock music, for instance, killed plants and soft classical music, make the plants grow faster.
Music is very powerful, like a drug and can even be an addiction. According to Patty Hearst, a researcher on music, it was
documented that music was used in the aid of brainwashing some people. In the book,” Elevator Music” by Joseph Lanza,
it was stated that certain types of music over prolonged periods in certain conditions were shown to cause seizures.
