II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
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.
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.

III. Read the passage, and choose the correct 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 20th 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 livingunder 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.
1. 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
D. is bigger than extended family
2. The expression “under the same roof” means
A. a house with one roof B. a house with the roof the same as the wall
C. in the same building D. under the house
3. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of .
A. more divorces B. the division of the extended family
C. fewer jobs in big cities D. an increase in single-parent families
4. How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20th century?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
5. 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 newborn children
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 parentalcommitment 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 each blank.
Task 2: Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
T F
6. Most Japanese women are housewives.
7. Taking care of children and bringing them up are of great importance to
Japanese mothers.
8. Japanese mothers tend to be very strict to their children at home.
9. Japanese mothers and teachers work together for the children's study
progress and comfort at school.
10. The Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children
through, so the atmosphere at home is very stressful.
D. SPEAKING
Rearrange the sentences in order to make a meaningful conversation, writing the letter (A-H) in each blank.
1. ___ A. Nam: It’s not only for our mother's benefits but it also makes us more independent when we have grown up.
2. ___ B. Nam: Besides cleaning and cooking, my mother also does a lot of other things around the house although she goes to work.
3. ___ C. Nam: I agree with that saying. All of us take it for granted that our mother is responsible for doing all the housework.
4. ___ D. Nam: Besides the relationship, we enjoy a friendlier atmosphere in our home all the time when we attend to each other.
5. ___ E. Mai: So does my mother. My father, my brother and I try to share the burden so that my mother can follow her own interests.
6. ___ F. Mai: I’ve just read a saying about household chores, Nam. It’s “Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.”
7. ___ G. Mai: It’s very useful for our future life. And I think we will have better relationship when we share household chores with one another.
8. ___ H. Mai: Yeah, when we come home from school, our house is clean and tidy and lunch or dinner is ready for us to eat.

Househusbands
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the article on American families. In general I agree with it, but there are some important things it left out. It didn't tell the reader much about the life of a househusband. It's not an easy life. I know, because I'm now a househusband myself. A househusband has to change many of his ideas and his ways.
First of all, he has to change the way he thinks about time. Before I was a househusband, I worked full-time for the New York Times. I was a reporter, and time was always important. We had to finish our article quickly and give them to the editor. Everyone was always in a hurry. This is the way, many other men work, too. Businessmen, lawyers, bankers, and doctors all have to work quickly.
At home it's different. The househusband cannot be in a hurry all the time. If you rush around, you will make everyone unhappy! The children will be unhappy because they don't understand. For them, time is not important. Your wife will be unhappy because the children are unhappy. You will be unhappy, too, because they are all unhappy. So you have to learn to slow down. That is the first and most important rule for a househusband.
There is something else the househusband must learn. You must learn to show how you feel about things. At work, men usually do not talk about feelings. If they do, people think they are strange. So, many men are not used to telling anyone about their feelings. They do not know how to talk about their anger, worries, or love. But children need to know how you feel. They need to know how much you love them. If you are angry, they need to know why. Your wife also needs to know about your feelings. If you do not say anything, your family may get the wrong idea. Then there may be serious problems.
People talk a lot about househusbands these days. Usually they talk about men doing the housework, the cooking, cleaning, and shopping. But in my opinion, these are the easiest things to learn. It was much harder for me to change the way I think and the way I act with my family. I think, other men will also find this harder, but, like me, will find it necessary if they want to have a happy family!
