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 statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit 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. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually 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; and the rest, about 7%, are single parents, with at least one child. There are several reasons for the growing number of single-parent households. First, the number of births to unmarried women has increased dramatically. In addition, a substantial number of adults become single parents as a result of divorce. Finally, a small percentage of deaths result in single-parent families. Today, these varied family types are typical and, therefore, normal. In addition, 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 alternative family arrangements. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one. 1. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. The traditional American family B. The nuclear family C. The current American family D. The ideal family 2. The author would most probably agree with which of the following statements? A. There have always been a wide variety of family arrangements in the United States. B. Racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure. C. The ideal American family is the best structure. D. Fewer married couples are having children. 3. How many single people were identified in the survey? A. One third of the total surveyed B. One fourth of the total surveyed C. One fifth of the total surveyed D. Less than one tenth of the total surveyed 4. Who generally constitutes a one-person household? A. A single man in his twenty B. A single woman in her late sixties C. An elderly man D. A divorced woman 5. The passage discuses all of the following reasons for an increase in single-parent households EXCEPT A. a rising divorce rate B. death of one of the parents C. babies born to single women D. increased interest in parenting by fathers Your answers. 1. 2 3 4 5 B.
