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.

of the total number of American households is 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 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with
at least one child.

READING COMPREHENSION :
Read the following passage carefully then choose the correct anwer :
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.A
little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language.Human beings
have been writing for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking for much longer.When writing did
develop, it was derived from and represented speech, albeit imperfectly Even today there are spoken
languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write Any
human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being
cannot be prevented from doing so
On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of
society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing sytsems never learn
to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly
6.The word "writing " means
A words B books C experiences D novels
7 According to the passage, writing
A is imperfect, but less so than speech B represented speech, but not perfectly
