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 wereforced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs These jobs were mainly in thelarge cities Now, in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% ofthe national total land mass Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work onthe farm

Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear familybecame more popular At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families But besidesthe two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include avariety of other living arrangements because of divorce There is an increase in single-parentfamilies, in which a father or mother lives with one or more children Divorce has also led toblended families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again andcombine the children from former marriage into a new family There are also some couples who

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 parental commitment 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.

1 rearing

2 foster

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!

When your body uses the oxygen from your blood, it makes carbon dioxide Your bodydoesn’t need this carbon dioxide, so the blood takes it away Other tubes, called veins, carry theblood with carbon dioxide in it back to your heart The blood from our body goes into the rightside of your heart Then the right side of your heart pumps this blood into your lungs whichremove the carbon dioxide from the blood When you breathe out, the carbon dioxide goes backinto the air

IV Read the passage and fill in the columns with the food that has the corresponding function.

Foods to boost your brainpower

Like everything else in your body, the brain cannot work without energy The ability toconcentrate and focus comes from the adequate, steady supply of energy in the form of glucose

in our blood to the brain We can achieve this by choosing whole grains such as “brown” cereals,bread and brown pasta which release glucose slowly into the bloodstream, keeping you mentallyalert throughout the day

Essential fatty acids which assist in the development and function of the brain and nervoussystem cannot be made by the body and must be obtained through diet Oily fish contains fattyacids in a ready-made form, which enables the body to use it easily The main sources of oilyfish include salmon, trout, herring, and sardines Low fatty acid levels have been linked to ahigher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and memory loss

Evidence suggests that the consumption of blueberries and tomatoes may also be effective inimproving or delaying short-term memory loss or Alzheimer's

Certain B vitamins - B6, B12 and folic acid - are known to reduce levels of homocysteine inthe blood Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with increased risk of stroke, thinkingimpairment and Alzheimer’s disease

Telephone Songs

The first telephone song appeared in 1899 and was called Hello My Baby In the song, a man

phones his girlfriend every morning to talk to her But first he has to speak to the operator and hehas to talk very loudly because the line is so bad Phone calls appeared in a lot of pop songs inthe 20th century, like Stevie Wonder’s I Just Called to Say I Love You in 1984 The famous

American soul singer’s song was number one in several countries, like the USA, Britain,Germany and Italy and won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1985

In the last few years, phone songs have been about mobile phone

calls The most famous is Lady Gaga’s Telephone A woman is

dancing at a club when her boyfriend calls ‘I can’t hear you and I’m

busy,’ she says The boyfriend rings again and again but the woman

doesn’t answer because she is dancing and having fun

networking, like New Friend Request by Gym Class Heroes But they will still be about love!

want to work with If no coach pushes his/her button, the artist is
