Read
the passage and choose the correct anwser to each of the following questions
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 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 as often
divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular. At
present, 55 % of the families in the U.S 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 live 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.
