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 
 Thẩm Tâm Vy, November 28th, 2018 BÀI TẬP ANH 10 – THÍ ĐIỂM ~ UNIT ONE 
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.

Exercise 7: 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 20
th
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 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

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 20
th
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 
Exercise 8: Rearrange the sentences in order to make a meaningful conversation,

when we have grown up. 
B. Nam: Besides cleaning and cooking, my mother also does a lot of other things around 
the house although she goes to work. 
C. Nam: I agree with that saying. All of us take it for granted that our mother is 
responsible for doing all the housework. 
D. Nam: Besides the relationship, we enjoy a friendlier atmosphere in our home all the 
time when we attend to each other. 
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. 
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.” 
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.

or dinner is ready for us to eat.

HOME LIFE IN JAPAN 
 It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is 
becoming less common today, but still exists, certainly in the countryside. 
 Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are returned a sum of money 
as pocket money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a 
family are the responsibility of the women who handle most of the household expenses. 
There are exceptions in instances when something of value, like a car, is being bought. 
This is changing with more women going to work. 
 Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and 
the company demands on them are so great. It means that they often really have very 
little time or energy to spend with their children. The responsibility for raising children, 
overseeing the education fall onto the mothers. 
 Mothers play an enormous role in the lives of their children and the bond is very' 
strong. Babysitters are rarely used and mothers often sleep with their babies. A mother 
will also spend hours with children doing school work. Few Japanese men help with 
housework. There is more pressure today for this to change. 
 Most families in Japan today are nuclear families, such as those in the United States. 
That is to say that a married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one 
grandparent. But for the most part, the Japanese family today looks much like the 
American family. 
36. In Japan, extended families are still popular........ 
A. in big cities B. in the countryside C. everywhere D. in urban areas 
37. A Japanese woman is responsible for all of these EXCEPT........ 
A. raising children B. handle household expenses 
C. making decisions on very valuable things D. taking care of children's school work 
38. Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households........ 
A. are under great pressure of work B. are responsible for most household chores 
C. handle most of the household expenses D. stay at home to work as babysitters 
39. Nowadays there is a pressure that men should........ 
A. earn more money B. help their wives with housework 
C. leave important decisions to their wives D. work harder at work 
40. Most families in Japan nowadays may be........ 
A. extended families B. three-generation families 
C. the same as the traditional ones D. similar to those in the Western
