IX. Read the text and questions below. Mark the correct letter A, B, C or D for each question. 
The American family unit is 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 agriculture to industrial one, peop1e were 
forced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large 
city. Now, in fact three quarter of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the national total 
land mass. Of the 118 million in the labor force, only 3 million still work on the farm. 
Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear has become 
more popular. At present, 55% of the family 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 27 other 
arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single-parent family, in which a father or a 
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 
anew family. There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two-person 
childless families.
