	Every family experiences conflict in its own way. Disagreements are a normal part of being a family and living together. Family discord is often a result of different personalities, misunderstandings and stressful family issues. Understanding that conflict is normal is the first step in learning to deal with these situations. It is important for families to learn appropriate ways to deal with problems that will promote growth and cohesion.
	Parental Conflict
	Parental conflict is common in many families and often leads to friction involving the entire family. Most parental problems revolve around financial matters, infidelity, different views regarding child rearing and family decision making. Homes with high levels of parental conflict often have a tense and hostile environment that can have negative effects on the children. A 1998 study published in "Family Relations" found that children in high-conflict families demonstrated lower levels of well-being in internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors and conflict with peers.
	Poor Family Communication
	Another type of family conflict is lack of proper communication. In today's society, many families communicate superficially and don't have time to share meaningful conversations. The conflict in this arrangement is that there are no opportunities to discuss family values, issues and other important topics; this often leads to disagreements. Communication conflicts are also present in families that lack healthy communication skills and engage in yelling, cursing, blaming and insulting.
	Parent-Child Power Struggles
	A parent-child power struggle can create conflict and stress for the entire family. Having a child who wants to control the parent leads to increased parent frustration and decreased patience when dealing with other family members. The other children often feel that the defiant child is receiving more attention and may start acting out themselves. Power struggles frequently result from different parent and child temperaments or difficult developmental stages, such as the "terrible twos" or adolescence.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow.
The nuclear family is the traditional family structure in the West. This term, originating in the 1950s, describes families consisting of a father, a mother, and their offspring. Under this structure, the family is seen as the basic unit in society; the father functions as the breadwinner and the mother as the homemaker. Nowadays, alternative family types are becoming more prevalent, such as single-parent families, families headed by same-sex parents, and extended families where families live with their kin, which may include several generations. Extended families are less common in North America, where it is not uncommon to place grandparents in retirement homes. 
A Social Trends survey in 2009 reported radical changes in child rearing and marriage practices in the United Kingdom. Figures showed that while 30 percent of women under thirty had given birth by the age of 25, only 24 percent had tied the knot. This marked the first time childbirth had become the first major milestone in adult life, ahead of marriage. In 1971 in the U.K, 3/4 of women were married by the age of 25 and half were mothers.
Judging by the high rates of divorce and the increasing number of children born out of wedlock, it would appear that the family as an institution is in decline. American sociologist Stephanie Coontz believes so too, but for different reasons. Coontz points out that marriages are no longer arranged for political or economic reasons, and children are no longer required to contribute to the family income. Marriages nowadays are founded on love. She believes this shift towards love and free choice has actually weakened both the family by making it optional and the bond between the husband and wife by making it contingent on emotional fulfillment.

	A. In nuclear family, fathers are responsible for household finances.
	B. There are several generations living together in an extended family.

	D. The nuclear type of family has come into existence the West since the 1950s. 
Question 44. It can be inferred from the paragraph 1 that_________.
	A. Nuclear family is one of alternative family types in the West
	B. Extended families are popular in North America
	C. The nuclear family consists of a parent and his or her children
	D. Elderly parents in North America often live in nursing homes
Question 45. What is the main idea of the passage?
	A. How people in the West maintain their marriage
	B. British women tend to give birth without getting married.
	C. Why the family as an institution is in decline nowadays
	D. The changes in family life in Western countries
