In comparison with most other places in the world, family identity is rather weak in Britain, especially in England Of course, the family unit is still the basic living arrangement for most

people But in Britain this definitely means the nuclear family There is little sense of extended family identity, except among some racial minorities This is reflected in the size and composition

of households

It is unusual for adults of different generations within the family to live together The average number of people living in each household in Britain is lower than in most other European countries The proportion of elderly people living alone is similarly high

Significant family events such as weddings, births and funerals are not automatically accompanied by large gatherings of people It is still common to appoint people to certain roles on such occasions, such as ‘best man’ at a wedding, or godmother and godfather when a child is born But for most people these appointments are of sentimental significance only They do not imply lifelong responsibility In fact, family gatherings of any kind beyond the household unit are rare For most people, they are confined to the Christmas period

Even the stereotyped nuclear family of father, mother and children is becoming less common Britain has a higher rate of divorce than anywhere else in Europe except Denmark and the proportion of children born outside marriage has risen dramatically and is also one of the highest (about a third of all births) However, these trends do not necessarily mean that the nuclear family is disappearing Divorces have increased, but the majority of marriages in Britain (about 55%) do not break down In addition, it is notable that about three-quarters of all births outside marriage are officially registered by both parents and more than half of the children concerned are born to parents who are living together at the time

Today, in Britain, many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together without getting married Only about 60% of those couples will eventually get married 40% of children in Britain are born to these cohabiting parents In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain Unmarried couples are also starting families without first being married Before 1960, this was very unusual, but in 2001, around 23% of births

in the UK were to cohabiting couples

Question 46 In Britain, the term family should usually be understood as .

A extended B nuclear C single-parent D cohabiting

Question 46 Roles such as best man, godfather are only of _ values

A emotional B responsible C important D rare

Question 48 The divorce rate in Britain is the in Europe

Question 49 About 75% of the births outside marriage are .

A born to parents living together B born to single parents

C registered by both parents D concerned by cohabiting parents

Question 50 The leading factor contributing to the increase in the number of single-parent family is

A women working B the choice to be lone parents

C high divorce rate D old age marriage

Question 51 The word reflected in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

Question 52 The word cohabiting in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.

A married B living together C having children D unusual

Question 53 What is the most suitable heading for paragraph 4?

A Cohabiting couples B Children outside marriage

A British family types B British family changes

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City For a long time, it has been the newspaper of record in the United States and one of the world’s great newspapers Its strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of circulation

The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the

news in a restrained and objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for

the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience However,

in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896

Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as

editor Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his

reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news The management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its

coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in world news

In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret government study of U.S involvement in the Vietnam War When it published the report, it became

involved in several lawsuits The U.S Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by

the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants
