Family life in the United States is changing Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a

"housewife" She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the money for the family He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not

do much housework And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home They cannot stay with the children all day They, too, come home tired in the evening They do not want to spend

Trang 2

the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up They do not have time to clean the house and do the

laundry So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights

Then there is a question of the children In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents Now families usually do not live near their relatives The grandparents often are too far away to help in a regular way

More often, parents have to pay for child care help The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center The problem with this kind of help is the high cost It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for Many companies now let people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend more time with their children Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children

For these men there is a new word: They are called "househusband" In the United States more

ans more men are becoming househusband every year

-Bob: “ _”

Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water Hunters and nomads camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not a serious problem After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centres, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding the city Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 B.C the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and

filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water The construction of such extensive

water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water

The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems In London, the first pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37m above the level of the River Thames and from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through

lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water

shortages in many countries Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s

In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East Several different processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this purpose Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water

The Internet has truly transformed how students do their homework (46) homework today still means spending time in the library, it’s for a different reason Rather than using books for research, students today are (47) to the Internet to download enormous amounts of data available online In the past, students were limited to their school’s (48) of books In many cases, they got to the school library and found out that someone had already taken the books they needed Nowadays, such inconvenience can be avoided since the Internet never runs out of information Students, however, do have to (49) sure that the information they find online is true Teachers have also benefited from the homework which is done on the Internet They do not need to carry students’ papers around with them anymore This is because online (50) allow students to electronically upload their homework for their teachers to read and mark Of course, this also means that students can no longer use the excuse that the dog ate their homework!
