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 wemen 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 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?

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
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 BC 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
Trang 4completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m 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
