THE FAMILY
The family in the Western world has changed greatly during the last two centuries Social scientists say that this change in the family is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society
Before the 19th century, families usually arranged marriages for their children Young people did not decide who they wanted to marry After they got married, they usually had a lot of children
Trang 4By the 19th century, most young people could choose the person they wanted to marry A marriage joined two people and not two families Two people could get married because they loved each other, not just because their families wanted them to marry
At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education Before this, most people did not go to school Later, people realized that education was necessary for a good life Many parents decided that they should have fewer children so that they could give each one a good life More fathers worked outside the home for money Mothers stayed at home and had greater control of the children and the home than fathers had
Family life is changing even faster in the United States today Each year there is almost one divorce for every two marriages Many children grow up in a home with a mother but no father, and the mothers generally have to work outside the home to take care of the family
Some social scientists think that soon there will be no family life in the United States as we know it today They do not know how people will live Others think that society needs families, and we will always have them
37 The change in the Western family in the last two centuries is _
A rather small
B the most important
C one from a traditional to a modern society
D an important change in the modern society
38 After 1800, people usually got married _
A because their families wanted them to
B to join the two families
C to join two people
D because they loved each other
39 Many parents decided to have fewer children
A to give them a better life
B to take care of their health
C to give them an education
D to give them greater control
40 It can be inferred about family life in the United States today that
