blended families has increased
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the same roof These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including grandparents, parents and children They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins Even when relatives do not live together, they still consider themselves members of the same extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins

The American family unit is in the process of change In the first half of the 20lh century, there were mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear An extended family includes mother, father, children and some other relatives, living in the same house A nuclear family is composed of just parents
and children living under the same roof
As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced
to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs These jobs were mainly in the large cities Now,
in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the national total land mass
Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm
Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families But besides the two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements because of divorce There is an increase in single-parent families, in which a father or mother lives with one or more children Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into a new family There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two-person childless families
1 A nuclear family is one that
A consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house
B relatives live with
C there are only grandparents, parents and their children living in
D is bigger than extended family
2 The expression “under the same roof” means
A a house with one roof B a house with the roof the same as the wall
3 The nuclear family becomes more popular because of
C fewer jobs in big cities D an increase in single-parent families
4 How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20lh century?
5 A blended family is a newly-formed family
A with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother

D that there is only one couple living in with their newborn children

Junk food contains large amounts of fat, and because fat accumulates in your body, you'll gain weight and could become obese The more weight you gain, the more you'll be at risk for serious illnesses The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food can cause high blood pressure or hypertension
In the short term, high levels of dietary fat lead to poor mental performance You'll feel tired and have trouble concentrating because your body might not be getting enough oxygen
The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food and fast food can contribute to heart disease by raising blood cholesterol levels and contributing to arterial plaque build-up The high levels of fatty acids found in many junk foods and fast foods can lead to fatty liver deposits, which, over time, can cause liver disease
