Families in almost every country are changing. In North Africa, in the past, many people lived in extended families. Fifty to a hundred people live together in a group of houses.
These were all family members—grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, children and grandchildren. But now this traditional family is breaking into smaller groups.
The traditional Japanese family was also an extended family—a son, his parents, his wife, his children, and his unmarried brothers and sisters. They lived together in his parents’ home. But this tradition is changing. Now most families are nuclear families. They have new problems. Most men spend a lot of time on the job. They don’t see their families often. Many married women feel lonely. Their husbands are almost never home; their children are at school. Sometimes these women get jobs or join cultural groups.
In Europe, in traditional nuclear families, the wife stayed home with the children. The husband had a job. But many Europeans are unhappy with this kind of family, and the traditions are changing. The number of divorces is going up. The number of single-parent families is going up too. In Sweden, more than 40 percent of all children have unmarried mothers.
There are also big changes in Canada. In 1965, a traditional nuclear family was important. Almost 90 percent of men and 93. 5 percent of women were married. But in 1985, only 49 percent of men and 51. 6 percent of women were married! Now more than one-third of all babies have unmarried mothers. More than one-third of all marriages end in divorce.
Some people are unhappy about these changes. But they need to understand one thing. We can’t really say, "These new families are bad. " or "These new families are good. " They are just different. The world is changing, and families are changing too.
An extended family______.
选项
A、is one whose members live and work together
B、may include such members as aunts, uncles or cousins
C、has more financial problems than a nuclear family
D、exists only in some Asian and African countries
答案
B
解析
从第一段第四句These were all family members—grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins,children and grandchildren可知B是正确答案。A是错误的,因为文中只提到家庭成员住在一起,并没有说过他们也在一起工作。C在文中没有被提及。D也不对,因为文章并没有强调大家庭只有亚洲和非洲的某些国家有。
