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. [br] From the example of Canada, we can see that______.
选项
A、more and more men choose to get married
B、many women prefer a traditional nuclear family
C、more than 30% of married people end up in divorce
D、most children choose to live with their mothers
答案
C
解析
从第四段最后一句More than one—third of all marriages end in divorce.可知C是正确答案。A不正确,因为1985年只有49%的男人结婚。这一段没有提及B。这一段提到More than one—third of all babies have unmarried mothers,并不是most children,而且也不是他们自己愿意与母亲居住,可能是不得不这样,所以D也不正确。
