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 below.
FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney 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 women 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?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children.
Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Sixty years ago, most women ____________
- A. went out to work
- B. had no children
- C. did not do much housework
D. were housewives
Sixty years ago, most women were housewives.

It's believed that cultural identity helps us identify ourselves as part of a culture.
This can be shown through the language we use to communicate, the food we often eat, the national clothes we wear on special occasions or festivals and cultural praces.
Among these, I think food and culinary traditions are the most important cultural identifiers.
On an individual level, there is a connection between food and each person's family ties.
We grow up eating the food cooked by our mother or other members in our family, so food becomes closely connected to our family traditions.
Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it reminds us of our families and holds a special and personal value for us.
Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek when we miss our family or feel stressed.
I still remember a memorable moment when I was a kid.
I could not eat rice because I had a toothache.
My mother cooked soup and brought it to bed for me.
The flavor of the soup became something very familiar to me.
Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mom used to make for me and I crave that soup.
On a larger scale, food is an important part of national culture.
It helps tell where each of us is from.
Each country has its own national cuisine.
For example, Chinese food mainly has sweet and spicy flavor with a special focus on red color decoration.
Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next and acts as a prominent expression of cultural identity.
Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.
In conclusion, food connects people to their family and nation, so it is a good reflection of a person's culture identity.
Some people believe cultural identity is how we identify ourselves as part of a culture.This can simply be done through the language we use, the food we often have, or the clothing we often wear on special occasions. In my opinion, festivals and cultural praces celebrated and preserved years after years are the most important cultural identifiers.
Through festivals, we want to express our unity as well as cultural identifier. Originally, festivals are special occasions when people at a parular place stop working in order to celebrate parties or events. They are often connected with religious beliefs of a specific group of people to thank God sand ancestors for good harvests, fortune, and happiness.
Along with festivals, cultural praces are unique ways of expressing who we are and what country or culture we belong to. These are traditionally considered the right things to do in a community. For example, Vietnamese people usually go to pagodas on first days of New Year to pray for good health and happiness. Although we are now in modern time, these traditions are well preserved respectably as a cultural stereotype.
As people all over the world become closer and closer, we share our festivals and cultural praces - the most important features. We organise international festivals and take part in various kinds of cultural events in other countries. This is always the meaningful way of identifying, sharing and preserving cultures.
