My Favorite Novel

Thành Nguyễn, November 18

My favorite book is Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass (Tôi Thấy Hoa Vàng Trên Cỏ Xanh). It's an interesting novel. The author of the book is Nguyễn Nhật Ánh. The book is about Thiều and the people around him. I like the book because it shows us many beautiful things in Thiêu's village. It is a peaceful village with green grass, trees, wind, and yellow flowers. Some parts of the story are very sad. I cried a lot when I thought Thiều's brother, Tường, cannot walk again. I really like this book. I think you should read it.

Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children f may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child.
