Exercise 1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and wasprepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of putting himinto childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job,the role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the next four years, w ith Derek working from home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year.

Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal, research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while the men were unemployed.

The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess, particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier.

II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and 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.

1. The nuclear family ranks as the most common family type .

A. an many industrialized countries B. in countries with nuclear weapons

C. that consists of more than two generations D. that leads to the divorce of parents

2. In the single-parent family, .

A. there are often no children

B. only one parent lives with his or her child or children

C. the number of blended children has increased

D. children live with their grandparents

3. Grandparents, parents and children are mentioned as .

A. the three typical generations of an extended family

B. three branches of a family tree

C. the closest and happiest relatives in family units

D. a complex combination

4. The second paragraph is about .

A. American culture B. relatives and family members

C. the relationship between family members D. the extended family

5. The word “blended” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

A. complex B. married C. mixed D. formed

III. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20th 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 livingunder 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

C. in the same building D. under the house

3. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of .

A. more divorces B. the division of the extended family

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 20th century?

A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five

5. A blended family is a newly-formed family .

A. with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother

B. that has only father or mother living with children

C. in which there are no children

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

IV. Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow.

The Role of the Japanese Mother

The focus of the mother is her home and family, with particular attention to the rearing of children. While most Japanese believe that a woman's place is in the home, women make up almost 40 percent of the labor force. More than half of these women are married. Many mothers with small children work only part-time so they can be home when their children are not in school. The extra income earned by the mother is often used to meet the cost of their children's education.

Japanese mothers take the responsibility of their child's education and upbringing very seriously. They seldom confront their preschool children because they want to foster an intimate, dependent relationship. The purpose of this approach is to get the child to obey willingly with the mother’s wishes and to shape the child's behavior over a long period of time. The close nature of the mother-child relationship and the strong parentalcommitment help to provide a strong foundation for the child's entry into elementary school.

Mothers are involved directly in with the child's school. Each day a notebook is sent back and forth between mother and teacher remarking on the child's mood, behavior, health, and activities both in school and at home. Mothers attend PTA meetings usually twice a month and are involved with school committee's working on special projects such as gardening and hot lunch preparation. School is a very stressful and competitive process so the Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children through so they can get accepted into the appropriate universities.

Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in each blank.

Task 2: Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

T F

6. Most Japanese women are housewives.  

7. Taking care of children and bringing them up are of great importance to  

Japanese mothers.

8. Japanese mothers tend to be very strict to their children at home.  

9. Japanese mothers and teachers work together for the children's study  

progress and comfort at school.

10. The Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children  

through, so the atmosphere at home is very stressful.

D. SPEAKING

Rearrange the sentences in order to make a meaningful conversation, writing the letter (A-H) in each blank.

1. ___ A. Nam: It’s not only for our mother's benefits but it also makes us more independent when we have grown up.

2. ___ B. Nam: Besides cleaning and cooking, my mother also does a lot of other things around the house although she goes to work.

3. ___ C. Nam: I agree with that saying. All of us take it for granted that our mother is responsible for doing all the housework.

4. ___ D. Nam: Besides the relationship, we enjoy a friendlier atmosphere in our home all the time when we attend to each other.

5. ___ E. Mai: So does my mother. My father, my brother and I try to share the burden so that my mother can follow her own interests.

6. ___ F. Mai: I’ve just read a saying about household chores, Nam. It’s “Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.”

7. ___ G. Mai: It’s very useful for our future life. And I think we will have better relationship when we share household chores with one another.

8. ___ H. Mai: Yeah, when we come home from school, our house is clean and tidy and lunch or dinner is ready for us to eat.

childish   clever   cruel   funny   predictable

Sarah_B: Tell us about pranks you played on friends or family members! 

Dave338: When I was about nine years old, I bought an enormous plastic spider from a joke shop. I couldn't wait to play a prank on my sister with it. One morning, I put it in the shower just before my big sister went into the bathroom. I waited outside the door. I heard a really loud scream and my sister ran out of the bathroom. I thought it was really funny, but she was really cross when she found out, and chased me round the house. I feel bad about it now, it took her ages to get over it because she was so shocked.

Kate44: Last February, I sent my brother a Valentine's card. In the card, I wrote 'Be my Valentine! With love from ???’, and I tried to disguise my handwriting. When he opened it, he looked carefully at the writing, and I thought for a moment he realised it was from me. But there was a girl in his class who he liked, and he thought the card was from her. He seemed really pleased and he decided to ask her out, and now they're going out! Eventually, he found out she didn't send it. He immediately suspected me, so I owned up. He was a bit cross, but he forgave me because of the happy ending.

I think Dave338’s prank is extremely childish and cruel as it took his sister ages to get over the prank. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Dave338 cực kỳ trẻ con và độc ác vì nó khiến chị ấy mất nhiều thời gian để vượt qua trò chơi khăm đó.)

I think Kate44’s quite interesting but she shouldn’t have played that with her brother as it would have been a great disappointment to him if his crush hadn’t go out with him. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Kate44 khá thú vị nhưng đang lý ra cô ấy không nên làm như vậy vì nếu chị gái kia không đi chơi với anh ấy thì đó sẽ là một nỗi thất vọng lớn lao.)

Tạm dịch:

Sarah_B: Hãy kể về một trò chơi khăm mà bạn thực hiện lên bạn bè hoặc thành viên trong gia đình nào!

Dave338: Khi mà tôi chin tuổi, tôi đã mua một con nhện khổng lồ bằng nhựa trong một tiệm giỡn. Tôi không thể đợi để chơi khăm chị mình với nó. Một buổi sáng nọ, tôi đặt con nhện trong vòi sen ngay trước khi chị tôi đi vào nhà tắm. Tôi đứng đợi ở ngoài cửa. Tôi đã nghe một tiếng hét rất lớn và chị tôi đã chạy ra khỏi vòng tắm. Tôi đã nghỉ nó rất vui, những chị tôi đã phát cáu khi biết chuyện, và đuổi theo tôi quanh nhà. Bây giờ tôi cảm thấy mình tệ vì chuyện đó. Cũng mất khá lâu để chị tôi có thể vượt qua nó vì chị ấy quá đỗi bàng hoàng.

Kate44: Tháng Hai năm ngoái, mình đã gửi anh trai mình một tấm thiệp ngày Lễ tình nhân. Trong tấm thiếp, mình viết “Hãy là tình nhân của mình nhé! Từ ??? với yêu thương”, và mình cố gắng làm rối nét chữ của mình. Nhưng có một chị ở lớp mà anh ấy rất thích, và anh ấy đã nghỉ tấm thiệp là từ chị ấy. Anh ấy dường như rất vui vẻ và anh đã quyết định rủ cô ấy đi chơi, và bây giờ họ đang đi chơi rồi! Sau cùng, anh ấy cũng biết là chị ấy không gửi tấm thiệp đó. Anh ấy lập tức nghi ngờ mình, nên mình thú nhận mình đã làm. Anh ấy đã có chút cáu giận nhưng anh ấy cũng tha thứ cho mình vì cái kết có hậu.

I have Learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of All, always check and double-check departure times. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once i arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and i thought she said that the plane left at 10:50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I didn`t bother to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10:15 and that the flight was, according to international regulations, " now closed! ". I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an importent meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still importent to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely essential if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago, I took a business trip to Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas,with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and since I had no Dollars, i offered to pay in Pounds instead." Listen, Buddy! I only take Real money! " the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was Embarrassing.

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave, especially if you can take only a little baggage with you. I feel sorry for some of my colleagues who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during a day. Few people understand just how importent it is to have the right sort of clothes with you in these days of rapid air travel.

I. Discuss these questions. Campare your answers.

1. Explain why the writer once arrived at the airport only a few minutes before the plane left.

2. Whose fault do you think it was? Thư writer's or his secretary's? Give reasons for your answer.

3. Explain why the writer think it is essential to have at least a little local currency when you arrive in a foreign country.

4. Describe some of the problems you could have if you ignore the advice in the last paragraph

For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth...

For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of putting him into childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job, the role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the next four years, with Derek working from home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year.

Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal, research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while the men were unemployed.

The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess, particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier.

5. In paragraph 2, the word “reversal" is closest in meaning to ____.

A. stability B. modification C. rehearsal D. switch
