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.

16. Exercise 7 : 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 20lh 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 living under 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 .

Home Life in Japan It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is becoming less common today, but still exists, certainly in the countryside. Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are returned a sum of money as pocket money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a family are the responsibility
19. of the women who handle most of the household expenses. There are exceptions in instances when something of value, like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more women going to work. Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and the company demands on them are so great. It means that they often really have very little time or energy to spend with their children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the education fall onto the mothers. Mothers play an enormous role in the lives of their children and the bond is very' strong. Babysitters are rarely used and mothers often sleep with their babies. A mother will also spend hours with children doing school work. Few Japanese men help with housework. There is more pressure today for this to change. Most families in Japan today arc nuclear families, such as those in the United States. That is to say that a married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one grandparent. But for the most part, the Japanese family today looks much like the American family. 36. In Japan, extended families arc still popular .

Just breathe The movement of your blood through your heart and around your body is called circulation. The process of circulation is fast: it takes less than a minute to pump blood to every part of your body. When we breathe in, oxygen goes into your lungs. Blood from your lungs fills with oxygen and moves into the left side of your heart. The left side of your heart pumps the blood with oxygen in it out through tubes called arteries. Arteries carry blood away from your heart to your body. Your body takes the oxygen out of the blood and uses it to stay healthy and strong. We need oxygen for everything we do: moving, growing, speaking, and thinking. If we do not have oxygen, we cannot live. When your body uses the oxygen from your blood, it makes carbon dioxide. Your body doesn’t need this carbon dioxide, so the blood takes it away. Other tubes, called veins, carry the blood with carbon dioxide in it back to your heart. The blood from our body goes into the right side of your heart. Then the right side of your heart pumps this blood into your lungs which remove the carbon dioxide from the blood. When you breathe out, the carbon dioxide goes back into the air. 1. From which was blood with oxygen pumped throughout the body?

Exercise 8 : Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow. Junk Food's Effect On Our Body Fast food nutrition should make up a minimal part of a healthy diet. Fast foods and junk foods are high in fat, sodium and sugar, which can lead to obesity and a range of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. Junk food doesn't contain the nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. As a result, you may feel fatigued and lack the energy you need to complete daily tasks. The high levels of sugar in junk food puts your metabolism under stress. Because fast food and junk food don't contain adequate amounts of protein and good carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels will drop suddenly after eating, leaving you feeling annoyed, tired and craving sugar. Junk food contains large amounts of fat, and because fat accumulates in your body, you'll gain weight and could become obese. The more weight you gain, the more you'll be at risk for serious illnesses. The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food can cause high blood pressure or hypertension. In the short term, high levels of dietary fat lead to poor mental performance. You'll feel tired and have trouble concentrating because your body might not be getting enough oxygen. The high levels of fat and sodium in junk food and fast food can contribute to heart disease by raising blood cholesterol levels and contributing to arterial plaque build-up. The high levels of fatty acids found in many junk foods and fast foods can lead to fatty liver deposits, which, over time, can cause liver disease. Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in each blank. A B 1. fatigued (adj) a. extremely fat 2. metabolism (n) b. build up; increase over a period of time 3. craving (adj) c. tired 4. accumulate (v) d. wanting something very much 5. obese (adj) e. all the processes that cause food to be used for energy and growth Task 2: Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. 1. The amount of sugar in fast food is . A. providing you with enough energy to complete daily tasks B. so high that it puts your body under stress C. leading to obesity and a range of health problems D. so low that you want to eat much more sugar 2.

It is based on the idea that there are zones, or areas, in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body. For example, the tips of the toes or fingers are related to the head and neck, and the ball of the foot is related to the heart and chest. A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patient’s feet and hands to relieve symptoms or pain in other related areas. This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems, and it does not involve any medication. Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease. Reflexology is effective for pain, headaches, and sleeping difficulties, among other ailments. Applying pressure to the feet and hands relieves tension, improves blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. It promotes the natural, healthy functions and wellbeing of the entire body. Reflexology is often used along with other types of treatments, including conventional medicine. This gentle therapy is safe and simple. A reflexologist’s only tools are his or her hands. Pressure is strong, but not uncomfortable. It’s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments. A typical treatment session lasts one hour. Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session. A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks, to sit in a comfortable reclining chair, and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient’s feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot. The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands. After relieving specific problems, many patients continue a regular programme of treatment to maintain good health. Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five- minute reflexology session into every day for long-term relief of stress and pain. 31.
