II. Choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answer the questions about the passage: 
	The nuclear family, consisting of mother, father, and their children, may be more an American idea than an American reality. Of course, the so called traditional American family was always more varied than we had led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups.
	The most recent government statistic reveal that only about one third of all current American family 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, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty- five years old. A small percentage, about three 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. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.

III. Choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answers the question about the passage:
	The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the close companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on “selfishness” of the younger generation but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.
	Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren, they prefer t continue living in the surrounding that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, and should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
	Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive influence which best has been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats or dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes toward their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
