At the beginning of the twentieth century，many people thought that the American family was

falling apart——in other words，they thought it was dyin9．A century later，we knoW that this was not the case．However，although the family is still alive in the United States．its size and shape are very different from l 00 years a90．

In the late l 800s and early l 900s，there were mainly two types of families in the United States：the extended and the nuclear．The extended family(大家庭)usually includes grandparents，parents，and children living under the same roof．1 he nuclear family(核心家庭)consists of only parents and children．As people began to move to other parts of the country to find better jobs，the nuclear family became the most common family structure，or unit．

Today there are many different kinds of families．Some people live in“traditional‟‟ families．that is，a stay—home mother，a working father，and their own biological children．0lthers live in tw0．paycheck families(where both parents work outside the home)，single‟ parent familieS fa mother or father living with the children)，adoptive(收养的)or foster families(where adults take qare of children that are not biologically theirs)，blended families(where men and women who were married before marry again and combine the children from previous marriages into new famIjies)．childless families，and SO On．

What caused the structure of the family to change?In the early l 900s the birthrate began to decline and the divorce rate began to rise Women were suddenly choosing to go to college and take iobs outside the home．The l 930s and l 940s were difficult years fOr most families in the United States．Many families faced serious financial，or money

problems during the Great Depression，when many people lost their jobs During World War I|(1 939—1 945)，5 million women were left alone to take care of their homes and their children．Because many men were at war，thousands of these“war widows‟‟had to go to work outside the home．Most women worked long hours at hard jobs，especially in factories．

During the next decades，the situation changed．There were fewer divorces，and peeple married at a younger age and had more children than the previous generation． It was unusual for a mother to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing up．Families began leaving cities and moving into single—family homes in the suburbs(郊区)．The traditional family seemed to be returnin9．

In the years between l 960 and the l 990s，there were many important changes in the structure of the family．From the l 960s to the early l 970s，the divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half．The number of single—parent families tripled(使…成3倍)，and the number of Couples living together without being married quadrupled(使…成4倍)． There are many people today who would like the“traditional”family to return．However， less than l o percent of families in the l 990s fall into this category．In fact，the single— parent household—once unusual—has replaced

the“traditional”fami|y as the typical(典型的)fam¨y in the United States．If we can judge from history，however，this will probablY change again in the twenty—first century．

In a pub people can buy all kinds of drinks, from beer to orange juice. The Englishman’s favorite drink is beer.

Quite a lot of businessmen have lunch in pubs near their offices because in many pubs fast food is served. There may even be a restaurant in a pub. The food they sell is usually cheap and good. In the countryside the pub is often part of an inn – a kind of small hotel . People can stay there for the night.

The opening time of pubs is set by law. It might be different from place to place, but usually a pub is open from half past eleven to three o’clock and from half past five to half past ten or eleven o’clock.

The students fell silent for a moment.

Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It’s important to think of the challenges in your life, but it’s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed.

Do you eat grass? You may be surprised by the answer. We usually think of grass as food for animals, but humans eat grass, too.

Humans eat the seeds (种子) of the grass. Rice is a special kind of grass that has big seeds, and they taste good! There are over 100 different kinds of rice grown around the world. Over many years, humans have changed rice to have more and larger seeds, and it has become a very important food. After corn, it is the most popular seed in the world. It is the basic food for a large part of the world’s population.

How often do you eat rice? We are eating it less often than we used to. We are now eating more bread and meat instead of rice. Even though we now eat less rice, rice is a very important part of life for many people around the world. Did you eat some rice today?

Do you eat weeds (野草)? Maybe this once again surprises you. Often you saw people cutting in a field. They had a big bag in one hand and a knife in the other. What were they doing? They were cutting dandelions (蒲公英).

The dandelion is one of the most useful weeds. It is really a living supermarket. The leaves of the young plant are delicious. The leaves can also be cooked. With beans they make a nice meal.

一）People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual. People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man

on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications ， I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?

It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of songs tell about the lives of farmers .They talk about love, crops or death.

The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s,people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.

When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.
