听第五段独白，回答第13-15题。

The family is a central institution of modern British society, at least in the sense that almost everybody has had experience of living in a family at some time in their lives. There are many different family patterns in modern Britain.

One pattern that was common in the 1950s and covers about one in eight families today is where the parents and married children live close together but in separate houses. The family tie remains strong and mothers and daughters are likely to meet each other most days to talk or help each other when needed. This pattern occurs more often in settled communities rather than in mobile ones, in the north of England rather than in the south, and in working-class rather than middle-class families.

Another pattern is where parents and married children live further apart (usually about an hour's car drive from each other). They may meet only once or twice a month but keep in touch by telephone and help each other when necessary. This pattern is growing and covers about half of the population. It is found especially in middle-class families in the south-east of England.

13. How many family patterns are mentioned in the passage?

　 A. 1　　　　　　 B. 2　 　　　　　C. 3

14. Nowadays ______ live close together.

　 A. most parents and married children

　 B. half of the parents and married children

　 C. about 12% of the parents and married children

15. Parents and married children from ______ are more likely to live further apart from each other.

　 A. middle-class families 　　B. working-class families　　 C. mobile communities
