Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry. In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry becomes more important than agriculture in American life, families become smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can. So , at present people tend to have smaller families.

   In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical families may remain childless and are only made up of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move job to job.

61. The main topic discussed in the passage is _______.

  A. the development of science and industry in America

  B. the influence(影响) of science and industry on America families.

  C. the harmful effect of industrialization

  D. the social problems resulting from the highly developed science and industries in America

62. _____ are described in the passage.

  A. Families of the past

  B. Families of the present and of the future

  C. Families of the past and of the future

  D. Families of the past, the present and the future

63.According to the writer, one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in American is that _____.

  A. children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up

  B. people stop caring for having children

  C. the need for workers who are able to move any time has been increasing

  D. both old and young people like to live by themselves

64._____ will be in charge of raising children in the future.

  A. most families   B. all families   C. social workers  D. a small number of families

65. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.

Once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay – at – home athers. I made the point that one reason why we’re seeing more stay – at – homw dads may be hat it’s no longer definite that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.

At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home.” A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it’s a code for “My wife, or any woman is the better parent.”

I was a stay – at – home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.

I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly. But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.

because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job.
