The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, a father, and their children, may be more an American<br />
ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more<br />
varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious<br />
customs among American groups.<br />
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American<br />
families fit the traditional mold and another third consist of married couples who either have no children<br />
or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20% of the total number of American<br />
households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years old. A small percentage, about 3% of<br />
the total, consist of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest , about 7% are single,<br />
usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and<br />
therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms<br />
other than the traditional one.<br />

questions from 44 to 48.<br />
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we<br />
communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their<br />
field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated<br />
experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through<br />
developments in information technology.<br />
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older<br />
children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For<br />
the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students should complete a minimum<br />
number of study hour per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times<br />
that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other<br />
countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will<br />
automatically monitor the number hours a week each student studies on line as well as that student's<br />
learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The<br />
software can then identify the best learning activities and conditions for each individual student and<br />
generate similar activities. It can be also identify areas of week achievement and produce special<br />
programs adjusted to the students' needs.<br />
<br />
Question 44: What is the topic of the passage?<br />
A. Students don't have to go to school any more<br />
B. The effect of information technology on education<br />
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus<br />

Question 45: How many times are children who are older than 10 required to go to school weekly?<br />
A. Three<br />
B. No time<br />
C. Once or twice<br />
D. Four<br />
Question 46: Who/what counts the number of hours per week that students spend learning?<br />
A. Teacher<br />
B. Parents<br />
C. Virtual reality<br />
D. Computers<br />
Question 47: What can't the software do?<br />
A. Find out the best activities for the students<br />
B. Design materials for the students<br />
C. Identify weaknesses of the students<br />
D. Monitor the time the students learn<br />
Question 48: What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?<br />
A. Students can learn at times that suit their schedule<br />
B. Students can stay at home to learn<br />
C. Students' learning time won't be monitored<br />
D. Students' weak achievement can be identified.<br />
Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the most response to complete each<br />
of the following exchanges.<br />
<br />
Question 49: A: What an attractive hair style you have got, Mary! – B: “ _______ “<br />
