Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 36 to 43
“Family” includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact
with everyday, such as your cousins, aunts, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the
people you are closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships
with your family members is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more
than one family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents- just to name a few. No
matter the “type”of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows – good times and bad.
Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger,
mistrust, and confusion. These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not have at
least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families, is during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with people, it is
possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring
and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals. Thus, it is never too late
to begin the process of improving family relationships- even if they are already of good quality-
by developing some simple skills.
Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to
do this with your family. Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an
argument or issue arises, it may seem impossible to handle. However, remember that
communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that siblings are constantly present
to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate. Thus, use your family’s
presence to your advantage- communicate with each other, develop ways to value boundaries, and
build trust and respect.
