Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the world was becoming more aware of the destructive
effects of industry (3) the environment and people were starting to think seriously
about ways of protecting the environment. One man who was particularly affected by
this subject was Gerard Morgan-Grenville. As Morgan-Grenville travelled round earning his
living as a gardener, he noticed signs of the damage that was being done to the countryside
around him. It wasn't long before Morgan-Grenville decided that he had to do something
about this situation. He felt that if people could be shown a better way of living then maybe
they would be interested enough to try to protect their (4) environment.
Mr. Morgan-Grenville decided to set up a project (5) would prove what was
happening to our surroundings and what could be done about it. So, in 1975, Morgan-
Grenville created the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in a village in Wales.
The main aim of CAT is to search for an ecologically better way of living by using
technology which (6)
no harm to the environment. One of the most important things CAT did initially was to
explore and demonstrate a wide range of techniques and to point out which ones had the least
destructive results on the world around us. (7) _, CAT provides information and
advice to people all over Britain and all over the
world. If more and more individuals are informed about how much damage our modern lifestyle is causing to
the planet, maybe more of them would be prepared to look for practical solutions to environmental problems.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single
basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as
grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter
is the most common basic form of social organization.
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents
(e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings.
In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of
children in a nuclear family.
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by
the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American
Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term
can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.
Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with
three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by
the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended
family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are
not living together in a single group.
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear
families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived
together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as
nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many
indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the
same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family
arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents
a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.
Câu 17: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones
