  3. QUYNH NHU It's interesting how (38)______________ most of us know about our ancestors or about the history of our family. It's di fferent, of course, if you (39) ______________ to be nobility, or royalty even(!): the history of your family is always (40)______________ recorded. But few of us have any such claims. I first became interested in my (41)_____________ family history four or five years ago when my mother showed me some photographs which I had never seen before - (42)___________ photos of uncles and aunts, great -uncles and great -aunts and grandparents, all taken while they were young. I immedi ately wanted to try to (43 )__________ my family tree back as (44)_________ as I could, and decided to start with the photos. First of all I had to rely' completely on my mother's (45)______________ for names (first names and family names), the ages of people in the photos, the year the photos might have been taken, and so on. Then after that, I w ant her to fill in for me (46)_______________ of those members of the family who weren't in the photos. Again, she was able to (47)_____________quite a lot of informati on - but not enough, I'm afraid. So the next step was to go and consult public records of births, marriages and d eaths. N ormally, I would (48)______________ , reading such information in old record books might be pretty boring - unless you're a historian, that is: but it's a very different matter when you're looking for details about your own (49)_____________. It's fascinating to discover, as I did, for example that one of your grandfathers - the one that you thought had spent his whole life on a farm in the south of England - had (50)_______________ gone and lived in the USA for some five years when he was a young man back in the 1890s! B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. T he nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and thei r children, may be more an A merican ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so -called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups. T he most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who ei th er have no children or have none still livi ng at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of Americ an households are single people, usually women over sixty -five years of age. A s mall percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, u sually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one. 51.
