Basic Listening Practice Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.D III. Listening In Task 1:Nuclear family living patterns Script: A nuclear family is typical in

2、highly-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they find jobs and acquire an apartment

3、 or home of their own. In the early mid-20th century, the father was typically the sole wage-earner, and the mother was the childrens principal caregiver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly,

4、 one of the parents has a non-standard shift, that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works. Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In

5、recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need. Increasingly, companies are getting involved in the arrangement of day care. Governments are providing assistance to parents that require day care as well. Keys: (1)typical (2)known (3)Generally

7、stralia Script: Can it be true that Australian men spend more time during the week brushing their teeth than they do alone with their children? A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minu

8、te each day alone with their children. Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend three hours a week purely looking after their childrena much greater disparity than in other countries like America, Denmark, Italy, and France, where couples divide the childcare more evenly. These findings will pro

9、bably infuriate those who want to shake off the perhaps unfair image of Australia as a land of old-fashioned male chauvinism. According to the study, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but shy away from the boring housework. So while they tend to be happy taking the kid

10、s to the park or to sporting events, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school. In short, Australian parenting is seen as a womans job and a mans hobby. Many people believe that the last 20 years have seen the arrival of the so-called new manthe man

11、 who is willing to share the housework and childcare. The new man has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids school plays, and he skips a drink at the bar after work so that he can get home in time to read bedtime story to their kids. This study suggests

12、that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia. Indeed, a poll conducted in the U.K. for the think tank the Fatherhood Institute in January indicates that almost 70 percent of British women think that men are as good at raising children as women. Thats something for Austral

13、ian men to ponder while they brush their teeth! Keys:1.B 2.A 3.A 4.B 5.A Task3: Views on filial piety see change Script: With fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety. Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a

14、 welfare society, according to a three-year survey conducted by the City University of Hong Kong. As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that the burden should fall on society as a wh

15、ole rather than on individual families. Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds. He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love. When asked about how th

16、ey would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old peoples homes. Others said they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychological health of their parents. According to the study, middle-ag

17、ed people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously. Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care. Researcher Wong questioned the wisdom of adopting the new concept of government welfare. He said, A welfare society is founded on high tax

18、 rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent. How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly? He further pointed out that even when a social security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give. Ke

She is eight and in the second grade. My ex has a wife that is 20. My ex and his wife go to the school almost every da

23、y to see our daughter. Our daughter has failed the second grade and now has to repeat it. I have seen her grades plummet since those two started showing up at school. They are both very controlling and verbally abusive to me and to our daughter. Im concerned about this. He forced my daughter to call

Ill try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at schoo

26、l. If he is not responsive, then Ill take your daughter for counseling to help her. You cant make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should spend quality time with her and al

Good Luck! Keys:1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.C Task3: A man who remarried Script If you want me to tell you why I remarrie

28、d, heres my story. Remarriage was the last word Id consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failures. More importantly, I wondered how remarriage would affect my 10-year-old son, John. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wif

29、e and me holding handswith sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorced eight times altogether, I hoped my son would not have to go through the same pain I experienced. As a result, my primary focus after the divorce was my relationship with John, not finding a wife. As time went

30、 by, my son gradually grew up, and he became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first time he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed

31、 over the following year, I was concerned about how my son would actually respond to her. At first, Johns affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several months, he warmed up to her. Seeing the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry m

32、e. She accepted. So the two of us blended smoothly into the three of us. Thinking back, I believe my remarriage was the right choice. Some single parents are still hesitating about remarriage. Now that youve heard my story, I hope you wont hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fing
