current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and increasing.as skolnick notes,americans are a marrying people:relative to europeans,more of us marry at younger age.moreover,after falling in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the united states is now increasing.even the divorce rates need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.thus,marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society. what has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.twenty-five years ago,the typical american family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage,or the husbands,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.there are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.there are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and half-sisters.it is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!these are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.but even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most americans spend most of their adult lives married.1.by calling americans marrying people the author means that_.a.americans are more traditional than europeansb.americans expect more out of marriage than europeansc.there are more married couples in the usa than in europed.more of americans as compared with europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age2.which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays american families? a.a typical american family consists of only a husband and a wife. b.many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable. c.americans prefer to have more kids than before. d.there are no nuclear families any more.3.the“nuclear family”refers to_.a.families formed up by men or women working for nuclear power stationsb.married couples who are closely matchedc.family consists of married couples who do not want to have any childd.family with small number of members4.“part-time”children_a.spend some of their time with their half-brothers and some of their time with their half-sistersb.spend all of their time with one
