In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents divorce.A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.21.

共用题干第三篇A New Cause of SufferingA conference on obesity（肥胖症）was recently held in Vienna. Two thousand experts from more than fifty countries attended the conference.According to statistics,1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight,and 250 million are too fat.Obesity is rapidly becoming a new cause of suffering.Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said:"We are living in the new age but with the metabolism（新陈代谢）of a stone-age man. I have just been to the United States. It is really terrible. A pizza（比萨饼）shop is appearing on every corner. We have been occuoied by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization."Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.Hopicnier saia: "Eighty per cent of all diabetics（糖尿病人）are too fat,also fifty per cent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with fatty（脂肪的）tissue complaints. Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease.Reducing one's weight by ten oer cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure."Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs,"The health insurance pays for surgery(such as reducing the size of the stomach ) when the body-mass index（身体质量指数）is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.60 meters.One should start earlier."Toplak said that prevention should begin in school.“Child obesity has a close relation with the time which children spend in front of TV sets." According to the passage,obesity is associated with all the following EXCEPTA:high blood pressure. B:fatty tissue complaints.C:stomachache. D:heart disease.

资料：Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.“Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”Underpinning the improvements in the human development index（HDI） was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.“More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone” illustrates ______.A.the economic development of China is importantB.the role of some developing countries is significant for poverty reductionC.14 countries are developing faster than ChinaD.it is crucial to make a clear goal first
