It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people live
during America’s frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the
necessities of day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined
with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling.
Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove
the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After
a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun.
The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and
chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively
competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day
of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land.

*Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an
American 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.
The 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 either have no
children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total
number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A
small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live
together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually 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.
