SINGLE-PARENT FAMILY
One of the most striking changes in family structure over the last twenty years has been the increase
of single parent families. In this family there is only one parent in the household raising the children. Due
to high divorce rates and adults choosing not to marry, this is currently the fastest growing family form
in North America. More than half of all children will spend some of their lives in a single-parent family.
Currently, 88 percent of these families are headed by women.
In 1970, the number of single parent families with children under the age of 18 was 3.8 million; by
1990 the number had more than doubled to 9.7 million. For the first time in history, children are most
likely to live in a single parent family for reasons other than the death of a parent. One in four children
are born with their mothers not married, usually teenage mothers. One of the most expensive things for a
single parent is child care.
Too often children living in single parent households have to contend with negative stereotypes and
hurtful remarks made by insensitive adults. Regardless of whether the single parent family exists as a
result of divorce or death of the other parent, or the parent choosing not to marry, the child is clearly not
responsible for the circumstances. However, it is often the child who pays the price. On the other hand,
single families often have less tension compared to the tension in families before divorce. With reduced
tension, the single parent can focus more clearly on the child's needs. Usually parents and children are
more willing to co-operate with each other to find solutions to solve household problems in single parent
families.

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

The relationship between skin problems and stress is rather complicated: skin problems often
accompany stress, but it is not the stress itself that directly causes the skin problems. Instead, it is the side
effects of stress, such as the use of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine, that are often to blame.
Alcohol consumed in large quantities can cause problems with the skin by increasing the flow of
blood to the skin; this makes the skin feel warmer and can really worsen the itching that accompanies
conditions such as hives or rosacea. Nicotine and caffeine, on the other hand, cause problem by reducing
the supply of blood to the skin; this, in turn, keeps the skin from being properly nourished.
The best defense for your skin in times of stress is therefore to take the best possible care of yourself.
If, when you are in periods of heavy stress, you consume large quantities of alcohol, or coffee, or if you
smoke heavily, it is your skin that will show the results.
