Part 3. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic group
of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally, each child is
4
nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy relationships. This does
not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends, it just means that we share the goal of having
strong relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are
closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members
is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are natural and normal,
and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for most families is
during a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other
people, it is possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring
and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.

A. The importance of sharing housework .B. The healthy relationships among family members
C. The importance of having children. D. The roles of family members.

A. connection B. cooperation C. comparison D. combination

A. to keep a track of the people around them
B. to keep in touch with the people around them
C. to be familiar with the people around them
D. to care about the people around them
79. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an example of a family relationship?
A. God-mother and god-son relationship B. Nanny and baby relationship
C. Step-father and daughter relationship D. Wife and husband relationship
80. The word “These” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
