Families today are more di- verse and unstable than in previous decades. Among families with children under age18,nearly 30% were headed by a single parentin 1991. Since 1960, this rate nearly tripled, from 9 to29%.In about 9 outof10cases, singIe- parent families are headed by women. This dramatic increase in single-parent families is largely accounted for by divorce and out-of-wedlock births. Between 1970 and 1986, a 135 percent in- crease occurred in children living with divorced mothers and a 620 percent increase in children liv- ing with mothers who never married. In America, the rateofdivorce has more than doubled since 1960. At current rates,wecan expect about halfofall marriagestoendindivorce. The lIlcreaseinthedivorce rate was particu- larly steepinthe 1960s and 1970s. While over a million children see their parents divorce each year,wemust also look at out- of-wedloek birthstounderstand the dramatic riseinsingle-parent families. In 1960, only 5 per- centofall births were to unmarred parents. By 1991, itwas29. 5 percent. For whites, the 1960 to1991increase was from 2 to 22 percent; for blacks, from23to68. In1988, 24 percentofallhouseholds were a person living alone, compared to13percentin 1960.Thisisdueinpart to the increased life span. Perhaps the most important issue that emerges fromthe family trends just describedisthe impactoffamily instability and single parenting on Unit1 QuestiollsIto4are basedOilthe passage you halejustheard./ I.Whichofthe following statements about current familiesinAtnericais HlIe?(H) .)Whichofthe following statementsismainly respollsible forth,striking rise in single-parent i,nilies,!(A) J,What was the percentageofsingle-parent families in19601(B) I,Whichofthe following statements about out,of-wedlock birthsistrue!(D) Unit1 6 children. tflQpOUlid t brighter future.It has oneofthe highest living standards in the world, although, at present, 10%are below what the Government considers to be the povertyline.Americans are begin- ning to realize that this terrible problemofpoverty is their problemandnot just the Governments.(11)Ithas been said that the individual American is generous, but that the American nation is hard.

That is completely mistaken.Ifliberty means license, the chance for ustodo whatever we please, then there is no such thing as liberty in the entire world. In the absenceofgovernment or control in society, with no laws, no policeorgovernment, a person can do everything -he may come orgo,workoridle, steal or kill, but he doesnt have real liberty. He is in contrast fearful that someone may stop him and robhimor even kill him.In a savage land where there are no rulesofany kind, or on a lonely island where there is no one to opposeus,our liberties are almost all lost; we can do nothing worthy and our circleof freedom is useless because it is so small. On the other hand, our opportunities are greatest in some place where government is strong and laws are many and officials are strict. Liberty, then, is not license. License is the opportunity to act regardlessofother people; liberty is the opportuni- ty to actinsuch a way as not to interfere with the opportunityofother people. When license in- creases, liberty decreases. Itis,then, very important that all people should understand and value liberty, but fight against license and the disregardofothers rights as they would fight against a cruel invader. Unit 1 Questions: 1. Whatisthis essay mainly about? (Itisabout the misunderstandingofthe notion liberty. ) 2. Why did the author write this essay? (Because many people misinterpret the notion liberty , and hence abuse liberty. In order to make people understand it correctly, the author wrote this essay. ) 3.

(Becauseifliberty means no control and people can do whatever they like such as stealing, robbing and killing, then there is no such thingasliberty. ) 4. What is the difference between license and liberty? (License is the opportunitytoact regardlessofother people, but libertyisthe opportunity to act in such a way as nottointerfere with the opportunityofothers. ) AGlanceatMasters Io. r/.1 Unil W:Allright.

Black bears are the smallestofallAmerican bears, ranging in length from fivetosix feet, weighing fromthreehundredtofive hundred pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their eye- sight and hearing are notasgoodastheir senseofsmell. Like all bears, the black bearistimid, clumsy and rarely dangerous. Butifattacked, most ofthem can climb trees and cover ground at great speeds. When angry, or frightened, it is a dan- gerous enemy. Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, fruit, berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. Oneofthe most interesting characteristicsofbears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although during the win- ter monthsthebear does not sustain itselffrombody fat, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute. Most black bears live alone, except during mating season. They prefer to live in caves, hol- low logs, or dense thickets. Black bears can liveaslongasthirty years inthewild, and even lon- geringame preserves set aside for them.
