When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious seasons. Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favourite drinks. The next thing to do is the shopping.

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 is 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. 1) With what topic is the passage mainly concerned? A. the traditional American family B. The nuclear family. C. The ideal family. D. The current American family. 2) The writer implies that .

Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write. Any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing sytsems never learn to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. 6.The word "writing " means A. words B. books C. experiences D. novels 7. According to the passage, writing ____ A. is imperfect, but less so than speech B. represented speech, but not perfectly C. developed perfectly from speech D. is represented perfectly by speech 8.
