Young people spend a large proportion of their leisure time at home with other members of their family or with friends.

All school children in Britain are encouraged to take up activities which complement their academic and vocational education end help to identify their individual talent, such as sports, drama, music and creative pursuits. Many of these form. part of the school curricula.

M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means？
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation？
M: I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it？ And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I don't understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them？
M: I don't know. I think I'll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you？ And what would you expect them to do with it？
M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money？
M: Yeah, they do.
What is the table of figures about？
A．The pocket money British children get.
B．The annual inflation rate in Britain.
C．The things British children spend money on.
D．The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.

听力原文： There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and social and economic effects of the World War Two had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions. During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to know that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

A．The liberation movement of British women.

D．Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.

Are We Turning into a Nation of Loners？
Marriage is down, and so is childbirth. But divorce is up, along with single-person living. This is Britain today.
A period of unprecedented change in British family life, where adults lead more isolated lives, bringing up children on their own or not having them at all, is described in a report today. The independent Family Policy Studies Centre paints a picture of an evolving society with fewer children, fewer marriages, more divorces and more solo living, where "marriage and partnerships are much more fragile than they were".
Although the government has gone further than any other in developing explicit policies for parenting and marriage, ministers should become "more in tune with contemporary family life", it says. They need to consider the effect of these changes, the report says, not just on children affected by the breakdown of adult relationships, but on society as a whole and "right across the life cycle".
The report says it is still too early to talk of the death of the "traditional family", because four-fifths of dependent children still live in a family with two parents, and nine in ten of those parents are married. But other statistics included in the report demonstrate significant changes in family demographics (人口统计) with profound, often unexplored, consequences.
More than 6.5 million people in Britain—about 28% of households—now live on their own, three times as many as 40 years ago, the report says. Nearly a quarter of women born in 1973 will still be childless at the age of 45, compared with about one in ten of those born in 1943. Women are having children later, on average at 29 rather than at 26, as in the 1970s, and they are having fewer offspring. The average of 1.73 children per woman in the late 1990s, though higher than in most EU countries, is well below the 2.1 needed to retain the population at its present level in the long term.
Lone parents trebled
The 21% of dependent children living in lone parent households (the vast majority with their mother) has trebled (三倍) from the 7% in 1972. The number of lone parents has trebled in the past 25 years—there were about 1.6 million such parents and 2.8 million dependent children by the mid 1990s, compared with just over 500000 lone parents and 1 million dependent children in 1971. Within that 1.6 million, the fastest growing group is single, never-married lone mothers. Their proportion, 42% in 1997, is nearly double the proportion of 24% for 1984.
"Twenty years ago such women would have married only to see their relationship end in separation or divorce," the report says. "Single lone mothers should be seen as the modern equivalent of teenagers in earlier generations whose shotgun marriages (为怀孕所迫的结婚) failed."
The annual marriage rate is at its lowest level since records began 160 years ago. In 1961 approximately 330000 first-time marriages and 50000 remarriages took place. By 1997 these figures had dropped to fewer than 200000 first-time marriages and approximately 120000 remarriages. Of every five marriages, two will end in divorce. More than 150000 children under 16 experience the divorce of their parents, and if present rates continue, 28% of children under 16 will experience divorce. The cost of family breakdown to the public purse has been estimated at about 5 billion a year.
But marriage is still more stable than cohabiting, with couples who live together unmarried three or four times more likely to split up. Future research will show a rise in the proportion of cohabiting couples, from the one in ten in the most recently available figures. And the presence of children in a cohabiting relationship does not appear to reduce the breakdown rate significantly. Although the Centre itself devotes some space in its report to children, it says ministers should broaden their scope to
A．Y
B．N
C．NG
第11题
The island of Great Britain being small (compared with the size of Australia), the natural place for holiday relaxation and enjoyment is its extensive coastline, above all its southern and eastern coasts, though Blackpool, which is probably the best known and most crowded seaside town, and the favorite resort of the mass-population of industrial Lancashire, is on the north-west coast. Distant and little-inhabited areas like Northern Scotland, are too remote for the development of large seaside resorts.
For most children, going to the seaside suggests a week or fortnight of freedom on the beach, ideally a sandy one providing ample opportunity for the construction of sandcastles, fishing in pools for stranded shrimps, paddling in shallow water or swimming in deep. Children's entertainments may include the traditional knockabout (胡闹的) puppet show "Punch and Judy", donkey rides, paddleboats in artificial ponds, mini-golf and the swings and roundabouts (旋转木马) in local fairgrounds (露天游乐场). Their parents spend sunny days swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beach. Not that the British sun can be relied on and the depressing sight of families wandering round the town in mackintoshes (橡皮布雨衣) and under umbrellas is only too common. However, there are always the shops with their tourist souvenirs, plenty of cafes and, if the worst comes to the worst, the cinema to offer a refuge.
The average family is unlikely to seek accommodation in a hotel as they can stay more cheaply in one of the many boarding-houses. These are usually three or four-storied Victorian buildings, whose owners spend the summer season letting rooms to a number of couples or families and providing three cooked meals a day at what they describe as a reasonable price, with the hope that in this way they will add enough to their savings to see the winter through. Otherwise there are the caravan and camping sites for those who prefer self-catering.
Nowadays, even when an increasing number of people fly off to Mediterranean resorts where a well-developed suntan (晒黑) can be assured, or explore in comfort Swiss lakes and mountains or romantic Italian or Spanish cities, the British seaside is still the main attraction for families especially those with younger children. As they queue for boat trips, cups of tea or ice-cream under grey skies and in drizzling rain, the parents are reliving their own childhood when time seemed endless, their own sandcastle the most splendid on the beach, the sea always blue and friendly and the sun always hot.
A reason suggested in the first paragraph for the appeal of the British seaside is that ______.
A．it is within easy reach
B．it is an ideal place for children
C．most holiday resorts are in the warmer south and east
D．a large number of people enjoy going there
