Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.
What can be inferred from the reading passage?
A. Indigenous communities have been completely eradicated all over the world
B. In the future, all extended families will be replaced by nuclear ones
C. Anthropology is a science concerning human race and its development
D. Couples with no children can’t be defined as families
C

Dẫn chứng: Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure

Về mặt nhân học, thuật ngữ Gia đình mở rộng, đề cập đến một nhóm như vậy sống cùng nhau trong một gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ sống cùng nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông lớn tuổi nhất hoặc bởi một số nhân vật lãnh đạo được lựa chọn khác
=> Đáp án C
Dịch bài
Sự khác biệt giữa gia đình hạt nhân và đại gia đình là một gia đình hạt nhân đề cập đến một đơn vị gia đình cơ bản duy nhất là cha mẹ và con cái của họ, trong khi gia đình mở rộng đề cập đến họ hàng của họ như ông bà, vợ chồng, cô dì, chú bác, v.v. Trong nhiều nền văn hóa, và đặc biệt là xã hội bản địa, sau này là hình thức cơ bản phổ biến nhất của tổ chức xã hội.
Một gia đình hạt nhân bị hạn chế, theo Kristy Jackson của Đại học bang Colorado, với một hoặc hai cha mẹ (ví dụ: cha và mẹ) và con riêng của họ, hoặc con cái, sống cùng nhau trong một ngôi nhà hoặc những ngôi nhà khác. Trong nhân học, họ chỉ phải liên quan đến thời trang này; không có giới hạn trên hoặc dưới về số lượng trẻ em trong một gia đình hạt nhân.
Đại gia đình là một thuật ngữ mơ hồ hơn nhiều, nhưng về bản chất đề cập đến họ hàng hoặc quan hệ không được định nghĩa ở trên. Ở châu Âu và châu Á lịch sử cũng như ở các nền văn hóa thổ dân Trung Đông, châu Phi và Nam Mỹ, các nhóm gia đình mở rộng thường là đơn vị cơ bản nhất của tổ chức xã hội. Thuật ngữ này có thể khác nhau trong các cài đặt văn hóa cụ thể, nhưng thường bao gồm những người liên quan đến tuổi hoặc theo dòng dõi. Về mặt nhân học, thuật ngữ Gia đình kéo dài, đề cập đến một nhóm sống chung trong một gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ sống cùng nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông lớn tuổi nhất hoặc bởi một số nhân vật lãnh đạo được lựa chọn khác. Tuy nhiên, theo cách nói thông thường, thuật ngữ đại gia đình thường được mọi người sử dụng đơn giản chỉ để nói đến anh em họ, cô dì, chú bác của họ, mặc dù họ không sống chung trong một nhóm.
Trong lịch sử, hầu hết mọi người trên thế giới đã sống trong các nhóm đại gia đình hơn là trong các gia đình hạt nhân. Điều này thậm chí còn đúng ở châu Âu và ở Hoa Kỳ thời kỳ đầu, nơi nhiều thế hệ thường sống cùng nhau vì lý do kinh tế. Trong thế kỷ 20, thu nhập trung bình đã tăng đủ cao để sống xa nhau khi các gia đình hạt nhân trở thành một lựa chọn khả thi cho đại đa số người dân Mỹ. Ngược lại, nhiều xã hội bản địa và cư dân của các nước đang phát triển tiếp tục có nhiều thế hệ sống trong cùng một hộ gia đình. Sự gia tăng của gia đình hạt nhân ở phương Tây hiện đại không nhất thiết có nghĩa là sự sắp xếp gia đình cũng ổn định. Sự tăng trưởng nhanh chóng trong các hộ gia đình đơn thân, chẳng hạn, cũng thể hiện một sự thay đổi đáng kể trong gia đình hạt nhân truyền thống. Nhiều cặp vợ chồng cũng đang chọn không có con chút nào.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
