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 from 36 to 43.
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.
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.

Sự khác biệt giữa gia đình hạt nhân và gia đình mở rộng là gia đình hạt nhân chỉ một đơn vị gia đình cơ bản gồm cha mẹ và con cái của họ, trong khi gia đình mở rộng bao gồm cả nguwoif thân của họ như ông bà, bố mẹ, cô dì chú bác…Trong nhiều nền văn hóa, và đặc biệt là các xã hội bản địa, loại hình thứ hai là hình thức phổ biến nhất của tổ chức xã hội.
Theo Kristy Jackson thuộc Đại học Bang Colorado, gia đình hạt nhân có giới hạn, cho một hoặc cả hai cha mẹ (ví dụ như cha và mẹ) và một đứa con của họ, hoặc nhiều đứa, sống chung trong một ngôi nhà hoặc nhiều ngôi nhà khác. Trong nhân chủng học, họ chỉ có liên quan theo cách này; không có giới hạn trên hoặc dưới đối với số con trong một gia đình hạt nhân.
Gia đình mở rộng là một thuật ngữ mơ hồ hơn nhiều, nhưng về bản chất đề cập đến thân nhân hoặc quan hệ không được định nghĩa ở trên. Trong lịch sử châu Âu và châu Á cũng như ở các nền văn minh thổ dân ở 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 có thể khác nhau trong các bối cảnh văn hóa cụ thể, nhưng nói chung bao gồm những người liên quan đến tuổi tác hoặc huyết thống.
Về mặt nhân chủng học, thuật ngữ “gia đình mở rộng” dùng để chỉ một nhóm người sống chung trong một hộ gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ cùng sống chung với nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông nhiều tuổi nhất hoặc bởi người lãnh đạo được lựa chọn. Tuy nhiên, theo cách hiểu chung, thuật ngữ “gia đình mở rộng” thường được mọi người sử dụng để chỉ họ hàng, cô dì, chú bác,…mặc dù họ không sống cùng nhau trong một nhóm.

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 from 28 to 35.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen friendships — and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day — 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication — almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in the gaming world-89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity-62 percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences-21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media — teens also have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their friends on social media."

It is parents' duty and responsibility to ______ hands to take care of their children and give them a happy home.
