This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children. Most couples wanted to have four chil
17、dren, two boys, two girls.Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations. This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family. This family type was not very common during the later half
18、of the twentieth century, but its becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter. This is more possible now that American homes have become larger. What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own famil
19、ies, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits.Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family. In the fatherl
20、ess family its just the mother and her children. As I said, this can be the result of the husbands death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce. There are also a growing number of motherless families-where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons. A motherless family
21、may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult. This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughters children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common. A single parent with one or mor
22、e children will marry again. Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent. Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.（分数：12.00）(1).Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless famil

36、e. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait haft an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This years attendance was estimated at 70,
37、000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and divers
38、e foreign foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from

We love it, “said the husband. “Its just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.“ The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed.
