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 family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has
undergone substantial changes during the twentieth century. In particular, there has been a rise in the
number of single-person households, which increased from 18 to 29 percent of all households
between 1971 and 2002. By the year 2030, it is estimated that there will be more single people than
married people. Fifty years ago, this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.
In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and
took a long time. Today, people's views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their
twenties or thirties, live together (cohabit) without getting married. Only about 60% of these couples
will eventually get married.
In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain
are born to unmarried (cohabiting) parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between
Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 169

the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families
without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 percent of
births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.
People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have
children immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late
thirties. The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages
ending in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being
married.

Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat.
We spend about a third of our lives in sleep. That's about 121 days a year! 
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.
Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours
of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3
hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down

the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. 
This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people
had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to
another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of his bed.
