　　Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry．

　　In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children．In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents．Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby．But when industry became more important than agriculture(農(nóng)業(yè))in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary．And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can．Therefore, at present people tend(易于)to have smaller families．

　　In the future, because of industrialization(工業(yè)化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller．The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman．A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work．At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job．

little.

think that it's the other side of the world. It's only six pence per second (每秒六便士)." 　　
     "If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat,' David says,"And one minute's nearly
four pounds (英鎊)." 　　
     "That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat," Linda answers. 　　
     She has asked the man at the hotel (旅館) desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it
up. 　　
      "Hello, Mum. Is that you?" She says. 　　
     "Six pence per second,"David reminds (提醒) her. 　　
    ''Hello., love." It is Mrs Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London."I can hear you very clearly just like
you are in the next room. It's a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I
shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes." 　　
    "Yes, Mum." Linda puts in.."I just wanted to ring to ……." 　　
    "I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then
when you …" Mrs Lee is a great talker 　　
    "Nearly four pounds." says David. 　　
    Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye. 　　
     "Yes, all right," says Mrs Lee, "But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work …" 　　
     Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass. and there is no stopping her. "Four pounds fifty, 'says David. 　　At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
