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 1 to 5.
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years old. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.

ASEAN, one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, is witnessing the world's biggest jump in greenhouse gas emissions. Southeast Asia faces a dual challenge. It not only must adapt to climate change caused largely by greenhouse gas emissions over decades but also the economic development at the same time.
The weather
The region has shifted to a new climate pattern when the summer months will be warmer, and the winter will be colder than ever before. The extreme weather has occurred more often. In the Philippines, there are 20 typhoons on annual average, with increasing destruction. Rising sea levels, along with a long period of dry, will hurt agriculture in the fertile Mekong Delta. Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand are also affected by storms as well as by heat extremes that has severe impacts on agriculture and human health.
The economic impact
Average temperatures in Southeast Asia have risen every decade since 1960. Viet Nam, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand are among the countries of the region most affected by climate change. Southeast Asia may suffer bigger economic losses than most regions in the world as climate change has negative effects on key sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and fishing, along with human health and labor productivity. In the absence of technical breakthroughs, rice yields in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam could drop by as much as 50 percent.
