Two - parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. And families are smaller now, both due to the growth of single - parent households and the drop in fertility. Not only are Americans having fewer children, but the circumstances surrounding parenthood have changed, while in the early 1960s babies typically arrived within a marriage, today fully four - in - ten births occur to women who are single or living with a non - marital partner. At the same time that family structures have transformed, so has the role of mothers in the workplace - and in the home. As more moms have entered the labor force, more have become breadwinners - in many cases, primary breadwinners - in their families.

5. TAPESCRIPTS Part I. Listen to the introduction to the significant features of Seoul, Korea. Answer the following questions. TRACK 17 Seoul is the largest city in South Korea as well as the political and economic capital. Administratively, Seoul is divided into 25 districts, each with an area and population comparable to a small city. The districts are then further subdivided into 522 sub-districts. The city houses 11.8 million people, and the metropolitan area has 25.6 million, which is just over half of the population of South Korea. By some measures, it is the worlds second largest urban agglomeration, after Tokyo. Seoul as the capital city of Korea has a history back to the 14th century. While few historical points of interest remain (most of the temples and palaces are reconstructions), much of Seoul’s infrastructure is exceptionally modern and clean. Skyscrapers and high rises abound. The subway system is the third - largest in the world and perhaps one of the finest. In recent years, Seoul has been swamped with tourists from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, following the success of Korean pop culture. There are a lot to see and do here. There are nine big parks in the city, with a lot of temples and shrines. Coming here, you can go skiing, bet on horse racing and go to a casino and enjoy performing arts. There are also a lot of spas, saunas and massage rooms for you to relax. Part II. Listen again and fill in the blank with a suitable word or phrase. TRACK 18 5
