Summary and Respond
Over the past twenty years, research has observed that American family has changed in several ways. The most prominent change is that working parents dedicate far more time to their families than their parents' generation did. These days parents' education time increase, and many couples opt to marry at an older age. They are delaying have children because they want to have more time together.
As educational and employment opportunities for women increase, marriage is no longer the only path to economic security, emotional support, social respectability, and meaningful work. Over the lat twenty years, there has been a huge increase in the number of people who remain single. In Australia, for example, approximately one in twelve
people lives alone, and this number is expected to double over the next twenty years. Most people who often give for staying single is that they have not met the right person. Others say that marriage involves too much commitment and responsiblity, or that they prefer the single lifestyle.

No more test anxiety
This passage is based on information about how to avoid test anxiety. This experience helps other students improve in test-taking. First of all learning occurs through studying that takes place over a period of time. Second, cramming increases anxiety, interferes with clear thinking, and parents getting a good night's sleep. Third, on the test day, scanning the entire test to see what types of questions are included is a good strategy. Then, test takes should read all the questions first and use the margin for phrases that relate to the answer when you take an essay test. Last, skipping and going on when you have trouble with a certain answer to the question, making it for later identification, returning to the unanswered question if you have time at the end of rest is a good strategy.
One idea that i can relate to is that cramming is a bad idea. I know this from personal experience. When I was a high school student, I always used to cram unfortunately. High school students in China had a lot of homework to do. I usually went to sleep at 2:00am and got up 6:30am. We had classes 6days and a half on a week, every day the classes were from 7:10 in the morning to 10:20 in the night. That was senior high students' schedule. At the same time, we had a lot of small tests or big tests every week. That is such a crazy time, it is made us really tired the next day. For example, a lot of the students slept in classroom tables during class breaks. Every day we didn't sleep very well, in the daytime many students couldn't concentrate during class. Some students over slept during test time. It made a negative cycle. If we couldn't absorb the entire knowledge from teachers, we couldn't get a high score. These days, I am in United States. There is different education betweent China. I can plan my study schedule, and sleep well in night. So I can do some things i like in the free time. I think that is good for American students.
