第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Chinese culture values family bonds (纽带) very much. Family members don’t just gather during the holidays, in fact they often live under one roof all year round.

Different cultures have different family values. 36

In most East Asian cultures, extended families(大家庭) are common. 37 According to the Atlantic, 90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of children in Beijing were cared for by their grandparents. Chinese people believe that “a grandparent is a treasure to their family”.

In many Western countries，most families are nuclear families (小家庭). These are only made up of children and their parents.

Additionally, the duties parents have toward their children can also differ.

38 It’s normal for parents to pay for their chi l dren’s college, help them find a job, or buy them

a n apartment. Chinese adults also follow their parents’ opinions when making major life decisions, more often than not.

In most Western countries, however, kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. 39 Also, if they choose to keep living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen by some as a failure on their part.

While the East cares more about close family bonds, the West values privacy and independence.

40 Families will always be a source of love, warmth, and care for people around the world.

A. These families have three or even four generations living together.

B. Nuclear families are the most common type in China.

C. In China, many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood.

D. Families in the east and west are very different from each other.

E. But in the end, home is best — east or west.
