二、阅读理解：选择题（每题10 分）

Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan

to have children. Several years ago, people thought that having big

families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That was

mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide

for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living

getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer

considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples consider that

they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become

parents at all.

According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women

aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to

two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have

had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).

In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than

three or more children–a trend that was most marked in the most

recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days,

most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women

who had given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.
