18、 developed in some cultures. Now 38to their children,people lived together with their parents and even grandparents。 How are families changing today? The number of nuclear families（核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39 。 One reason for this

24、 gone wrong。 There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects， but many places for scientists are not taken up. The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical。 They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university educ
25、ation. Why have their calculations proved wrong?

32、erican auto—makers tend to build bigger， heavier cars。 The price of gasoline has much to do with this.
