    Father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast．The two children take the bus to school，and mother stays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening. This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain．But is it true today?

The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structure of families in Britain．The biggest change has been caused by divorce, which leads to a situation where many children live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or holidays．

There has “so been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work. The large rise in divorces(离婚)has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce，many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities，though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas.

There has also been a sharp increase ____________ single mothers，particularly among teenagers．Some people have blamed this increase for the rise in crime．They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society．

    However these changes have not had a totally negative effect．For women，it is now much easier to have a career and good salary．Children themselves grow up more independent and mature(成熟的)  than in the past．

Do you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for  celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.
Here are some tips for preventing（阻止） weight gain and maintaining（维持） physical fitness:

Control the amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to "load up". You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist.
Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.
Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk help to burn off excess calories.
