. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people39。s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.(1)Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage? A.The development of science and industry in America.B.The influence of science and industry on American families.C.Harmful effect of industrialization.D.Social problems resulting from the highlydeveloped science and industry in America.(2)What kinds of families are described in the passage? A.Families of the past and the present.B.Families of the present and the future.C.Families of the past and the future.D.Families of the past, the present and the future.(3)What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America?

In 1928 she finished her education in Vassar College in Maths and Physics. Since 1931, she had been teaching at Vassar and continued her study at Yale University, where she achieved a lot in Maths in 1934. In 1930, Grace Murray married Vincent Foster Hopper.

Brewster Academy, a school in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, the United States, gave its puter lab to her for free in 1985, calling it the Grace Murray Hopper Centre for Computer Learning. She had spent her childhood summer at a local family in Wolfeboro. She passed away in her sleep in 1992. Since her death, her workmate Elenor Briggs has been going on with her work.
