问题     The family is a social institution. The importance of the family in an individual’s life usually depends on the size of the society. In small, primitive (原始的，早期的) societies, the family is the dominant social institution in an individual’s life. In larger, more complex societies, other social institutions are created to meet the needs of an individual.
    There are two basic family structures. The first structure is the extended family. The extended family includes all of an individual’s blood relatives, including spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. The nuclear family is limited to the basic family nucleus: father, mother, and children.
    The extended family structure tends to exist in agricultural societies. In such societies family ties serve as a strong source of cultural and societal interaction. The nuclear family structure tends to exist in industrialized societies. In industrial societies, other social institutions (such as religion, education, and government) act as the primary sources of cultural and societal interaction.
Which of the following best illustrates the idea of the extended family?
选项 A、A son travels from New York to Chicago to visit his parents.
B、A father and his children go to church.
C、A man and woman marry and move away from their parents.
D、A young girl learns how to read from her grandmother.
答案D
解析 从文中第二段我们得知，在大家庭中包括了所有与个人血缘有关系的人。而核心家庭只包括父母和孩子。选项D说一个小姑娘从她祖母那里学会了怎样阅读，我们可知这个小姑娘生活在一个大家庭中。其他三个选项均不符合扩展家庭的含义。
