FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney for the family.
He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children.
Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Theo các nhà nghiên cứu, những người không muốn ngủ có nguy cơ mắc bệnh đau tim gấp đôi nguy cơ đau tim bình thường . Các nhà khoa học cho biết thức giấc thường xuyên vào ban đêm được xem như một lời cảnh báo về sức khoẻ không lành mạnh trong tương lai. Nghiên cứu gần đấy cho thấy rằng 13.000 người là những người phải vật lộn để ngủ vào ban đêm là 99% có nguy cơ bị đau tim hoặc đau thắt ngực nghiêm trọng. Những người mất hơn nửa giờ để ngủ hoặc ngủ ít hơn sáu giờ đồng hồ cũng có nguy cơ gia tăng bệnh . Nghiên cứu của Nhật Bản đã không xác định được lý do tại sao lại có một mối liên hệ mạnh mẽ giữa giấc ngủ và sức khoẻ của trái tim. Nhưng các nhà khoa học cho biết, hành động thức tỉnh liên tục có thể gây ra tình trạng "kích hoạt quá mức" trong hệ thần kinh, làm tăng nhịp tim và huyết áp, gây thêm căng thẳng lên tim. Ngủ kém cũng có thể là triệu chứng của tình trạng sức khoẻ kém, có nghĩa là những người có vấn đề về tim ít có khả năng ngủ ngon giấc. Cuộc nghiên cứu cho thấy những người phải mất hơn nửa giờ để ngủ có nguy cơ đau tim tăng 52% và 48% nguy cơ cơ thể bị đột quỵ tăng cao. Và những người có ít hơn sáu giờ để ngủ một đêm là 24 % nhiều khả năng bị đau tim.
