高中期末英语阅读练习三：family system

　　英文总是让人头疼，而英文阅读更是，下面小编整理了几篇高中期末英语阅读练习，有需要地同学可以自行练习一下。

　　family system

　　Not very long ago, a special family system(体系) existed in certain parts of South India. In this system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother‘s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle-their mother‘s brother.

　　But this system, in which brother and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic changes have had far reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent. This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relation-ships.

　　不久前，一个特殊的家庭系统(体系)在南印度的某些部分存在。在这个系统中，一个家庭单位的实际负责人是母亲的大哥，虽然母亲在家庭中也有一个重要的地位。在这种家庭中，一个丈夫实际上是一个客人。他没有和他的妻子住在一起，而是和他自己的母亲，在另一个房子里的兄弟姐妹们一起生活。他有时看到自己的儿子和女儿，但真正喂养和照顾他们的.人，并采取他们的父亲是他们的叔叔他们的母亲的兄弟。

　　但这个系统，在其中的兄弟姐妹取代父亲的地方，不再存在于印度南部，除了在几个村庄。经济的变化对家庭生活有深远的影响。当男人们外出在工厂和办公室工作，而不是与他们的母亲，兄弟姐妹们一起工作的时候，他们的家庭生活开始改变了。当一个人出去工作时，他有自己的钱，可以买自己的土地，建立自己的家庭，而不是依靠他的母亲和他的兄弟们。他想独立。这是一个经济关系可以对家族关系影响的方式的一个例子。
