9、II Questions 11—20 are based on Passage 3? Passage 3 China has 267 million families. About 10 million newlyweds establish new households every year. Many of these new households differ significantly from traditional families. Today women play a major role in the family. The old patriarchal famil

10、y is being replaced by a more or less equal spousal relationship. This change was not simply a result of Chinese laws that stipulate men and women are equals. Chinese women are receiving more education, are actively employed and are making significant contributions to family incomes. Their financial

11、 contribution has increased from 20 percent in the 1950s to 40 percent today. In some families it is even higher.

18、 changed significantly since Chinas reform and opening to the outside world.

19、e lives. Most women marry between the ages of 20 to 24.
