　　Unit 3 This is my sister. 文化背景知識(shí)介紹

　　1. There are many nontraditional families in the United States. Currently, children are being raised by single or divorced parents, guardians, parents of different religions or races, adoptive parents and so on.

However, this is a little bit formal and not very common.

　　3. Traditionally, children will leave home when they go to college and live in a dormitory on campus or in apartment housing located near the college. In order to save money, however, some young adults live at home with their parents while attending a local college.

As Americans do not usually live in extended families, most parents do not live with their children when they become senior citizens. Senior citizens sometimes live in retirement communities for people of similar age. Many retirement communities organize activities for senior citizens and can provide security
