For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single linethrough the center.复习1Passage OneAsk a mom if she's happier now that she has a child, and she'll usually say yes. But psychologists who study happiness often report a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. "Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy" says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan. In fact, on their list ofenjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting!One reason for the difference between moms and experts: selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because they're thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When they're specifically asked to describe their actual daily routine, they remember the hours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed.Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. "Happiness is more than just that smiley feeling," says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning."16. Which of the following best summarizes Peter Ubel’s opinion of being the mom of a youngchild?A. It makes the mom exhausted.B. It is both rewarding and stressful.C. It makes the mom easily irritated.D. It is quite frustrating an experience.17. According to a University of Michigan study, which of the following ranks higher thanchildcare on moms’ list of enjoyable activities?A. eating, housework or commutingB. eating, exercising or watching TVC. exercising, housework or watching TVD. exercising, commuting or watching TV18. What does the underlined phrase selective memory in the third paragraph mean?A. Moms often tend to remember only the happy moments with their children.B. Moms often tend to remember only the hours they spent taking care of their children.C. Experts tend to remember only the happy moments the moms spend with their children.D. Experts tend to remember only the hours the moms spend with their children.19. According to Karen Reivich, how do the moms’ moments of intense joy compare with theirdaily frustrations?A. Those moments make them feel more excited.B. Those moments make them feel more relaxed.C. Those moments can overcome their daily frustrations.D. Those moments can do nothing about their daily frustrations.20. From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that__________.A. Moms have only the smiley feeling about childcare.B. Moms feel frustrated at taking care of their children.C. Moms enjoy doing housework as a part of their childcare.D. Moms regard childcare as a meaningful part of their lives.Passage TwoDo you go to bed without brushing your teeth? You may think that not brushing is not a big deal. But caring for your mouth can prevent serious (and even embarrassing) problems.Cavities happen to just about everyone. A cavity is a diseased spot in the tooth. It all starts with a sticky film made up of bacteria. That film coats your teeth and gums. The bacteria eat sugars from things you eat and drink. That produces acids. Then, the acids eat away at your teeth's hard outer coating, called enamel.If you don't brush regularly to remove the film, or if you keep missing a spot, those acids keep eating away the teeth's enamel. That is how you get a cavity. "The larger it gets, the closer it gets to the nerve, increasing the chance of severe pain," says Lynn Ramer, president of the American Dentists' Association.A cavity will never just go away by itself. It will only get worse. "Left untreated, 100 percent of the time a cavity will spread," says Dr. William Berlocher, a dentist who is also president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.If a cavity is caught early enough, your dentist will be able to fix your tooth. The area of the tooth where the cavity was will be replaced with a special material called a filling. Some fillings are made of a metal blend containing silver. Other fillings are a tooth-colored mix of glass and a strong material called resin.If you ignore a cavity, it will spread. It can go into the tooth's root. At that point, the dentist will have to do a root canal. In that procedure, the dentist removes the tooth's nerve.21.According to the second paragraph, what is a cavity?A. a diseased spot in the toothB. a film of acids coating the teethC. a sticky film made up of bacteriaD. a hard outer coating covering the teeth22. What would happen if you do not brush regularly?A. The film coating your teeth would be removed.B. There would be less diseased spots in your teeth.C. The film coating your teeth would be less sticky.D. The acids would keep eating away your teeth’s hard outer coating.23. If a cavity reac hes the tooth’s root, how would a dentist treat it?A. Replace the cavity with a fillingB. Replace the tooth’s enamelC. Remove the tooth’s nerveD. Pull out the tooth24. According to the fifth paragraph, what are some fillings made of?A. a mix of silver and resinB. a metal blend containing glassC. a metal blend containing copperD. a mix of glass and resin25. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain the formation and treatment of cavityB. emphasize the importance of brushing teethC. discuss the proper ways of brushing teethD. describe how a dentist treats a cavityPassage ThreeSmall talk is like having loose change in your pocket. Like quarters for a pay phone, loose change comes in handy when you least expect it. But when it comes to small talk, you must know when to spend it or save it.All small talk is not the same. With some people, you walk away having killed a few moments. With others, you feel a connection and want to get to know them better. The difference is the effort one or both of you made at making a connection. It helps to call the person by name, mention things you have in common (mutual acquaintances, places you've been, experiences you've shared, career or personal goals), show interest in that person's views or hobbies, and match the other person's speaking style, voice, emotion and body language as you talk.People feel being related to others who like them, appreciate them, enjoy the same things they do and are helpful to them. Time and attention make connections that last.When you're considering small talk, be sensitive to the other person's mood and circumstances. When your airplane seatmate is obviously preoccupied, leave him or her alone. Neither would you approach someone when the person is dashing down a hallway to a meeting. On other occasions, small talk is inappropriate because of the person involved. If the CEO has unexpectedly called you in for "a little chat," this is not the time to take the lead. Let him or her dictate the topic and pace. The same is true with customers. Develop a sixth sense about those who appreciate small talk and those who don't.26. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase comes in handy in the first paragraph?A. becomes very usefulB. becomes very specialC. becomes very importantD. becomes very inconvenient27. According to the second paragraph, how can you make a connection with others?A. mention your unique experiencesB. describe others’ dressing stylesC. talk about others’ hobbie sD. discuss others’ names28. If you want to make others’ feel related to you, you may need to__________.A. spend time chatting with themB. show how excellent you areC. give presents to themD. be helpful to them29. According to the fourth paragraph, on what occasion should you avoid making small talk withothers?A. when others are strolling on the streetB. when your airplane seatmate asks you for a favorC. when your airplane seatmate is absorbed in thoughtD. when others are walking down the hallway after a meeting30. According to the last paragraph, what should you do when your CEO has unexpectedly calledyou in for “a little chat”?A.let the CEO dictate the topic and paceB.talk about the difficulties in your workC.take the lead to make small talkD.decide on the topic of talkPassage FourA biological clock is what tells plants, animals, and other organisms how to organize their time. This ‘clock’ helps plants and animals change their routine when they move to places with different climates and environments. Most biological clocks are based on the movement of the sun and follow a twenty-four hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Some animals sleep only at night, making them diurnal. Animals that sleep during daytime are nocturnal. Flowers are diurnal because they close their petals at night but they open again in the morning. Bats sleep in the daytime so they are nocturnal.Some biological clocks also follow an annual cycle, especially in animals that have annual migrations. Animals that have annual cycles do different things at different times of year. Their actions are determined by the seasons.Different animals can live in the same area when their biological clocks make them look for food at different times of day. This process also keeps them out of each other's way. Biological clocks help plants and animals prepare for changes in the seasons. Animals need to know what time of year to reproduce so their offspring will be born when the conditions for survival are good.Human beings' sleep cycle is a circadian rhythm, a system based on the twenty-four hour day. In the circadian rhythm most humans sleep at night. When people travel to different time zones their biological clocks have to adjust. In humans, the biological clock is in a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN.) The SCN is located near the bottom middle part of the brain.Scientists are continuing to research the biological clock and circadian rhythms. Scientists discovered the first circadian gene in a mammal (a mouse) in 1997. It is only a matter of time before your own biological clock will tell YOU the time!31.Which of the following type of animal or plant is nocturnal?A. human beingsB. flowersC. batsD. cows32.What is a circadian rhythm?A. a twenty-four hour cycle of most biological blocksB.the closure and opening of the petals of flowersC. a cycle of some animals’ annual migrationD.the movement rhythm of the sun33.According to the third paragraph, why can different animals live in the same area peacefully?A.Because they look for different types of food.B.Because their conditions for survival are good.C.Because they do different things at different times of year.D.Because their biological clocks keep them out of each other’s way.34.Where is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) located?A.the bottom middle part of the brainB.the bottom left part of the brainC.the top right part of the brainD.the top left part of the brain35.From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that __________.A.We still lack a full understanding of our own biological clock.B.Our own biological clock is a lot different from that of a mouse.C.We have already known much about the circadian rhythms of mammals.D.There is still a lot to be done before your own biological clock will tell you the time.复习2Passage OneAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reached those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents andchildren, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.1.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him __________.A.at birthB.through educationC.both at birth and through educationD.more at birth than through education2.If a child is born with low intelligence he can __________.A.never become a geniusB.still become a genius if he should be given special educationC.exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD.not exceed his intelligence limits even in rich surroundings3.In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population--”means if we __________.A.pick any two personsB.take out two different personsC.choose two persons who are relativeD.choose two persons with different intelligence4.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows__________.A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positionD.the part that birth places5.The best title of this passage can be __________.A.SurroundingsB.IntelligenceC.Dependence on EnvironmentD.Effect of EducationPassage TwoBefore the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full ofdiscarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?6.The writer says that it is a good time to see Britain before the trees have leaves becauseA. Britain looks perfect.B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest.C. you can see how dirty Britain is now.D. the grass has thickened on the verges.7.According to the writer, things used to be___________.A. worse abroad.B. the same abroad.C. better abroad.D. worse, but now things are better abroad.8.To solve the problem of plastic bags, Michael Meacher__________A. followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.C. made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.D. had problems with the plastics industry who weren't bothered about the tax.9.As to what can be done, the writer thinks __________A. it is too late to do anything.B. we are at the tipping point.C. there is more than one way to solve the problem.D. we need to work together to solve the problem.10.The writer thinks that__________。

以婚姻是以金钱为基础写一篇英文作文
以婚姻是以金钱为基础写一篇英文作文Marriage, a union often sanctified by vows of eternal companionship, has been a cornerstone of human society for centuries. It is a complex interweaving of emotional, social, and often, financial threads. The notion that marriage is fundamentally rooted in financial stability is not without merit, and it is a perspective that warrants a nuanced exploration.The intertwining of love and money in marriage is as old as the institution itself. Historically, marriages were often arranged to secure economic advantages or to consolidate wealth and power. Even today, financial stability is considered a critical foundation upon which a successful marriage is built. It is not to say that love is absent in these unions, but rather that money often acts as the soil from which the flower of love can bloom with greater assurance.Financial harmony is crucial in a marriage. Disagreements over money management are cited as a leading cause of marital strife and divorce. When both partners are on the same financial page, it creates a sense of security and unity. It allows couples to plan for the future, whether it be buying a home, investing in education, or saving for retirement. These shared goals and the collaborative effort to achieve them can strengthen the bonds of marriage.Moreover, the economic benefits of marriage are well-documented. Married couples often enjoy tax benefits, shared health insurance, and the ability to pool resources for major purchases. There is also the intangible benefit of having a partner to share the financial burdens of life, which can alleviate individual stress and contribute to overall well-being.However, the assertion that marriage is based solely on financial considerations is a reductionist view that overlooks the multifaceted nature of the relationship. Love, respect, companionship, and shared values are equally important pillars of a marriage. While financial compatibility contributes to marital harmony, it is the emotional and spiritual connections that truly define the essence of the union.In an ideal world, love would be the sole currency of marriage. Yet, the practical realities of life dictate that money cannot be divorced from the equation. It is a tool that, when managed wisely, can provide comfort, opportunities, and a safety net. But it should not be the chain that binds two people together, nor the sole factor in choosing a life partner.In conclusion, while financial stability plays a significant role in the foundation of marriage, it is not the entirety of its basis. A marriage built only on the grounds of monetary gain is like a house built on sand—vulnerable to the tides of fortune. True marital success lies in the balance of financial prudence and the timeless virtues of love and commitment. It is in this balance that the true meaning of marriage is found, transcending the mere transactional nature to become a partnership of hearts and minds, as well as finances. 。
金钱于婚姻英语作文
金钱于婚姻英语作文Money and marriage are two topics that often come handin hand, with many people believing that financialstability is crucial for a successful union. However, the truth is much more nuanced.On the one hand, money can indeed be a significantfactor in a marriage. It can provide a sense of securityand stability, allowing couples to focus on building their relationship rather than constantly worrying about finances. Having enough money can also mean that they can enjoy life together, traveling, dining out, or simply buying thingsthat bring them joy.On the other hand, money can also be a source ofconflict in a marriage. Couples may have differentfinancial goals or habits, leading to arguments and misunderstandings. If one partner spends more than theother or has different priorities when it comes to savingor investing, it can create tension.

钱对婚姻来说是必不可少的英语作文
钱对婚姻来说是必不可少的英语作文Money is indispensable for marriage.Money plays a crucial role in the institution of marriage. From the very beginning, when a couple decides to tie the knot, there are several financial factors that come into play. The first and foremost is the cost of the wedding itself. Whether it's a small, intimate ceremony or a grand, extravagant affair, money is necessary to cover the expensesof the venue, catering, decorations, attire, and more.Without a sufficient amount of money, couples may find themselves compromising on their dream wedding, which canlead to disappointment and regret.Furthermore, once the wedding is over, the financial responsibilities do not end there. Marriage brings about a shared financial partnership, where both partners areexpected to contribute to the household expenses and bills.From mortgage or rent payments to utility bills and grocery costs, money is essential to maintain a comfortable and stable lifestyle. Without financial stability, couples may struggle to meet their basic needs, leading to stress and conflict in the relationship.In addition, money is also needed to plan for the future. Whether it's saving for a down payment on a house, starting a family, or investing in retirement funds, financial planning is crucial for the long-term success of a marriage. Without proper financial resources, couples may find it difficult to achieve their goals and aspirations, leading to dissatisfaction and resentment in the relationship.Moreover, money can also impact the dynamics of power and decision-making within a marriage. Financial disparities between partners can create a sense of inequality and imbalance, as the one who controls the money may hold more influence in the relationship. This can lead to resentmentand feelings of inadequacy, affecting the overall harmony and stability of the marriage.Overall, while love, trust, and communication are undoubtedly important in a marriage, the role of money should not be underestimated. It is a necessary tool that can either strengthen or strain the bonds of matrimony. Therefore, couples should prioritize open and honest discussions about their financial expectations and responsibilities to ensure a healthy and sustainable marriage.。

婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文
婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文English:Marriage should not be tainted by money, as it is meant to be a bond based on love, trust, and companionship. When money becomes the driving force behind a marriage, it can lead to conflicts, resentment, and ultimately the breakdown of the relationship. The focus should be on building a strong emotional connection, supporting each other through thick and thin, and working together towards common goals. While financial stability is important in a marriage, it should not be the sole or primary factor determining the success of the relationship. Couples should prioritize open communication, mutual respect, and shared values to cultivate a healthy and lasting marriage, rather than letting money overshadow the true essence of their love and commitment.中文翻译:婚姻不应该被金钱玷污,因为它本应是建立在爱情、信任和伴侣关系上的纽带。
婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文
婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文English:Marriage, at its core, is a sacred union built on love, trust, and mutual respect. Introducing money into this equation can taint the purity of these foundational elements. When financial concerns dominate a marriage, it can lead to resentment, power imbalances, and even a sense of transactionalism within the relationship. Couples may find themselves prioritizing financial gain over emotional connection, and decisions may be driven more by financial incentives than genuine affection. Moreover, the pursuit of wealth can distract couples from nurturing their emotional bond and investing time and effort into understanding and supporting each other's needs. In a marriage where money plays too significant a role, individuals may feel pressured to compromise their values or aspirations to maintain financial stability, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment. Ultimately, when money becomes the focal point of a marriage, it detracts from the essence of what truly sustains a healthy and meaningful partnership - love, communication, and shared values.中文翻译:婚姻本质上是建立在爱情、信任和相互尊重的神圣联盟之上。
金钱在婚姻中很重要英语作文
Money Matters in Marriage: A Double-Edged SwordIn the intricate web of marital relationships, money often plays a pivotal role, often being both a bindingforce and a potential source of contention. Thesignificance of financial considerations in marriage cannot be overstated, as they extend far beyond mere transactions and encompass the broader aspects of trust, responsibility, and power dynamics.Firstly, money acts as a catalyst for union, enabling couples to pool their resources and achieve common goals. Financial stability provides a solid foundation for a marriage, enabling partners to pursue their dreams and ambitions without the constant worry of basic necessities. When both parties contribute equally to the household economy, it fosters a sense of equality and mutual respect, which is integral to a healthy marital relationship.However, the same financial resources that bind canalso divide. Money can become a touchy subject, leading to arguments and misunderstandings if not handled delicately. Different priorities and spending habits can create tension,especially when one partner feels they are carrying anunfair financial burden. Additionally, the pursuit ofwealth can sometimes lead to neglect of other important aspects of marriage, such as emotional and intellectual connection.Moreover, money can expose underlying issues within a marriage. For instance, financial infidelity, such assecret spending or hiding assets, can shatter trust andlead to deeper cracks in the relationship. Additionally, financial decisions can reflect power imbalances, with one partner dominating financial matters to the extent that it affects the other's sense of autonomy and worth.In conclusion, while money is indeed important in marriage, it is not the sole determinant of a successful union. It is how the couple manages their financial affairs, handles conflicts, and maintains open communication that truly matters. A healthy marital relationship should strive for a balance where money is used as a tool to enhance the bond, rather than be the cause of division. By prioritizing transparency, mutual respect, and responsible financial decision-making, couples can navigate the complexities ofmoney in marriage and build a strong foundation for alifetime of happiness and fulfillment.**金钱在婚姻中的重要性:一把双刃剑**在错综复杂的婚姻关系中,金钱往往扮演着至关重要的角色,既是纽带,也可能是矛盾的根源。
金钱是婚姻的必需品吗英语作文
Can Money Buy a Happy MarriageWhen it comes to marriage, the role of money is a topic that often sparks debate. Some people believe that money is essential for a happy marriage, while others argue that it is not the most crucial factor. In this essay, I will explore both perspectives and offer my own opinion.On one hand, money can provide a certain level of security and comfort in a marriage. It allows couples to afford a decent home, provide for their children's education, and handle unexpected expenses. Financial stability can reduce stress and conflicts related to money, which can have a positive impact on the relationship. Additionally, having enough money can enable couples to enjoy leisure activities, travel, and pursue their hobbies together, enhancing the quality of their time spent as a couple.However, it is important to note that money alone cannot guarantee a happy marriage. A marriage based solely on financial considerations may lack true emotional connection and mutual understanding. Love, respect, communication, and shared values are equally, if not more, important in building a strong and lasting marital bond. Without these elements, even a wealthy marriage can be filled with emptiness and dissatisfaction.Furthermore, money can also bring its own set of problems. The pursuit of wealth can sometimes lead to excessive work hours, neglect of family, and a focus on material possessions rather than on therelationship itself. Disagreements over financial matters, such as spending habits or financial goals, can also cause tension and arguments within a marriage.In conclusion, while money can play a role in a marriage, it is not the sole determinant of happiness. A healthy and fulfilling marriage requires a combination of financial stability, emotional connection, and mutual respect. Couples should strive to find a balance between the practical aspects of life and the emotional well-being of their relationship. By focusing on building a strong foundation based on love and understanding, couples can create a marriage that withstands the challenges of life, regardless of their financial situation.。

用英语写结婚的利与弊作文
Marriage is a significant milestone in many peoples lives, often celebrated and cherished for the lifelong commitment it represents. However, like any major life decision, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. As a high school student, Ive observed the institution of marriage from various perspectives, through family, friends, and media, and Id like to share my thoughts on this complex topic.Advantages of Marriage1. Emotional Security: One of the most profound benefits of marriage is the emotional security it offers. Its a bond that promises companionship and support through lifes ups and downs. Ive seen my parents rely on each other in times of stress and joy, and its heartwarming to witness their mutual support.2. Financial Stability: Marriage can also bring financial benefits, such as shared expenses and pooled resources. My uncle, for instance, mentioned how combining incomes allowed them to save for a house and vacations more easily than they could have individually.3. Legal Protections: The legal framework surrounding marriage offers numerous protections and rights. From inheritance to healthcare decisions, being married provides a safety net that unmarried couples often lack.4. Family and Social Support: Marriage often strengthens family ties and expands social networks. Its not just about the couple its about becoming part of a larger family unit that can offer additional support and guidance.5. Parenting: For many, marriage provides a stable environment to raise children. The structure and commitment of marriage can be beneficial for a childs development and wellbeing.Disadvantages of Marriage1. Loss of Freedom: While the benefits are many, marriage also comes witha loss of personal freedom. Decisions that were once individual now become joint, and this can sometimes lead to conflict or a feeling of being constrained.2. Financial Stress: Sharing finances can also be a source of stress. Disagreements over spending, saving, and financial goals can strain a relationship, as Ive seen in some of my friends parents.3. Expectations and Pressure: Society often places high expectations on married couples, which can lead to pressure and dissatisfaction. The idea of a perfect marriage can be a heavy burden to bear.4. Potential for Divorce: Despite the commitment, not all marriages last. The emotional and financial toll of a divorce can be devastating, and its a risk that every couple faces.5. Compromise and Sacrifice: Marriage requires compromise, and sometimes this means giving up personal dreams or aspirations. Ive seen friends parents make significant sacrifices for the sake of their marriage,which can be both admirable and saddening.Balancing the ScalesThe decision to marry is deeply personal and varies from person to person. Its important to weigh the emotional, financial, and social implications carefully. For some, the benefits of companionship, support, and family far outweigh the potential drawbacks. For others, the risks and pressures might seem too great.In my observation, a successful marriage is built on mutual respect, open communication, and a shared vision of the future. Its not just about the wedding day its about the everyday commitment to each other. As I look to my future, I hope to learn from the experiences of those around me, to understand the true meaning of partnership and love.In conclusion, marriage is a complex institution with both profound benefits and challenging drawbacks. Its a decision that should be made with careful consideration and a deep understanding of what it means to be a committed partner. As I reflect on the marriages Ive witnessed, Im reminded of the beauty and the challenges that come with this lifelong commitment.。

The Purity of Marriage: Beyond the taint ofMoneyIn the intricate web of human relationships, marriage stands as a beacon of commitment, love, and mutual respect. It is an institution that transcends the bounds of mere companionship, encompassing a deep emotional and spiritual connection between two individuals. However, in recent times, the very essence of marriage seems to be getting increasingly clouded by the shadow of money and material wealth. This trend is not only detrimental to theinstitution of marriage but also to the fabric of societyat large.The role of money in marriage has always been a contentious issue. While some argue that money is merely a means to ensure a comfortable life for the couple, others believe that it is a corrupting influence that undermines the purity of love. Unfortunately, the latter view often seems to hold true in today's society. Many marriages are now being arranged based solely on financial considerations, with the partners' emotional compatibility and personal qualities taking a backseat. Such marriages are doomed tofail, as they lack the foundation of true love and mutual respect.The problem with marriage being influenced by money is that it reduces the institution to a mere business transaction. Love, which should be the sole driving force behind marriage, is replaced by cold calculations of wealth and status. This not only robs marriage of its sacredness but also sets a dangerous precedent for society at large.It encourages a culture of materialism and greed, where personal relationships are valued primarily based on their financial benefits.Moreover, when marriage is tainted by money, it becomes a tool for social climbing and power consolidation. This is particularly evident in arranged marriages, where families often seek to align themselves with wealthy and influential partners, regardless of the couple's compatibility. Such marriages are not based on love or mutual respect but on calculations of power and wealth. They are, therefore, doomed to fail as they lack the emotional and spiritual connection that is essential for a successful marriage.Additionally, the excessive focus on money in marriage can lead to serious mental and emotional problems for the individuals involved. The constant pursuit of wealth and material possessions can leave people feeling empty and dissatisfied. They may find themselves constantly comparing their lives to others and feeling inadequate orunsuccessful if they don't measure up. This kind ofpressure can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and even broken relationships.It is high time that we reevaluate our understanding of marriage and its purpose. Marriage should be seen as a sacred institution that is based solely on love, mutual respect, and trust. Money and material wealth should not be the sole determining factors in choosing a partner. Instead, we should focus on qualities like kindness, compassion, loyalty, and shared values. Only then can we hope to create lasting and fulfilling marriages that are free from thetaint of money.Moreover, society needs to foster a culture that values emotional and spiritual connections over material wealth. We need to encourage people to prioritize love andrelationships in their lives instead of constantly chasing after material possessions. By doing so, we can create a more compassionate and fulfilling society where love and relationships are truly valued and cherished.In conclusion, marriage is a beautiful institution that should be free from the taint of money. It is time that we rediscover the true meaning of marriage and focus on what really matters - love, mutual respect, and trust. By doing so, we can create lasting and fulfilling marriages that are free from the corrupting influence of money and material wealth.**婚姻的纯洁性:金钱的玷污之外**在人类错综复杂的关系网中,婚姻作为承诺、爱和相互尊重的象征,屹立不倒。
金钱对婚姻至关重要吗英语作文一百词
Money's Role in Marriage: A CrucialFactor or Mere Trivia?The significance of money in marriage has long been a topic of debate. While some argue that financial stability is essential for a successful marriage, others believe that love and emotional connection are more important. In my opinion, while money plays a role in marriage, it is not the sole determinant of its success.Financial stability can indeed provide a solid foundation for a marriage. It allows couples to afford the necessities of life, such as housing, food, and healthcare. It also enables them to plan for the future, save for emergencies, and provide a secure environment for their children. However, money cannot guarantee happiness or satisfaction in a relationship. If a couple lacks emotional connection, mutual respect, and shared values, their marriage may still fail despite their financial security.Moreover, relying solely on money as a measure of success in marriage can be dangerous. It may lead to an unhealthy focuson wealth accumulation, neglecting other important aspects of life such as personal growth, relationships, and health. Such an obsession with money can also create tension and conflicts within the marriage, as each partner may have different expectations and priorities regarding financial matters.In conclusion, while money is an important factor in marriage, it is not the most crucial one. A successful marriage is built on a solid foundation of love, respect, trust, and shared values. Financial stability can certainly enhance the quality of life in a marriage, but it cannot replace the emotional connection and mutual support that are essential for a lasting and fulfilling relationship.**金钱在婚姻中的角色:关键因素还是微不足道的小事?**金钱在婚姻中的重要性一直是一个备受争议的话题。

They believe that if you marry someone you love, you will be happy no matter what. Loveis like magic that makes everything better and more fun. It's like having a best friend, soulmate, and partner all in one. So, if you marry for love, you will have a happy and fulfilling life.On the other hand, there are some people who say that girls should marry for money because money is super important too. Money can buy you all the things you need and want like a nice house, fancy cars, and designer clothes. It can also give you a comfortable and secure life. Plus, if you marry someone rich, you won't have to worry about money problems and can live a luxurious life. So, marrying for money can make your life easier and more comfortable.But you know what? I think girls should marry for love AND money. Why not have the best of both worlds, right? Marrying someone you love will give you happiness and emotional support, while marrying someone wealthy will give you financial stability and a comfortable lifestyle. So, why not marry someone who loves you and has a good job too?In conclusion, girls should marry for both love and money. It's important to have a strong emotional connection with your partner, but it's also important to have financial stability. So, why not marry someone who gives you both? Love and money can go hand in hand, making your life full of happiness and success.So, go out there and find your perfect match who loves you and has a good job too!That's all for today, folks! Remember, love and money are both important in life, so make sure to find someone who gives you both. Bye-bye!篇9As a primary school student, I think both love and money are important when it comes to marriage. It's like choosing between ice cream and cake - they are both yummy in different ways!Love is like a warm hug from your mom or dad. It makes you feel happy and loved, and it's really special. When you marry someone you love, you can share your dreams, laugh together, and support each other no matter what. Love is important because it helps you build a strong relationship based on trust and understanding.But money is also important because it helps you buy things you need, like food, clothes, and a home. Money can make life easier and more comfortable. When you have enough money, you can go on fun trips, buy cool toys, and save for the future. It's like having a magic wand that can make your wishes come true!So, when it comes to marriage, I think it's good to find someone you love and who loves you back. But it's also important to think about money, so you can take care of each other and any kids you might have. Love and money go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. So, why not have both? Love is sweet, and money is handy - just like ice cream with a cherry on top!篇10Should women marry for love or money? This is a question that has been debated for a long time. Some people think that women should marry for love because love is the most important thing in a relationship. Others believe that women should marry for money because money is very important for a comfortable life. In my opinion, I think women should marry for love.Love is a very special feeling that brings happiness and joy to a person's life. When you love someone, you care about them deeply and you want to make them happy. Love is what makes a relationship strong and lasting. If a woman marries someone she doesn't love, she may not be happy in the long run. Love is what makes life worth living and it should be the most important factor in choosing a partner.On the other hand, some people think that women should marry for money because money can provide a comfortable life. It is true that money is important for things like housing, food, and other necessities. However, money cannot buy happiness. If a woman marries someone just for their money, she may feel lonely and unfulfilled in the relationship. Money is important, but it should not be the only reason someone gets married.In conclusion, I believe that women should marry for love. Love is what brings happiness and fulfillment to a person's life. Money is important, but it should not be the main reason for getting married. When you marry someone you love, you will be able to overcome any challenges that come your way. Love is what makes a relationship strong and lasting. So, in my opinion, love is the most important factor in deciding who to marry.。

婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文
婚姻不该被金钱玷污英语作文{z}Marriage Should Not Be Contaminated by MoneyMarriage is a sacred institution that has been valued and cherished throughout history.It is a union of two souls, built on love, trust, and mutual respect.However, in today"s materialistic world, money has become an increasingly important factor in the institution of marriage.This is a concerning trend that needs to be addressed.The first problem with money entering the equation of marriage is that it can lead to a lack of genuine connection between the partners.When two people get married solely for financial reasons, they may find that they have little in common and struggle to build a strong emotional bond.This can result in a loveless marriage, where both partners are merely going through the motions for the sake of their joint wealth.Secondly, money can create disharmony and conflict within a marriage.Arguments about financial management, spending habits, and the pursuit of material possessions can lead to tension and resentment between partners.This can eventually destroy the love and trust that once held the relationship together, leading to divorce or separation.Moreover, the pressure to maintain a certain standard of living can be overwhelming for couples who prioritize money in their marriage.They may find themselves working tirelessly to accumulate wealth, neglectingtheir personal well-being and the quality of their relationship in the process.This can lead to a life of unhappiness and unfulfillment.Furthermore, the pursuit of money in marriage can lead to inequality and power imbalances.A partner who controls the finances may dominate decision-making, leaving the other feeling voiceless and unimportant.This can create a sense of resentment and bitterness, destroying the equality and mutual respect that are essential for a healthy marriage.In conclusion, marriage should not be contaminated by money.It is a relationship that should be built on love, trust, and mutual respect, not on financial gain.While money is undoubtedly important in life, it should not be allowed to dominate the institution of marriage.Instead, couples should focus on cultivating a strong emotional connection, communicating openly about financial matters, and prioritizing their well-being and happiness above material possessions.By doing so, they can ensure that their marriage remains a sacred and fulfilling union.。

When we read, we fill in missing information and 36 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 37 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 38 when we are reading.

Is marrying a wealthy husband much better than finding a good job?
Nowadays, materials are well developed in this society, many people especially many girls are under the illusion that marrying a wealthy husband is much better than finding a good job. They think women will have a comfortable and more happier life when they marry a wealthy husband and that if women spend more time in jobs, they do not have time to care about their families. But I cannot agree with that. In my opinion, finding a good job is much better than marrying a wealthy husband.
First of all, I think everyone should show his or her value by making contribution to the society. In modern society, women are equal to men. Women should not only care for their own family, but also should work for the society, especially for the women with high knowledge. Finding a good job can make women show their value best.
Secondly, women have ability and should be independent with her husband in finance. In traditional society, the family is mainly supported by men and women have little status in the family. But in new society, women are also the important part in the family and they need to make money for the family. They should find a good job and support the family with their husband, which can improve their relationship and improve the status of women.
Finally, finding a good job can make women realize their dreams. Everyone has dream and should pursue their dreams. Of course, every woman has their dreams when they are young and finding a job can make their dreams come true.
Some people think marry a wealthy husband can lead a happy life. But we can see many wealthy husbands have many lovers. We can imagine the sorrow of their wives. Some people concern that if women spend more time in jobs, they do not have time to care about this. We can see many successful women such as Yang Lan, Chen Zhili who are both successful in jobs and families.
To conclude, women should use their knowledge and intelligence to have a happy life, rather than hoping to marry a wealthy husband.。
