第八篇The State of Marriage Today
*第三十八篇Excessive Demands on Young People
But what are the reasons for this,and is the picture really so gloomy?The answer to thefirst question is really quite simple:marriage is no longer the necessity it once was.Theinstitution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need.Women used to beeconomically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn’t havejobs outside the home.Butwith the risingnumber of women in well—paying jobs,this is no longer the case,so they don’tfeel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.

2011年理工类职称英语教材新增文章下载Batteries Built by VirusesWhat do chicken pox, the common cold,the flu,and AIDS have in common? They're all disease caused by viruses,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It’s no wonder1 that when most people think about viruses, finding ways to steer clear of2 viruses is what's on people's minds.Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers, though3.In Cambridge,Massachusetts4, scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work,teaching them to build some of the world’s smallest rechargeable batteries.Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair, but they're not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher, who first came up with5 the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge,she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know about biology,technology and production techniques.Belcher’s team includes Paula Hammond,who helps put together the tiny batteries,and Yet-Ming Chiang, an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery. "We're working on things we traditionally don’t associate with nature," says Hammond.Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A,C and D batteries6 in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny. However,every year,new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink,ordinary bakeries won’t be small enough to fit inside.The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now,Belcher’s model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viruses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small-so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.How small are these battery parts? To get some idea of the size,pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is-pretty thin,right? Although the width of each person’s hair is a bit different,you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts,side to side,across one hair. These microbatteries may change the way we look at viruses7.词汇:chicken pox水痘 collaborator n.合作者,协作者microorganism n.微生物 pluck v.拔,摘,采metallic adj.金属的注释:1.no wonder:不足为奇的,难怪2.steer clear of:避开,绕开3.though:意思为“然而,可是”。

Some People Do Not Taste Salt Like Others一、Low-salt foods may be harder for some people to like than others,according to a study by a Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences1 food scientist. The research indicates that genetic factors influence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat.二、Those conclusions are important because recent,well-publicized efforts to reduce the salt content in food2 have left many people struggling to accept fare that simply does not taste as good to them as it does to others3,pointed out John Hayes,assistant professor of food science,who was lead investigator4 on the study.三、Diets high in salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. That is why public health experts and food companies are working together on ways to help consumers lower salt intake through foods that are enjoyable to eat. This study increases understanding of salt preference and consumption.四、The research involved 87 carefully screened participants who sampled salty foods such as soup and chips,on multiple occasions,spread out over weeks5.Test subjects were 45 men and 42 women,reportedly healthy,ranging in age from 20 to 40 years. The sample was composed of individuals who were not actively modifying their dietary intake and did not smoke cigarettes. They rated the intensity of taste on a commonly used scientific scale,ranging from barely detectable to strongest sensation of any kind.五、“Most of US like the taste of salt. However,some individuals eat more salt,both because they like the taste of saltiness more,and also because it is needed to block other unpleasant tastes in food. "said Hayes." Supertasters,people who experience tastes more intensely,consume more salt than nontasters do. Snack foods have saltiness as their primary flavor,and at least for these foods,more is better,so the supertasters seem tolike them more.”六、However,supertasters also need higher levels of salt to block unpleasant bitter tastes in foods such as cheese,Hayes noted. "For example,cheese is a wonderful blend of dairy flavors from fermented milk,but also bitter tastes from ripening that are blocked by salt," he said. "A supertaster finds low-salt cheese unpleasant because the bitterness is too pronouncedo6."七、Hayes cited research done more than 75 years ago by a chemist named Fox and a geneticist named Blakeslee,showing that individuals differ in their ability to taste certain chemicals. As a result,Hayes explained,we know that a wide range in taste acuity exists,and this variation is as normal as variations in eye and hair color.八、“Some people,called supertasters,describe bitter compounds as being extremely bitter,while others. called nontasters,find these same bitter compounds to be tasteless or only weakly bitter,"he said." Response to bitter compounds is one of many ways to identify biological difterences in food preference because supertasting7 is not limited to bitterness. (476)1.In paragraph 2,John Hayes points out that C.many people accept low-salt tasteless food reluctantly2.The fourth paragraph describes briefly A.how to select subjects and what to do in the research.3.The article argues that supertasters B.1ike snack foods as saltiness is their primary flavor.4.Which of the following applies to supertasters in terms of bitter taste?C.They prefer high-salt cheese,which tastes less bitter. 5.What message do the last two paragraphs carry? A.Taste acuity is genetically determined.第四十六篇Marvelous MetamaterialsInvisibility cloaks1 would have remained impossible,forever locked in science fiction,had it not been for the development of metamaterials2.In Greek,“meta”means beyond,and metamaterials can do things beyond what we see in the natural world-like shuffle light waves around an object,and then bring them back together3.If scientists ever manage to build a full-fledged invisibility cloak,it will probably be made of metamaterials.“We are creating materials that don’t exist in nature,and that have a physical phenomenon that doesn't exist in nature,”says engineer Dentcho Genov.“Th at is the most exciting thing.” Genov designs and builds metamaterials-such as those used in cloaking-at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston,Louisiana4.An invisibility cloak will probably not be the first major accomplishment to come from the field of metamaterials. Other applications are just as exciting. In many labs,for example,scientists are working on building a hyperlens. A lens is a device-usually made of glass-that can change the direction of light waves. Lenses are used in microscopes and cameras to focus light,thus allowing a researcher to see small things or a photographer to capture image of things that are far away.A hyperlens,however,would be made of metamaterials. And since metamaterials can do things with light that ordinary materials can't,the hyperlens would be apowerful tool. A hyperlens would allow researchers to see things at the smallest scale imaginable-as small as the wavelength of visible light.Genov points out that the science of metamaterials is driven by the imagination:If someone can mink of an idea for a new behavior for light,then the engineers can find a way to design a device using metamaterials. “We need people who can imagine,”he says.Since 2006,many laboratories have been exploring other kinds of metamaterials that don't involve just visible light. In fact,scientists are finding that almost any kind of wave may respond to metamaterials.At the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain5,Jose Sanchez-Dehesa is working with acoustics, or the science of sound. Just as an invisibility cloak shuffles waves of light,an “acoustic”cloak would shuffle waves of sound in a way that’s not found in nature. In an orchestra hall,for example. an acoustic cloak could redirect the sound waves-so someone sitting behind a column would hear the same concert as the rest of the audience,without distortion.Sanchez-Dehesa,an engineer,recently showed that it's possible to build such an acoustic cloak, though he doubts we’ll see one any time soon.“In principle,it is possible,”he says,but it might be impossible to make one,he adds.Other scientists are looking into ways to use larger metamaterials as shields around islands or oil rigs6 as protection from tsunamis. A tsunami is a giant,destructive wave. The metamaterial would redirect the tsunami around the rig or island,and the wave would resume its journey on the other side without causing any harm.练习:1.What is true for metamaterials?C.They are nonexistent in nature.2.A hyperlens is a more powerful tool than a traditional lensD.as it can help scientists to see even the wavelengths of visible light.3.Scientists at the Polytechnic University of Valencia try to inventC.an acoustic cloak that can shuffle waves of sound.4.According to Sanchez-Dehesa,B.it is possible to build an acoustic cloak in theory but far from reality.5.What ways are some scientists looking into to protect the island and oil rig from tsunamis?(Read the last paragraph.)A.Surround them with metamaterials as protective shields.Young Adults Who Exercise Get Higher IQ ScoresYoung adults who are fit have a higher IQ 1 and are more (1 C likely) to go on to university,reveals a major new study2 carried out at the Sahlgrenska Academy3 and Sahlgrenska University Hospital.The results were recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)4.The study involved 1.2 million Swedish men doing military service who were born between 1950 and 1976.The research group analysed the (2 D results)of both physical and IQ tests the youngsters took right after they started serving the army.The study shows a clear link (3 B between) good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test.The strongest links are for (4 A logical) thinking and verbal comprehension.But it is only fitness that plays a (5 C role) in the results for the IQ test5,and not strength.“Being fit means that you also have good heart and lung (6 A capacity) and that your brain gets plenty of (7 C oxygen),"says Michael Nilsson,professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy and chief physician at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital.“This may be one of the reasons (8 B why )we can see a clear link with fitness,but not with muscular (9 C strength).We are also seeing that there are growth factors that are important.”By analysing data for twins,the researchers have been (10 A able )to determine that it is primarily environmental factors and not genes that explain the link between fitness and a (11 D higher)IQ.“We have also shown that those youngsters who (12 B improve) their physical fitness between the ages of 15 and 18 increase their cognitive performance,”says Mafia Aberg,researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy and physician at Aby health centre.“This being the case6 ,physical (13 D education) is a subject that has an important place in schools,and is an absolute must7 if we want to do well in maths and other theoretical subjects."The researchers have also compared the results from fitness tests (14 D during )national service8 with the socio-economic status of the men later in (15 B life).Those who were fit at 18 were more likely to go into higher education,and many secured more qualified jobs.。

The ministry is now soliciting public and professional opinions on the draft guideline. The coming guideline aims to regulate and standardize sex reassignment surgery, part of a treatment for gender identity disorder in transsexuals. Experts 2 nearly 2,000 Chinese have undergone sex-change surgery while 100,000 to 400, 000 are still considering it. However, no official number is available. In the draft, the MOH sets 3 Criteria for both surgical candidates and medical institutions. Candidates for the surgery must be older than 20 and single, the draft guideline said. They are also required to prove a persistent desire for a sex change, to live for at least five consecutive years full-time in the new gender role, and to engage 4 mental therapy for at least one year. Before surgery can take place, a candidate must receive a recommendation for the operation from a __5__ after an appropriate series of therapy sessions. Also, several legal requirements 6 be met before the procedure. The candidate must provide proof from police that he or she has does not have any criminal offenses in the past.

The operation is more than a medical procedure due 12 its huge social and legal consequences. Doctors should make it clear to those __13__ sex-change surgeries that the option always remains to continue to live in the original role. The guideline requires surgeons to tell patients about other options 14 hormone therapy, They are also required to explain the risks involved , and underlying social barriers including discrimination , and administrative recognition and approval.

2011年职称英语完型填空新增文章译文---综合类上世纪人类平均寿命的变化综A一百年以前,发达国家的人均寿命大约是47岁;到21世纪初,美英两国的男性平均寿命约为74岁,女性则约为80岁,人们的平均寿命一直在延长。
是什么造成了这样的变化呢?在研究一百年前的人们寿命的时候,我们有必要注意当时一些不治之症。
早在20世纪初,这些不治之症经常是像天花之类的急性的高传染病。
许多儿童因此夭折(也有其他原因),年迈题弱的人也总是面临着它们的威胁。
如今,这些疾病在发达国家已远不能致命,有一些都能被治愈。
这一变化归于许多因素,比如:环境及个人卫生的改善,抗生素的发现及使用,(抗生素大大降低了细菌病的危险)以及常见疾病预防疫苗的接种。
除此之外,更洁净的空气、更好的食物保鲜方法、更舒适温暖的屋子还有对营养的进一步认识,这些总的环境的改善也促进了人们的整体健康。
从基因角度看,人都都能活到85岁,但尽管现在人们寿命确实比以前长了,仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。
现在困扰人们的是像心脏病和中风那种更为慢性的疾病,还有像流行性感冒和AIDS那些通过病毒传染的疾病。
当然,癌症也是一大杀手。
上述疾病大多影响着老年人,但是令人担忧的问题在发达国家日趋明显,如:肥胖,产生更多心脏病和糖尿病等其他疾病患者群渐呈年轻化。
人们如今把这些疾病归为“生活方式疾病”,这意味着人们生活方式的改善有可能阻止它们的进一步发展。
竞技还是表演?综BMuhammad Ali 极有可能是世界上最负盛名的体坛人物:全世界不分老少都熟知拳王Ali。
退役后,Ali被诊断患有帕金森综合症,这激起了社会上对拳击运动危险性的争论和诟病。
另外,由于Ali曾坦白反对女性拳击运动,所以当他的一个女儿— Laila决定跨入拳坛时,人们十分好奇Ali对此会作何回应。
然而,在Laila首场职业争霸赛上,Ali的露面似乎高调宣布了他对女儿的支持。
父亲当然会想看自己女儿的比赛。

吸烟会加重青少年的抑郁情绪理B有些青少年可能会一口接一口地吸烟来消除抑郁,进行所谓的“自我治疗”。
然而加拿大Toronto和Montreal大学的科学家却发现,事实上,吸烟会加重某些青少年的抑郁情绪。
“这项研究是检验吸烟是否可以给青少年带来精神欢愉的几项研究之一,”首席研究员Michael Chaiton如是说,他是Toronto大学Ontario烟草研究组织的助理研究员,“尽管吸烟能在短时间能起到自我治疗的作用,能振奋精神,但根据青少年自我报告的情况,我们发现,从长远看,吸烟的青少年往往有更多的抑郁症状。
”这项研究的内容之一是,约662名高中生完成一份包括20道问题的问卷,问卷的问题是关于吸烟对情绪的影响。
入选的中学学生既有讲法语的,也有讲英语的,他们就读的学校有城市的,也有乡村的,并分布在高档、中档和低档不同社区。
参与调查者分成三组:一组从不吸烟,一组吸烟但不是为了自我治疗,调节情绪或者改善身体状态,另一组是利用吸烟自我治疗的吸烟者。
参与者被问及下列问题:多久会感到倦怠不堪,不想做任何事;多久会出现难以入睡甚至不能入睡的情况;每隔多久会不开心、难过或沮丧;多久会出现对未来绝望的心态;每隔多久会感到烦恼紧张,对所有事情都过分焦虑。
收集到的答案用来衡量抑郁症状的轻重。
“通过吸烟缓解抑郁的吸烟者比不吸烟的青少年更容易加重抑郁症状,”Montreal大学社会和预防医学系教授,研究合作者Jennifer O’Loughlin总结说,“我们研究发现,问卷反馈回来的那些利用吸烟获得精神慰籍的青少年更容易加重抑郁。
”抑郁和吸烟之间的联系主要体现在那些利用吸烟愉悦心情的青少年身上。
“值得重视的是,那些在问卷中反映吸烟能带来精神安慰的青少年,他们在问卷中所得的抑郁评分也较高,”Chaiton博士说。

2011年职称英语阅读理解新增文章译文---理工类世界原油产量可能提前十年达到峰值理C科威特科学家预测世界常规原油产量将在2014年达到峰值,这一发现可能会促进储存石油的努力。
这一预测比其他预测提前了将近十年,已经发表在美国化学学会《能量与燃料》杂志上。
伊布赫姆·纳夏威和同事们指出,全球石油消耗的快速增长使人们对“石油峰值”预测的兴趣越来越浓。
“石油峰值”指的是石油产量达到最大值后开始下降的时间点。
科学家已经构建了几个模型来预测这一时间,有些模型认为这一时间在2020年或更晚。
其中最著名的预测模型之一是赫伯特模型。
赫伯特模型认为世界石油产量呈钟形曲线,与此相关的概念是“石油峰值”。
这一术语指的是世界石油产量达到峰值的那一刻,之后将呈现无法逆转的下降趋势。
赫伯特模型精确地预测到美国石油产量于1970年达到峰值。
这一模型从此受到欢迎,已经用于预测世界石油生产。
但是,最近研究表明,这一模型不足以解释某些国家更加复杂的石油生产周期。
科学家称,这些生产周期受到技术变化、政策和其他因素的很大影响。
最近研究描述了赫伯特模型的新版本,提供了更加实际、更加准确的石油生产预测。
科学家使用新模型评估了47个主要产油国家的石油生产趋势,这47个国家是世界常规原油的主要提供者。
科学家预计全球常规原油产量将于2014年达到峰值,比之前预计的要早很多年。
科学家还指出,世界石油储量正在以2.1%的速度逐年减少,他们认为新模型会帮助做出与能源相关的决定,帮助进行国家政策辩论。

2011年职称英语阅读理解新增文章译文---综合类(2011-01-11 13:59:15)转载标签:职称英语考试杂谈当代婚姻综C如今的婚姻出什么严重问题了吗?在过去50年中,美国的离婚率暴涨:现在几乎50%的婚姻以离婚告终,证据显示,情况还将持续恶化。
据美国国家联合会的发言人称,如果这种趋势持续下去,将导致家庭的破裂。
一些未来学家预测,100年后的美国人将平均至少结四次婚,而婚外恋甚至将比现在更为普遍。
那问题的原因是什么?现状真的如此糟糕吗?第一个问题的答案十分简单:婚姻早已不像它过去那样非有不可了。
从好些年前开始,经济需求已经只是婚姻的部分基础。
过去,由于女性除了家庭以外没有任何工作,她们常常在经济上依赖丈夫。
现在,随着高薪女性的增多,情况也已经改变。
因此,她们觉得没有必要被一段失败的婚姻捆住手脚。
回答第二个问题,前景似乎不像它看起来那么令人悲观。
尽管离婚率升高,但世纪结婚率并没有下降,所以说结婚还是挺流行的。
除此之外,现在许多恋人同居但并不急着领证。
这些人事实上已经结婚,但他们却是统计结婚与离婚率的盲区。
超过50%的第一次婚姻实际上是成功的。
之前数据的欺骗性在于二度与三度婚姻的离婚率要高于首次婚姻。
婚姻真的过时了吗?大多数人仍会结婚,这一事实证明不是这样的。
而且事实上婚后夫妻比单身过着更健康的生活:他们压力较小,因压力产生的诸如心脏问题也相应减少。
而且,婚后男性总体上较之配偶更为满意。
也许,关键在于找出成功婚姻背后的秘诀并把它运用到我们所有人与人的关系中去。
对年轻人的过高期望综B许多人对能同时兼顾几样工作的本领赞誉有加。
然而最近研究却发现,八岁到十八岁,被称为“多媒体时代”的年轻人在同时进行多种任务的过程中常常事倍功半、了无成果。
研究认为,正像依次完成各个任务一样,这些年轻人仍旧浪费了一半时间。
有些年轻人在学习时还同时使用着很多电子产品。
在学习的同时,他们还在上网、给朋友发邮件、打电话、听MP3或者另一台电脑上的歌。

They said patients are younger,especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.“An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,”said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years. Among them,1,483 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about l irritated eyes and throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women’s bedrooms were adj acent to2 the kitchen.However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.“Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook," said Xu Li. a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer .I have already started frying less.’’Doctors said women’s lung cancer had few links to personal health and p hysical condition,but was closely related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with He.3"Smoking is by far the biggest cause4 of lung cancer for men," said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College. "It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women.”He's research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling5 fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.词汇:fume n.烟,气,汽fry v.油炸,油煎tumor(=tumour)n.肿瘤unventilated vt.使不通风cancern.癌瘤adjacent adj.临近的breast/brest/n.乳房,胸dietary adj饮食的incidence n.发生(率) immune adj 免疫的diagnosis n.诊断honorary adj.名誉上的;荣誉的inhale v.吸人respiratory adj.呼吸的irritate vt.使疼痛,刺激stall n.货摊注释:plain原意是“抱怨,诉苦”,但医学上常用complain about或complain of表示“主诉"。

During the past 50 years,the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded:almost 50%of marriages end in divorce now,and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues,it will lead to the breakup of the family,according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years,the average American will marry at least four times,and extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this,and is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple:marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as t hey usually didn’t have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs,this is no longer the case, so they don’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question,the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen,the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much,so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this,many couples now cohabit and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married,but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact,more than 50%of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people:they suffer less from stress and its consequences,such as heart problems,and married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!词汇:divorce n.离婚 cohabit v.同居evidence n.证据,迹象 effectively ad.实际上futurist n.未来主义者 statistics n.统计,统计资料explode v.激增,迅速扩大deceptive adj.迷惑的,骗人的predict v.预言,预料,预报 outdated adj.旧式的,过时的extramarital adj.婚外的 indicate v.表明,暗示gloomy adj.阴暗的;令人沮丧的 consequence n.结果,后果institution n.制度,习俗 contented adj.满足的,满意的outlook n.展望,前景 counterpart n.对应的人(或物)pessimistic adj.悲观的注释:National Family Association:美国国家家庭联合会练习:1.Which is true about the problem of marriage in the United States today?A)Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.B)Half of the married couples get divorced.C)American people marry more than four times.D)More and more people are getting divorced.2.What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph two mean?A ) It is not necessary to get married any more.B) Women do not need a husband any longer.C) Women are not economically dependant any more.D) Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.3.Why may the outlook of marriage not be as gloomy as it appears?A) Many people still like to get married.B)The rate of divorce has actually decreased.C)Over 50%of the marriages continue to exist.D)The statistics of divorce is not quite true.4.How do people usually feel in their marriage life?A)They are much healthier.B)They feel no longer single.C)They are more satisfied.D)They suffer a lot less.5.Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?A)There will be more relationships outside marriage.B)Many people try to get married again after divorce.C)Marriage has long been partly an economical need.D)It is a fact that most people choose to get married.答案与题解:1. D 从第一段里可以了解到选项A与C都是预计将来会发生的,而不是如今的情况。
B选项与第一段第二句“almost 50%of the marriages end in divorce”不符。
第一段第二句里的“the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded”“the evidence suggests it is going to get worse”话语正好说明了D选项的情况。
2. C 第二段第四句、第五句说得很清楚,妇女们如今在外工作在经济上不再依赖她们的丈夫,因此觉得无需维持行将失败的婚姻。
3. A 从第二段里可以了解到离婚率并没有下降而是上升了,因此B选项不对。
而C选项与第三段里“In fact,more than 50%of first marri ages survive”所说不符,该选项没有提到是第一次婚姻。
