Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)
[A] Kids Change Everything, So Plan Time for Each Other
[B] Don’t Expect Your Spouse to Change, But Prepare for Them to Change
[C] Kids Should Be the Priority of Marriage
[D] Your Spouse Should Handle Their Family
[E] Spend on Small Things, Save on Big Things
[F] Drive Your Spouse up a Wall
[G] Share Values
This week, my wife and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. We were quite young when we married — I was 24, and she was 20 — and a lot has happened since then. I’ve changed jobs several times, she’s become a doctor, and we’ve had two children. Thank God, our marriage is better than ever. But you learn a few things over the course of 10 years, and now is as good an opportunity as any to offer up some of those lessons.
【R1】______
Too many people believe that marriage is built on the back of mutual need. In Stephen Sondheim’s Company, the final case made by the main character for marriage is the romantic idea of reaching out in existential angst to another human being. But that doesn’t set the groundwork to maintain a solid marriage, even during those times when your spouse is driving you up a wall. Instead, base your marriage on shared values; the things you think are important.
【R2】______
When you get married, you marry your spouse’s family, too. Whatever problems exist with her family, you’ll be inheriting them. But you don’t have to do so. Your spouse’s family troubles are their family troubles, and interfering in them won’t make your life any better. It’s your spouse’s job to protect your marriage from their family; the same holds true for you. When the Bible says you’re supposed to leave your father and mother and cleave to your spouse, it ain’t kidding.
【R3】______
When my wife and I were married, we didn’t know each other. That’s because nobody knows each other when they get married—people change over time. This presents two problems. First, because we know we’re going to change, we expect our spouses to change in ways we like. That’s not how this works. Whatever the flaws you spot in your potential spouse are, they’re generally going to get worse over time, not better—so make sure your potential spouse is self-critical and interested in self-betterment. Second, prepare for your spouse to change in ways you don’t necessarily like. That’s why betting on values trumps betting on chemistry. Building a life together creates a marriage; building on a solid foundation of values allows you to build a life.
【R4】______
Marriage is a merger of two lives; kids turn the object of those lives outward. This means more emotional volatility, less time with each other, and more pressure. It’s deeply important to carve out time with your spouse and to reassure them that they are the most important person in your life—even if your first priority has to be taking care of kids who can’t take care of themselves.
【R5】______
Money is a major issue in almost every marriage, but people tend to go wrong when they don’t prioritize correctly. You’re not going to go broke going to a movie. It’s something that will make you feel wealthy even if you’re not. You will go broke buying a car, a house, or a boat. Cook at home more, go out for ice cream more, and save your money on the big ticket items.
【R1】
选项
答案
G
解析
本段最后一句为作者建议句:Instead,base your marriage on shared values;the things you think are important.(反之,你的婚姻应该建立在相同的价值观上,建立在你认为重要的事情上。)选项[G]“分享价值观”与之对应,故为答案。
