Since the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence,
"go steady"
through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much
shaking of graying heads
over the ways of rebellious youth. However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.
Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one’s problems; more often, it merely worsens them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say that they are abandoning one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow.
Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize; all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.
The phrase "go steady" (Para. 1) can be replaced by________.
选项
A、break up very often
B、keep changing partners
C、maintain the relationship
D、believe in early marriages
答案
C
解析
词语理解题。由第一段第二句可知,很多年轻人在青春期的早期就开始约会,在中学阶段“稳步地前进”,然后正规的教育还没有结束就结婚了。可推知“稳步地前进”是指他们之间保持着稳定的恋爱关系。因此选C。
