In her novel of "Reunion, American Style", Rona Jaffe suggests that a class reunion "is more than a sentimental journey. It is also a way of answering the question that lies at the back of nearly all our minds. Did they do better than I?"
Jaffe’ s observation may be misplaced but not completely lost. 【F1】
According to a study conducted by social psychologist Jack Sparacino, the overwhelming majority who attend reunions aren ’t there invidiously to compare their recent accomplishments with those of their former classmates. Instead, they hope, primarily, to relive their earlier successes.
Certainly, a few return to show their former classmates how well they have done; others enjoy observing the changes that have occurred in their classmates (not always in themselves, of course). 【F2】
But the majorities who attend their class reunions do so to relive the good times they remember having when they were younger.
【F3】
In his study, attendees had been more popular, more often re garded as attractive, and more involved in extracurricular activities than those classmates who chose not to attend.
For those who turned up at their reunions, then, the old times were also the good times!
It would appear that Americans have a special fondness for reunions, judging by their prevalence. Major league baseball players, fraternity members, veterans groups, high school and college graduates, and former Boy Scouts all hold reunions on a regular basis. In addition, family reunions frequently attract blood relatives from faraway places who spend considerable money and time to reunite.
【F4】
Actually, in their affection for reuniting with friends, family or colleagues, Americans are probably no different from any other people, except that Americans have created an amazing number and variety of institutionalized forms of gatherings to facilitate the satisfaction of this desire.
Indeed, reunions have increasingly become formal events that are organized on a regular basis and, in the process, they have also become big business.
Shell Norris of Class Reunion, Inc., says that Chicago alone has 1,500 high school reunions each year. A conservative estimate on the national level would be 10,000 annually. At one time, all high school reunions were organized by volunteers, usually female homemakers. 【F5】
In the last few years, however, as more and more women have entered the labour force, alumni reunions are increasingly being planned by specialized companies rather than by part-time volunteers.
The first college reunion was held by the alumni of Yale University in 1792. Graduates of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Stanford, and Brown followed suit. And by the end of the 19th century, most 4-year institutions were holding alumni reunions.
【F5】
选项
答案
然而在过去的几年里,随着越来越多的妇女进入劳动市场,校友聚会越来越多地由专业公司而不是兼职的志愿者来计划。
解析
本句是一个复合句。该句主干是alumni reunions are increasingly being planned by specialized companies rather than by part-time volunteers,其中连词rather than并列by special ized companies和by part-time volunteers,alumni译为“校友,毕业生”。as more and more women have entered the labour force是as引导的时间状语从句,修饰整个主干。
