问题       The horse and carriage is a thing of the past, but love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages  【21】______   young couples, are the result of  【22】______   attraction and affection  【23】______   than practical considerations.
     In the United States parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin  【24】______   in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social  【25】______   . Though
young people feel  【26】______   to choose their friends from  【27】______   groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is  【28】______   in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually  【29】______   choices by  【30】______   disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
     【31】______   marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater  【32】______   of today’s youth and the face that they are restricted by  【33】______   prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend college,  【34】______   in the armed forces,  【35】______   pursue a career in a bigger city. Once a- way from home and family, they are more  【36】______   to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither  【37】______   nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are  【38】______   be the rise particularly between Protestants and Catholics. On the other hand, interracial marriage is still very uncommon. It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, andc  【39】______   a family. Marriages between people of different national  【40】______   (but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
