It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year – we just won’t go.
Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession – financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterised by intense verbal (言语上的) aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.
Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for,” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.
“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”
What does Kim Stephenson believe?
选项
A、Men and women view money in different ways.
B、Money is often a symbol of a person’s status.
C、Men and women spend money on different things.
D、Money means a great deal to both men and women.
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Kim Stephenson believe将本题出处定位于第3段首句。第3段首句提到,Kim Stephenson认为,因为钱对男人和女人象征着不同的东西,所以钱才成了大问题。文中的which代指的就是前面提到的what it symbolizes,其中的it指money,A)是对which may be difierent things to men and women的同义转述,故为答案。B)是张冠李戴,将该段末句men认为的观点换成Kim Stephenson认同的观点。C)是针对havedifferent ideas of what it’s for设的干扰项。D)是对原文money is such a big deal的曲解。
