问题     To begin with, we are witnessing a (31) explosion of "solos"—people who live (32), outside a family altogether. Between 1970 and 1978, the number of persons aged fourteen (33) thirty-four who lived alone nearly tripled in the United State—(34) from 1.5 million to 4.3 million. Today, (35) fifth of all households in the United States consists (36) a living solo. (37) are all these people losers or loners, forced into the solo life. Many deliberately choose it, at least for a time. Says a legislative aide to a Seattle councilwoman, "I (38) consider marriage if the right person came (39), but I would not give up my career (40) it".

The growth of such groups (42) created a flourishing "singles" culture and a much publicized proliferation of bars, travel tours, and (43) services or products de- signed for the independent individual. Simultaneously, the real estate industry has come (44) with "singles only" condominia, and has begun to respond to a (45) for smaller apartments and suburban homes with fewer bedrooms.

The practice has become so common that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has overthrown tradition and (49) its rules to permit such couples to occupy public housing. The courts are wrestling (50) the legal and property complications that spring up when such couples "divorce".
