Once a social taboo, love across the color line is becoming increasingly common. The number of interracial marriages in the U.S. has leaped almost 1,000% since 1967, when a landmark Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, voided state antimiscegenation laws that forbid unions between the races. Today there are more than 2 million interracial marriages, accounting for about 5% of all U.S. marriages, and almost half a million of them are between blacks and whites.
Yet even after the Loving decision, which required the state of Virginia to recognize the marriage between a white man and a black woman, Richard and Mildred Loving, the resistance to mixed nuptials in the South seemed to stay as firm as the reverence some there still have for the Confederate flag. It was only three years ago that Alabama became the last state to drop its unenforceable ban on mixed marriage, and it did so with just a 60%-to-40% vote by residents.
Of course, interracial intimacy has been a fact of life in the region since African slaves first arrived in the U.S.—and white slave owners like Thomas Jefferson began sneaking into the slave quarters at night. But what used to be branded clandestine lust has finally evolved into sanctioned love: black-white interracial marriages in Alabama have more than tripled, from 297 in 1990 to 1,000 in 2000, or about 2.5% of the married couples in the state. An additional 1% of Alabama marriages are unions also involving Asians, Latinos and Native Americans.
选项
A、As an example of interracial intimacy.
B、Because he was a slave owner and was strongly against interracial marriages.

D、Because he married a black woman.
答案

解析
根据原文第三段第一句,可知该句隐含的事实就是Thomas Jefferson被当作一个例子来说明“interracial intimacy”。因此,选项a的说法是正确的。

平常谈起幽默家,讲得最多的是:“幽默家其实是很伤感的人,是心已破碎的丑角。”这种说法有些道理。生活中的悲哀和忧郁,人皆有之。幽默家对此可能比平常人更敏感,于是就积极主动地去补偿。幽默可以使人不失面子,不伤感情地重建信心;可以用来表示道歉、拒绝、进行批评和让
