问题     Do half of all marriages really end in divorce? It’s probably the most often【B1】_____statistic about modern love. But in an upbeat new guide to marriage, For Better, Tara Parker-Pope, a New York Times reporter(and divorcee), devotes a chapter to【B2】_____the 50% statistic.
    Since the 1970s, when more women started going to college and delaying marriage, "marital【B3】_____ appears to be improving each decade," she writes. For example, about 23% of college graduates who married in the 1970s【B4】_____ within ten years. For those who wed in the 1990s, the rate dropped to 16%.
    According to research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, one of the clearest 【B5】_____of whether wedding vows will stick is the age of the people saying them. Take the 1980s for example, a full 81% of college graduates who【B6】_____that decade at age 26 or older were still married 20 years later. Only 65% of college graduates who said I do before their 26th birthday made it that far. But just 49% of those who married young and did so without a degree lasted 20 years, a cohort(一批人)that Parker-Pope spends little time discussing. Instead she【B7】_____that the 50% statistic is a myth that【B8】_____ because it’s something of a political Swiss Army knife, handy for any number of agendas. Social【B9】_____ use it to call for more marriage-friendly policies, while liberals find it handy to press for【B10】_____ programs that help single moms.
【B4】
