M: Karen, I heard that you signed a 15-page premarital agreement with your husband Steve, right?
W: Yes.
M: What is it about?
W: Well, it states the rules we both must follow in our married life.
M: I’d like to ask you why you decided to write this agreement. You’ve both been married before, am I right?
W: Yes, I’ve been married twice, and Steve was married once before. So we have some experience about what goes wrong in a marriage.
M: And that’s why you wrote this agreement?
W: Yes. We found that many problems happen when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together. Also, we both know how important it is to respect each other’s quirks. We’re all bothered by things that seem small to someone else. Like, it used to really bother me when my ex-husband left his dirty clothes on the floor, so we put that in the agreement: "Dirty clothing must be put in the laundry bag." Now Steve knows what my expectations are.
M: I’m sure that some people hearing this report will think that this contract isn’t very romantic.
W: Well, we disagree. We think it’s very romantic. A lot of problems occur in a marriage because people don’t talk about what they want. When we disagree about something, we work out a solution that’s good for both of us. I’d much rather do that than get some "romantic" gift like flowers or candy.
M: Some of these rules sound like, well, a business agreement. Many of your rules concern money in some way... even the rules about having children.
W: In our experience, disagreements about money can cause a lot of problems, so we talked about how we want to spend our money and put that in the agreement as well.
M: So, do you spend a lot of time checking on each other to see if the rules are being followed?
W: No, not at all. And we don’t argue about them, either. As matter of a fact, I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects. We can spend our time doing things we enjoy and just being with each other.
M: What happens if one of you breaks a rule?
W: We don’t think that will be a problem. Because we’ve agreed on these rules.
M: But what if, say, you don’t want to cook dinner one night? What happens?
W: Well, we’ll talk about it and reach a compromise. Maybe there’s a good reason.
6. What are the speakers mainly talking about?
7. How many times has Steve been married?
8. According to the woman, why do so many problems happen in the marriage?
9. What does the woman think of this contract?
10. What happens if one of the couple sometimes breaks the contract?
选项
A、One of both sides has no experience about what goes wrong in a marriage.
B、Both man and wife want to talk about everything openly and honestly.
C、Either the man or his wife thinks their marriage is not very romantic.
D、A person has different expectations from his or her spouse.
答案
D
解析
女士提到,他们发现当一个人对另一半有不同的期望时,很多问题就出现了。D项A person has different expectations from his or her spouse与原文一致,是婚姻出现很多问题的原因。女士和她丈夫都不是第一次结婚,因此A“双方对于婚姻中的错误都没有经验”不对。B“男人和妻子都想开诚布公地谈论所有事情”是解决问题的方式,不是出现问题的原因。C“男人或妻子认为他们的婚姻不是很浪漫”与对话不符。
