Part II- A A2 1. similar social backgrounds. 2. the same race or same ethnic background. 3. the same religion. A3 Japan / 9.2% / arranged marriages 3% / between blacks and whites Many people in
5、Western cultures choose their own wives and husbands. In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe,
6、the mans family negotiated a bride price with the womans family; the mans family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the brides family paid a grooms price to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese 1 marriages are now arranged. What are the cr
7、iteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love-are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among ma
8、ny people in Egypt, key members of the mans family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the mans family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.
9、Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage. In many
10、countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences. Part II - B 1. physical appearance; 2. w
11、hat somebody looks like, ., look beyond the physical appearance 3. the high percentage of divorces. 4. falling love with somebody,. ,loving somebody Script: What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together? I think that perhaps unfortunately in the in
12、itial stages its the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless theres something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to
13、 make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless thats there I think you just dont bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important. Why do you say unfortunately? Because in fact it shouldnt be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to l
14、ook beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later. In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling
15、love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you 2 think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesnt exist? Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce-its a third I
16、 think now, isnt it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, e
17、tc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and thats it., its the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think thats the problem, because people just expect that, and its not like that. So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keep
18、s a relationship going? Well, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically,
19、having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I th
20、ink all that needs time to grow, and Id call that love, and I think thats what makes a relationship last. Part II - C one of the biggest decisions they will make in life, as the just-right wife for him, definition of what the just-rightwife is, the millionaire man and the poor man , her physical qua
21、lities, different words, by her physical qualities, in two different atmospheres, also have their definition of the just-right wife, the German mans definition is different from the Spanish mans.

And there was this guy and he wasnt really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great.
24、And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and.weve got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and its really nice. Ke: Well, Id arranged to
25、have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friend of mine whos a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said Id like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said, Please dont! But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the w
26、ine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each others pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could orde

A friend of mines twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Alice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married
28、was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together. Jill: Id arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing o

Part IV Book, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admire 4 Script: John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the
32、 crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the
33、words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote
34、 her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really ca

You will recognize me,she wrote, by the red rose Ill be wearing on my lapel. So at 7:00 he was in the station loo
36、king for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face hed never seen. Ill let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened. A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firm
37、ness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. Going my way, sailor? she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her
38、, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away. I felt as thought I
39、 was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love. . 5
