听力原文: Not many couples stay married for 50 years. Even fewer do so for 75 years. It's almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85 years. But that's exactly what Henry and Maggie Thurston did.

Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857. At the age of 18 he went to Chicago to attend the university. There he met Maggie who had come from Cleveland to study art. She was one year younger.

This was a true case of love at first sight. They got married in 1876, less than six months after they met. In 1877 their first son, Jack, was born. By 1885 they had five children, including their third son, Lou, who became a well-known writer. From 1900 to 1915 Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty one times.

On February 14th, 1961, they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary. The day they had chosen for their wedding day had become Valentine's Day. Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event. The couple was seen on national TV. Most amazing of all, though, was the fact that over 1,500 relatives were also present. The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl. Henry and Maggie were old. He was 104 and she was 103.

听力原文: The institution of marriage is universal although the customs may vary from country to country. In the United States boys and girls date freely starting in their teens. They can meet their future mates in many different ways. Sometimes they are introduced by a mutual friend; mid sometimes they meet each other in school, at a party, or at work. Today, they are sometimes matched by a computer which acts as a mechanical matchmaker, The average age of marriage for women in the United States is 20 - 21 and for men 22 - 23. When they are ready to get married, the bride's family is supposed to pay for all the cost of wedding, the reception, and the bride's trousseau. All the groom is supposed to pay for is the marriage license, the wedding ring, and the bride's bouquet.

A couple must get a civil license to marry, and then they can be married either in a civil or a religious ceremony. After the marriage ceremony, there is often a reception and then the couple leaves on their honeymoon. When they return, the newly married husband and wife move into their own home.

听力原文: When couples get married, they usually plan to have children. Sometimes, however, a couple can not have a child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt a child. In fact, adoption is very common today. There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants, others to adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own countries, others adopt children from foreign countries. In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason -- they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life.

Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually .sealed. The information is secret so no one can see it.

Naturally, adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them, but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adoptive parents want them, love them and will care for them.

(33)

A.They care a lot about children.

B.They need looking after in their old age.

C.They want to enrich their life experience.

D.They want children to keep them company.

听力原文: Americans love pets. Many pet owners treat their furry friends as part of the family. If they have an eye for fashion, pet owners can dress their pets in stylish clothes. For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell well. You might say Americans treat their pets like they treat their children—sometimes even better. In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At least 43 percent of U. S. homes have pets of some sort. Exotic creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the all time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House. The Bushes’ dog, Spot, has replaced the Clintons’ cat, Socks. Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell delicious pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like pizza. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and pets. Furry guests in hotels can enjoy delicious meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds. The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reasons. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help the home get rid of pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares 32 a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

(33)

A.Presidents like to keep pets.

B.Pets can offer protection for owners.

C.Pets can encourage social relationships.

D.Pets are good companies to many old people.

听力原文: Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good child memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both work and our three children are busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we try setting three fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son has the idea that every one told me his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while, the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see these evenings together as interesting, and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other's problems. After a couple of months, anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel that we have been able to build much stronger relations within the family than we had before
