Marriage in the United States
What is an American marriage like？As it is described in popular fiction，the American mar- riage is heaven on earth：problems are tiny and easy to solve；true love is always victorious；and the understanding husband and his beautiful wife live“happily ever after”as the fairy tales say．
Fortunately，most young people know better．They realize that marriage means responsibilities，conflicts（冲突），and everyday house-work．They marry“for better or for worsebecause in the United States it is extremely difficult for a single person to enjoy a full and satisfying life．
In the United States，parents do not arrange marriages for their children．Teenagers begin dating in high school and usually find mates through their own academic（学术的）and social contacts．Though young people feel free to choose their friends from different groups，most choose a mate of similar background．This is due in part to parents'guidance．Parents cannot select spouses（配偶）for their children，but they can usually influence choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable．For the most part，though，individuals are just naturally attracted to those of their own social circle．
However，marriage between members of different groups are increasing，probably because of the GREater mobility of today's youth and the fact that they are limited by fewer old ideas than their parents．Many young people leave their hometowns to attend college ，to serve in the armed forces，or to pursue a career in a bigger city．Once away from home and family，they are more likely to date and marry outside their own social group．
The average American man is about twenty-three years old at the time of marriage，his bride（新娘）is about twenty-one．Traditionally， when a couple decides to marry，the man gives his fiancée（未婚妻）a diamond engagement ring．When the engagement period begins，the bride-to-be and her future husband must meet other's relatives，make preparations for their wedding and honeymoon，and plan their future together．
1．Once they marry American young people know ____．
A．they can live a happy life
B．the marriage means heaven on earth
C．they will have to be responsible for the family and face conflicts between them
D．husband and wife will understand each other better
2．The passage doesn't tell us but it suggests that boys and girls in the United States ____．
A．are not cared for by their parents
B．can only be in love with each other in middle school
C．can only look for friends in society
D．are allowed to love each other in high school
3．The main reason why most young people choose their friends of similar background is that ____．
A．they have to obey parents'guidance
B．they can easily find their friends out of their own social circle
C．they are naturally influenced by their parents'ideas
D．they consider their future marriage suitable
4．What is thought to lead to marriage between members of different groups？
A．The mobility of today's youth in America．
B．pursuing a career in a bigger city．
C．Being far away from their hometowns．
D．Serving in the armed forces．
5．The first thing a boyfriend should do after engagement is ____．
A．telephone his parents about the good news
B．meet their relatives
C．buy his fiancée a diamond engagement ring
D．make preparations for their wedding

There are several reasons for sleep．One is that our bodies are like batteries—they need to be regularly recharged（再充电）．Another is that they need time to repair themselves，fight infections（感染）and build new cells．It's much easier to do this when the body is still and relaxed．Thirdly，we sleep because we need to dream．Experts still aren't sure exactly how dreams work，but what is certain is that（a） they're necessary for our mental health，（b）ev eryone has them．Everyone？Yes—every- one．Tests in special“sleep laboratories”have shown that even people who believe they never dream still experience“R．E．M．”sleep．“R．E．M．”stands for“Rapid Eye Movement”and that's exactly what happens while we dream．Even though our eyes are closed，they move rapidly from side to side．People woken in the middle of R．E．M．sleep（about twenty per cent of the total time we spend asleep）can usually remember their dreams．People woken in“quiet”or “non-R．E．M．”sleep usually can't．So，if you're someone who sleeps deeply and doesn't wake during R．E．M．periods，you probably won't re- member your dreams．What if you're the opposite of a deep sleeper，though？What if you suffer from insomnia，which means that you have difficulty sleeping？For most of us，insomnia is only a problem from time to time（e．g．before an important exam），but even so，it can be very an- noying．Here are five useful ways to avoid it．
a．Take plenty of exercise during the day．This will help your muscles to relax．
b．Don't eat a heavy meal or drink coffee after 8：00p．m．
c．Don't go to bed until you feel tired．
d．Read for a while before you put the light out．This will help to relax your mind．
e．Leave your bedroom window slightly open（but make sure you have enough bed clothes to keep you warm）．
6．How many reasons mentioned in the passage are there for sleep？
A．Two．B．Three．C．Four．D．Five．
7．Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．Experts have known how dreams work．
B．We dream because we need to sleep．
C．Dreams are necessary for our mental health．
D．It's easier to dream than to wake up．
8．According to experts，what are our eyes doing while we dream？
A．They are moving rapidly from side to side．
B．They are kept still．
C．They are looking at something all the time．
D．They are closed quiet．
9．How do you explain the new word“insomnia” in English？
