| Married people live "happily ever
after" in fairy tales, but they do so less and less often in real life. I, like
many of my friends, got married, divorced, and remarried. I suppose, to some
people, I’m a failure. After all, I broke my first solemn promise to "love and
cherish until death us do part." But I feel that I’m finally a success. I
learned from the mistakes I made in my first marriage. This time around, the
ways my husband and I share our free time, make decision, and deal with problems
are very different. I learned, first of all, not to be a clinging vine (依赖男子的妇女). In my first marriage, I felt the every moment we spent apart was wasted. If Ray wanted to go out to a bar with his friends to watch a football game, I felt rejected and talked him into staying home. I wouldn’t accept an offer to go to a movie or join an exer A. Her former husband went out to watch football games. B. She started to play racquetball at a health club. C. They spent too much time together and got bored with each other. D. They spent so little time together that they could not talk to each other. [单项选择]
The faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr, Al- ken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided two photographs—one photo for each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some judges were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgments were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the judges were quite successful at deciding who was married to whom. They were particularly successful with the most happily-married couples. 我来回答: 提交
