 More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving(旺盛的). As Skolnich notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline(衰退)in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce(离婚)rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of the people in our society.

  What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical American family consisted of the husband, the wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children, and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶).

  Thus, one can find every type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriages; marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers and half-sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.

By calling Americans a marrying people the writer means that ________.

  A. Americans are more traditional than Europeans

  B. Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans

  C. there are more married couples in the USA than in Europe

  D. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age

Divorced Americans ________ .

  A. prefer the way they live                   B. will most likely remarry

  C. have lost interest in marriage               D. are the majority of people in the society

Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today’s American families?

  A. Different types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.

  B. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.

  C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.

  D. There are no nuclear families any more.

Though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families, ________ .

  A. the majority of Americans still have faith in marriage

  B. the functions of marriage remain unchanged

  C. most Americans prefer a second marriage

D. most Americans prefer to be single

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆).I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(紧握)at one another's hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it.They have come out of their cocoon(茧) into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way.Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market.These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. 

And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds to a great barrier(障碍) for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following, You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts 'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it.Find yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
