2.At our fellow WSJ's blog,The Wallet,there's a challenging Q & A with the authors of a new book called Smart Girls Marry Money,a satirical self-help book which has a serious mission-to get women and men to talk more about marriage and finances.
The book came into being when the two working-mom authors,Ford and Drake,M.D.,met while picking up their young children from preschool.They noticed that the moms who were able to spend the most time with their kids were the"moms who hadn't necessarily taken their careers seriously and married someone with money,"said Dr.Drake in the interview."It became a joke that if we were smart,we would have married for money."
The authors aren't saying that every woman should desire to marry a rich guy.But they argue that marriage shouldn't just be about love-it should also be an economic partnership (as marriage traditionally was for centuries).Women and men should be more frank about marriage and money,instead of entering marriage starry-eyed without considering the financial future.
Dr.Drake,in the interview,also asserted that women shouldn't abandon their careers,in case of a spouse's illness or divorce."It's an important possession,"she said.(The full Q & A can be found here.)
The interview struck a chord for me:I happen to know quite a few women,especially back in New York,for whom the net worth of their potential spouses or at least their earning potential-was an important factor in determining suitability for marriage.I'm not saying these women married solely for money,but it was a key consideration.Now,after having children-or in some cases,after marriage none of these women work.
Readers,do you know women or men who have married for money?How important,honestly,were financial considerations when evaluating your partner?

68.What is the purpose of paragraph1?B
A.It tells the background of the book.
B.It introduces the topic of the book.
C.It shows a lot of detail of the book.
D.It explains why the book is so popular.
69.What can be inferred (推断) from paragraph 2?D
A.Ford and Drake don't work when they become moms after marriage.
B.Certain moms can spend time with kids because they don't work.
C.It is necessary for women to give up their work to take care of kids.
D.It is not a smart behavior to marry guys only for money rather than love.
70.What's the author's attitude towards the issue that people marry for money?D
A.The author thinks that women should marry men with lots of money.
B.The author insists both men and women should earn enough money.
C.The author doesn't believe that money is very important in marriage.
D.The author doesn't show her personal agreement or disagreement.
71.What's the best title for the passage?C
A.Is money important for career?
B.How can girls marry rich guys?
C.Is it smart to marry for money?
D.How can girls become smart?
