“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one?s parents and starting one?s own life. The man?s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife?s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife?s parents nor the husband?s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.?
Readers of novels like Jane Austen?s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl?s parents, that is, it was the parents? duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents? home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with. I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday, this still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

I went to Beijing this National holiday, and it was an interesting experience of my life.
My friends told us that taking the “hard 1” to Beijing would be really terrible. So we didn’t know what to 2. But we were pleasantly surprised when we finally boarded the3, which was relatively modern and4. During the 14-hour ride we ate peanuts and talked. It was not5at all.
It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much6. However, we had energy. First, we tried to get return tickets to Shanghai, but the tickets seller7us that tickets would not be on8for another two days. We were a little worried about getting9, but we made up our minds to10for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way11the “gypsy” taxi driver who tried to12one hundred yuan for the ride, we found another taxi and it13cost us thirty yuan to get14we had planned to go. When we reached the hotel, there was a window for airplane and train tickets.15, the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we16. The most important lesson about China I ever17is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much18. We were not able to get tickets, but the19agents could.
While in Beijing we saw a lot of places of interest, most of which were very20. It was fun to be with thousands of people in one place. There aren’t any words to describe it.

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to1the problem. It certainly wasn’t2doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled3from behind me. A man got out and offered to4me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(纹身)on his arm, I became5as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But6I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the7. While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had8me.
Then, without9, it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I10agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much11when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my12, the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you13with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he14at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he15it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they16. As we shook hands I began to apologize for my17. He said, ‘‘I experience that same18often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I19thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a20. So I’11 leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me.

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of1.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking2I might do and found I didn’t have much to3.

We7that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me off the next. But8, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely9and fed up, because I had too many10nights and early mornings with the children.

She suggested that I should take a (n)13and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I did not think I would be 14because I didn’t take many exams in school. She15me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience16for a lot and I got a part-time course. I had to17my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I’ve got a full-time job there, I shall always be18to Megan. I wish I had known19that you could have a career,20you aren’t top of the class at school.
