Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．

Scientists have determined it's not advisable to hurry marriage．But what's the best age to wed?

When Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husband, comments from her friends suggested that she was only 21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized she'd been too young to make such a life-altering decision．Could fellow young celebrity divorcées（离婚者） Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?

The Magic Number

       There are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money．

It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she'll get divorced ．．．and by 25, you're more likely to have earned a degree or two．Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn't meet their standards．

Odds（可能性） are that by 25 you're also supporting yourself, so there's less incentive（刺激; 鼓励）for you to rush into marriage because you're seeking financial security from him．But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure．Learning to budget your cash carefully when you're single will help you avoid financial problems-one of the main causes of couple fights-for the rest of your life．

Knowing the Real You

At 25, you've had time for some crucial life experiences, including a relationship or two that may have improved your Mr．Right radar．You've probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don't want in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can't live without．

Perhaps the most important aspect of waiting is that you'll know what your goals and values really are．While you don't want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar outlook on life．

Twenty-four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don't worry: Many young marriages survive．But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid-20s or later．

       Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell．Upon its    36   everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David

       David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   37   for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves．But something made David   38 ．I can still remember he was always   39   a smile and willing to help．He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He   40   just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home

       Weeks passed and the   41   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break．I smiled in   42   as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk．

       “I have something for you．” he said and   43   from behind his back a small box．  44   it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it．” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw nothing．I looked at David‘s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s   45  ．”

       “Oh no it isn’t” said David．“It’s full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there．”

       Tears filled my eyes   46  I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to．After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   47  the little empty box set on my desk．
