People who are married or in committed relationships are healthier, wealthier, and happier. So why do more than 60 percent of marriages end in divorce? Why has the national divorce rate climbed more than 200 percent in the last thirty years? And why are fewer people getting married today than ever before?

The answers to these questions are plentiful, but the main reason is simple. It's easy to “fall” in love but very few people know how to stay in love. Even though staying in love is our “smartest” choice all the way around! Recent studies on marriage prove it's one of the major ingredients in life-frog success for men and women. Marriage has also been found to boost happiness, reduce the degree of depression, and provide protection from sexually transmitted diseases.

So let's wake up, make up, and turn this trend around! One of the most amazing pieces of evidence that shows people are not in touch with what's really going on in their partnerships is the fact that the majority of people who put in for divorce say they didn't think there was a relationship-threatening problem just six months prior to breaking up. Another shocker is that most couples wait six years or more to seek professional help when their relationship is in danger. By the time they do wake up and smell the coffee, it's often too late.

Truly there is no reason to resign yourself to a bad relationship? Whether you're dating or married. Rather than changing partners and ending up this same predicament(困境) again, you can learn to have a fabulous (难以置信的) relationship with the partner you already have! I strongly encourage you to make the relationship you have work, because there is a higher rate of divorce in second marriages.

    1. According to the author, which of the following is NOT true?

     A. A happy marriage can be beneficial for both partners' mentality.

     B. More and more people face marriage crisis.

     C. Large portions of people are not quite sure of the meaning of true love.

      D. More and more people tend to be single.

    2. The fundamental reason for marriage crisis is——.

       A. that people are too easy to fall in love without a comprehensive understanding

       B. that people do not know how to get along well with partners after marriage

       C. some kinds of economic pressure and stress

       D. to maintain a life-long love is too difficult for common people

    3. What does the author mean by saying “...smell the coffee, it's often too late” in Para. 3

       A. Partners who like drinking coffee are more likely to experience divorce.

       B. People are always not aware of enough about marriage crisis.

       C. Partners should have a happy ending of marriage when facing crisis.

       D. People should value their marriage.

    4. It can be inferred from the passage that the author may be a (an)

       A. journalist         B. professor

       C. advisor         D. official

  There is good and bad news for parents today.The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language.But “father” failed even to make it on to the list of the 70 best words compiled(汇编)in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the globe.From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love” “smile” and “blossom”.

  “Mother-in-law” was also nowhere to be seen.Funny that maybe the hyphens(连字符)disqualified it.

  In second place was “passion”, followed by “smile” “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic(难以置信的)”“destiny” “freedom” “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10.

  The results were revealed by the British Council which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non-English speaking countries.

  The study was undertaken to celebrate the group's 70th anniversary-and it threw up a few surprising entries to the list.

  “It's interesting that ‘mother’, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll(投票)”, said British Council spokesman Greg Selby.“It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council's purpose-words such as freedom’ ‘liberty’ ‘peace’ ‘renaissance’ and ‘destiny’.”

  Those surveyes were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr.Selby.This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce, like “flip-flop”, made the list.

  Famous mothers like Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular.

  Kate, 28, even pulled out of Woody Allen's new film to spend more time with her young family.

  Singer Robbie Williams is proud to declare his love for his mother, while comedian Peter Kay endured a marathon British tour to pay for a new house for his mom.

  The mood was added to by Britney Spears, yesterday as she expressed her love for her mother.

  She said:“My mom was and still is a supermom.She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I relate to her so well is because she's young mom.”

  She added:“Mom, thanks for being the best role model-you rock.”
