  Wherever in the world you're reading this right now, you will be aware of just how mixed modern society has become in terms of race.Within the UK, mixed-raced children are the largest   1   ethnic minority.Bringing home a partner of a different   2   to yourself is no longer viewed as, “strange” or “different” in a lot of families.When Joseph brought home Hari, the   3   that she was of Indian parentage was never even talked about-she made him happy.They made each other happy.And that was all that   4  

  But the reason why they were together for 11 years before they got   5   is that Hari was afraid of telling her   6   about the person that she'd fallen in love with.She was afraid of the consequences it would   7   for her younger sisters.Would they be packed off to India?Would they end up in arranged   8   they may not want?At 22 years old, when she first fell in love with him - it was a large burden to   9  

  But she loved him, and   10   they moved in together… and then bought a house by the Brighton coast, where they have   11   for almost 8 years.All the while her parents didn't know.Her sisters did, and they too loved Joseph-they   12   him as the brother they'd never had.

  But after nine years together, she finally had to tell her father(her mother   13   away a few years ago).We were on tenderhooks(惶恐不安)the weekend she went up North to tell him.

  It was emotional and as a family we were worried.Hari had been   14   of our family for so long, we felt for her.We knew how   15   it would be.She loved her father, but knew this would hurt him, who was a very traditional Sikh man.

Answer each question according to the required words limit.

  If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport.

  There are three basic types.Top roping is probably the most common type and is basically climbing with a partner.Lead climbing is very similar to top roping.In both types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.

  Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any type of ropes or harnesses(保护带).This is the most challenging of all types of climbing.The climber must be able to complete the task without taking a rest on the rope.

  Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and 25% arms.To climb successfully, the climber must master a wonderful technique.One of the major rules is to always have 3 points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, it is much easier to have your weight rest on 3 points than on 2.Another important technique to grip(抓紧)is that your arms will not do the climbing in most cases.They only hold you into the wall so that your legs can push you upward.The closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.

  Rock climbing may sound too extreme but it is really an amazing exercise and mentally challenging, too.

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. 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.
