听力原文:W: Hi, you look a little lost. Do you need some help?
M: No, thanks. I'm just resting, waiting for my family to conic back. They are sightseeing over there.
W: Oh, are you here on vacation? Why don't you go with them?
M: This kind of thing interests my wife and kids, but it's not really to my taste. In fact, I didn't even want to come to this country.
W: Oh, did you have to come on business?
M: No. We are on vacation. I wanted to go to Europe, but the kids wanted to come here. So we had a family meeting and put it to a vote, and I was outvoted 3 to 1. So here we are!
W: But you are their father! Shouldn't they listen to what you want to do?
M: Well, it's just good common sense that everybody should have a say when an important decision that affects all of us is to be made, such as taking a trip. I was really hoping to go to Europe, but the kids get more out of a trip if they are interested in what they are seeing. We believe there is no sense making kids do anything they don't want to do, so in our family we vote on a lot of things. Oh, here they come.

听力原文: Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Nevertheless, most American people get married at the present time. Fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a see6nd time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime. Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form. "serial marriages". In his new book Fortune Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modern society, people's lives don't stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends. So, the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband and wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don't share the same interests any more. For this reason, Toffler says, people in the twenty- first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.

Acceptance of Chronic Illness
For chronically i11 patients, giving up the hope that they will get better may actually lead to more happiness, U.S. researchers suggest.
"Hope is an important part of happiness, but there's a dark side of hope. Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get in the way of happiness," Dr. Peter A. Ubel from the University of Michigan Health System said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues studied patients who'd just had a colostomy (结肠造口术), which means their colons (结肠) were removed and they had to have bowel (肠) movements in a pouch (小袋) outside the body. At the time of the surgery, some patients were told the procedure was reversible and they'd have a second operation in a few months to reconnect their bowels. Other patients were told the colostomy was permanent.
The patients were followed for six months, and the researchers found that those without hope of regaining normal bowel function were happier than those with reversible colostomies.
"We think they were happier because they got on with their lives. They realized the cards they were dealt, and recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards," Ubel said. "The other group was waiting for their colostomy to be reversed. They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead, and didn't make the best of their current situation. "
The study, published in the November edition of Health Psychology, also may explain why people whose spouse (配偶) dies often recover better emotionally over time than those who get divorced, the researchers said.
That's because people whose husband or wife dies have closure (结束), while those who get divorced may still have hope for some chance of making up, they explained.
Chronically ill patients may be happier______.
A.if they keep thinking of their past.
B.if they believe they'll recover.
C.if they put off moving on.
D.if they manage to get on with their life.
