根据内容回答题。

Trying to Find a Partner

One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.

Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships？ Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love？ Or are we making it harder for ourselves？

It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit,fit in different ways from relation- ships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesn&39;t expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.

But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.

In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate (,L&39;J2Jk) was constrained by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.

Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎), you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.

But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.

The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree : good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.

We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn&39;t, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don&39;t put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rea- ring creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.

根据以下材料，回答题

Middle Age: A Low Point for Most

People around the globe hit the height of their misery and depression in middle 51_________ .， a new international study suggests. The finding by British and American researchers was based on an analysis of well-being among approximately 52_________ million people in 80 nations. With few exceptions，the observation appears to apply across the board， regardless 2 gender （性别）， culture，geography， wealth， job history， education， and marriage or parental status.

"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant "U" 53_________ through life，" said study author Andrew J. Oswald， a professor of economics at Warwick University in Warwickshire， England. "For the average person， it"s high when you"re 20， and then it slowly 54_________ and bottoms out in your 40s. But the good news is that your 55_________ health picks up again， and eventually gets back to the high levels of your youth."

The finding was 56_________ on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data，including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys （first launched in the 1970s）， involving about 500，000 American and Western European men and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "World Values Survey" 57_________ between 1981 and 2004 in North America， Eastern and WesternEurope， Asia， Africa， Australia， and Central and South America; and a 2004-2007 survey 58_________ nearly 1 million Britons.

The bottom-line: For most people throughout the world， the highest probability for 59_________ striking is around 44 years of age.

In the United States， however， some as-yet unexplained 60_________ differences were observed， with happiness among men dipping the most in their early 50s， whereas women hit their nadir （最低点） around the age of 40.

The researchers cautioned that cheerful people tend to live longer than unhappy. 61_________ – a fact that might have skewed （使偏斜） the overall finding. But they also suggested that evidence of a happiness 62_________ might simply reflect a midlife choice to give up long-held but no longer tenable （守得住的） aspiration （志向）， followed by a senior"s sense of gratitude for having successfully endured 63_________ others did not.

"That said， some might find it helpful simply to understand the general 64_________ of mental health as they go through their own life，" said Oswald. "It might be useful for people to realize that if they are 65_________ in their 40s this is normal. It is not exceptional. And just knowing this might help".

回答题。

Norwich

Norwich, the capital of the part of Britain known as East Anglia, has been in existence for more than two thousand years. It began as a small village beside the River Wensum. At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066 it had grown to become one of the largest towns in England.

With two cathedrals and a mosque (清真寺 ) , Norwich has long been a popular centre for various religions. The first cathedral was built in 1095 and has recently celebrated its 900th anniversary, while Norwich itself had a year of celebration in 1994 to mark the 800th anniversary of the city receiving a Royal Charter. This allowed it to be called a city and to govern itself independently.

Today, in comparison with places like London or Manchester, Norwich is quite small, with a population of around 150 000, but in the 16th century Norwich was the second largest city of England. It continued to grow for the next 300 years and got richer and richer, becoming famous for having as many churches as there are weeks in the year and as many pubs as there are days in the year.

Nowadays, there are far fewer churches and pubs, but in 1964 the University of East Anglia was built in Norwich with its fast-growing student population and its success as a modern commercial centre (Norwich is the biggest centre for insurance services outside London ) , the city now has a wide choice of entertainment : theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, busy cafes, excellent restaurants, and a number of arts and leisure centres. There is also a football team, whose colours are green and yellow. The team is known as "The Canaries (金丝雀 )" , though nobody can be sure why.

Now the city&39;s attractions include another important development, a modern shopping centre called "The Castle Mall" . The people of Norwich lived with a very large hole in the middle of their city for over two years, as builders dug up the main car park. Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city centre park with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees. But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains, right in the heart of the city and next to the new development. Both areas continue to do good business, proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new.
