Unit 1 Getting along with others 一、阅读理解。Its an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and whats the point if you cant go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year we just wont go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what its for, he explains. Theyll say its to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them. He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that theyve achieved something. The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know whats going on with their finances, but they dont. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what youre doing, whos paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you dont have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.1. What does the author say about going on holiday in Paragraph 1?A. It will cost them too much money.B. Few people can afford it without working hard.C. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.D. It is the chief cause of family quarrels.2. According to the text, what does Kim Stephenson believe?A.
