family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship. because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying. on the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husbands or wifes emotional (情感的) needs are not met within the family circleeven if all other family functions (功能) are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modern family. 1. it is generally believed that _.a. many people spend their lives in familiar communitiesb.
