But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of family in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father, and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austins Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragementlead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home and the financial relief(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆 ).It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.51. What does the author mean by Family is of course an elastic word? A. Different families have different ways of life. B. Different times produce different families. C.

A. financial while the wifes is running the home B. defending the family which the wifes is running the home C. supporting the family while the wifes is financial D. independent while the wifes is dependent53. Everything is decided in a British family _. A. by the couple B. with the help of their parents C. by brothers and sisters D. with the help of aunts and uncles54. What is true concerning the book “Pride and Prejudice”? A. It is the best book on marriage. B. It is a handbook of marriage. C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past. D. It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.55. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in _. A. the right to get married B. more parental support C. finding a job D. social position Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage： Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works. Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think its the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise? “Theres no need to say anything.” If things are going well, you may think theres no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed up as “if I dont say anything, then everythings OK”. What this really means is “Ill only say something when there is something to criticize”. “If I say well done, theyll stop trying.” Do you think that if you compliment your children theyll slack off? If we are praised for a job well done, it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?” “If I praise one, the others will be jealous.” If you are honest and fair in your praise and recognize the special talents of each child, they wont resent praise given to their siblings.
