23、rnible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin to date in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady“ through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying l
24、ocks and clucking of middle-aged tongues over the ways of “wayward youth“. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays. It does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many studen
25、ts are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation or loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage entered as an escape cannot prove to be entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom s
26、olves ones problems; More often, it merely accentuates them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say in theological terms that they are forsaking one idol only to worship another. Young people
27、correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that “success“ is the final good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of lifes meaning. Their expectaions of marriage are essentially Utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too
28、much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of “Miserere“ over early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional ma
29、turity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can
30、bad ones.（分数：5.00）(1).According to this article the trend toward early marriages（分数：1.00）A.is the result of the Great Depression of the 30s.B.cannot be easily determined.C.is what can be clearly seen.D.is an outgrowth of the moral looseness brought about by World War .(2).The author suggests that ma

Babysitters dandle kids in the wooden gazebo, w
34、aiting for commuter parents to return from New York. On a lazy afternoon last week Caroline Nicholas, 16, had nothing more pressing to do than pinken in the early-summer sunshine and discuss the recent events in town. “I dont think a lot of older people knew there were unhappy kids in New Milford,“
35、she said, “I could see it coming.“In a five-day period in early June eight girls were brought to New Milford Hospital after what hospital officials call suicidal gestures. The girls, all between 12 and 17, tried a variety of measures, including heavy doses of alcohol, over-the-counter medicines and
36、cuts or scratches to their wrists. None was successful, and most didnt require hospitalization; but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of suburban life. “I was just sick of it all,“ one told a reporter.
37、 “Everything. Life.“ Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark. But coming in the wake of at least sixteen suicide attempts over the previous few months, this su
38、dden clusteralong with the influx of mediahas set this well-groomed suburb of 23,000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, “Were talking about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand.“ Later he ad
39、ded. “There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here.“Sobo said that the girls he treated didnt have serious problems at home or school. “Many of those were popular kids,“ he said. “They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swat
40、h of teens here are not making it. Some say that drugs, both pot and real drugs, are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms. A few girls casually display scars on their arms where they cut themselves.“ “Youd be surprised how many kids try suicide,“ s
41、aid one girl, 17. “You dont want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself.“ She said she used to cut herself “just to release the pain“.Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in June, said one was having family problems, one was “upset that day“ and the third was “just upset wi
42、th everything else going on“. She said they werent really trying to kill themselvesthey just needed concern. As Sobe noted, “Whats going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford.“ The same underlying culture of despair could be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a “contagion

The audien
47、ce sits in the auditorium structure and watches the actors perform in the stage house. This separation is more than an aesthetic impression, because the building codes require that a physical barrier protect the audience from a fire starting on the stage. A fireproof wall, rather than a mere partition separates the structures, and this the proscenium opening in case of fire. Automatic fire doors similarly
