7、is not that opposites attract each other but that like attracts like. People fall in love with others who share their interests and tastes and whose personalities are similar. Hill, Rubin, and Peplau found only slight support for this view. On a great many characteristics, couples were not alike. On
8、 others, couples were only somewhat alike. Couples did tend to be about the same age, to be equally good-looking, to have similar IQ scores, to be of the same religion , and to want the same number of children. But on each of these things, quite a few couples differed from one another. In fact, on o
9、nly one question did most agree on. whether they were “in love“. The early interviews failed to find that being alike was very important in bringing couples together. The follow-up interviews found that similarities were much more important in keeping couples together. Those who were together after
10、two years were much more closely matched than couples who broke up, especially in terms of age, IQ, college plans, and looks. Thus, couples were much more likely to break up if one person was a lot smarter, better looking, or older. It is easy to imagine why these differences would matter. If one pe
11、rson is much smarter or more mature than the other, this could cause conflicts. If one person is much better looking, he or she will have more chances for other relationships. Yet other things that would seem as important turned out not to matter. Those who stayed together differed not at all from t
12、hose who broke up in how alike they were on religion, sex role ideas, beliefs about sex, idealism, or the number of children they wanted. Surely, one might suppose that marked differences in sex role attitudes could cause friction or that religious differences might lead to breakups. But there was n
13、o evidence of this. In fact, conflict was not one of the main reasons people gave for breaking up. Most said they broke up because they got bored with the other person. Often this caused one of the pair to become interested in someone else, thus prompting (促进) the split (分裂). Perhaps surprisingly, t
14、he woman got involved with someone else far more often than the man. Also, women were much more likely to suggest a breakup than men, regardless of the grounds. However, people were more likely to remain friends after the breakup if the man asked for the split. This suggests that the male ego is mor

21、：阅读理解(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、第一篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)How Do American Consumers Borrow?Young consumers often have not established their credit ratings. Many do not have steady incomes. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relatives are usually their best
22、 source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interest-free loan. However, a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest as any other lender. There are disadvantages in borrowing from parent
23、s or relatives. One is that they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time. As a result, you might let the loan drag on. This is especially true if you are not required to pay interest. This is not a way to develop good credit habits. For most consumers, the cheapest place to bor
24、row is at a commercial bank. Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months or up to 30. Most banks also make single payment loans to consumers for short periods 30, 60, or 90 days. The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply by writing a check. It is
25、 usually called something like “ready credit“ or “reserved checking.“ It works like this. A depositor is given a limited amount of credit, usually between $ 500 and $1, 000. He or she may write checks up to the amount allowed. Once a check has been written, the amount of the check becomes a loan. Us
26、ually no charge is made for interest (利息) until the loan is made. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per $100 per day, or just under 1 percent a month. Suppose that you used $100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. If you repaid it in 10 days, the cost would be only
27、30 cents. The advantage of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lower rates than most other lenders. One reason is that banks have more strict credit requirements than most other lenders. A consumer must have a fairly good credit rating to get a bank loan.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the f
28、ollowing is NOT true?（分数：3.00）A.The newest type of bank loan is simple to get.B.Bank loans are more difficult to get.C.Banks charge higher interest rates.D.Banks offer loans to those having a fairly good credit ratin(2).One of the disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives is that（分数：3.00）
29、A.parents or relatives will ask the young people to pay back soon.B.it will not help young people to develop a good credit habit.C.they always charge interest.D.they always charge higher rates than other lenders.(3).Most commercial banks offer（分数：3.00）A.installment loans that may run from 12 to 30 m
30、onths.B.installment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days.C.single-payment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days.D.single-payment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months.(4).“Ready credit“ or “reserved checking“（分数：3.00）A.is designed to give the depositor a check.B.allows the depositor to write a ch
31、eck to pay any amount.C.allows the depositor to borrow money from a bank by writing a check.D.allows the depositor to charge an interest.(5).According to the first paragraph, young people（分数：3.00）A.have difficulty borrowing from their parents or relatives.B.cant get an interest-free loan from their
32、parents or relatives.C.always borrow money from an agency.D.usually borrow from their parents or relatives.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Road Trip VacationsIts summer. In the United States, its the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips. Road trip vacations where the car journey is part
33、of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money. “Ever since I went to college, Ive been traveling around a lot, exploring the country,“ said Austin Hawki
34、ns, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous (自发的). “On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop a
35、nd explore. “ Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. “With road trips you dont have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive.“ Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas,
36、 but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities. By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of t
37、he US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier. Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census. Though many colle
38、ge students dont own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins trips, they used a borrowed van. Hawkins most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last Jul
39、y. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots. Roberts road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the 250 cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around
40、in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage. “I know we should have planned better, but were young. Now, when I see those guys I always say. Remember when we were lost in the snow storm! Ill never forget that./（分数：15.00）(1).The word “blizzard“ in paragraph 12 can be replaced b

44、ess traveler, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Instead, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would right argue that they have always catered best for the executive cl
45、ass passengers. But many airlines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the expense of the regular traveler. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline is essentially a matter
46、of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets. It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankr
47、uptcies (破产) were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable, and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers has c
48、reated a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition (卡脖子竞争) driving down fares had been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering on the brink. Against this grim (严酷) background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasin
49、gly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists. High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executives time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executives attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part
