Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 “Family“ is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings

29、. 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 in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a

30、 new and independent family hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man and woman, marriage means leaving one s parents and starting one s own life. The man s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her fin

31、ancial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and their alone. Neither the wife s parents nor the husband s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them they are their own masters. Readers of nove

32、ls like Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl s parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually t

33、o ask their permission to marry her.

It is very different today. Most girls of today get

34、 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. Every coin has two sides; independence for girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of the girls, as their social

35、status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下，下级 )of their parents and husbands. 46 What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word“? （ A） Different families have different ways of life. （ B） Different definitions could be given to the word. （ C） Different nation

36、s have different families. （ D） Different times produce different families. 47 For an English family, the husband s duty is_. （ A） supporting the family while the wife is working out （ B） defending the family while the wife is running the home （ C） providing financial support while the wife is runni

38、st book on marriage. （ B） It is a handbook on marriage. （ C） It gives some idea of English social life in the past. （ D） It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families. 50 With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in_. （ A） the right family
