Every time you raise a hot-button issue, such as the in-laws or money, does your husband suddenly clam up? Take heart, more than 80 percent of the time, it"s the wife who brings up sticky marital issues, while the husband tries to avoid discussing them. This isn"t a symptom of a troubled marriage-it is true in most happy marriages.
Lilian
I watched many couples fight about one major issue. After four years , 69 percent of these successfully married couples were still fighting about the same problem. When you marry, you automatically inherit your set of unresolvable relationship problems. If you married somebody else, you"d have a different set.
Patrick
You"ll often hear that staying in a bad marriage is worse for everybody concerned-that getting divorced. That may be true if your home is so riddled with hostility it"s like a war zone. But I found that 75 percent of couples who rated their marriages as miserable but stayed married were happy five years later.
Brandy
Every couple experiences disappointment as initial romance and passion fade and they discover all their differences. He doesn"t do enough housework. She"s too emotional. He watches too much TV. She"s too lenient with the kids. We usually think the strongest marriages are those that survive major traumas, but frequently, it is those daily annoyances that eat away at a marriage.
Anthony
What if she is in corporate sales and he is a musician? She prizes safety and security while he longs for adventure? She loves watching football at home while he is a rover with a passion for sailing? Less resilient couples might see such dramatic differences as grounds for divorce. But paradoxically, it is this unbridled independence that holds marriage together.

B. Silence doesn"t spell trouble.

magazine's LETTERS section in which five people wrote about health.For questions
61 to 65, match the ham8 ofeach person to one of the statements (A to G) given
below.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
{{B}}Lee Beaty:{{/B}} Your"Health For Life"articles give
excellent advice on simple lifestyle changes to improve health.Whenever
possible, I ride my bike to work.While I was a student, I also rode to class.We
need to educate motorists about sharing the road with cyclists, and create bike
lanes to encourage more people to go from point A to point B while getting some
exercises, saving fuel and improving the environment.
Roberto Anson: You had a fascinating
exploration in your"Health For Life"articles.Technology often makes us give up
responsibility for our health.The United States has the best medical technology
but unequal access to care.The point is that, increasingly, only the wealthy and
well-off can afford health care.Your advice to skip the heart scan and spend the
money on a health club membership shifts the focus from technology to personal
responsibility. {{B}}Fred Leeds:{{/B}} Dr.Nancy
Rigotti's"Kicking the Habit"is tried.but not necessarily true advice. As a
former three-pack-a-day smoker.I tried these approaches many times with no
success until I finally accepted a fundamental truth about myself.Only after I
got my mind set to the point where my desire to quit smoking was stronger than
the desire to continue was I able to put the cigarettes down.
{{B}}BillWittig:{{/B}} It is well documented
that people witll the Type D personality have chemicals in their brains that
differ from those of normal people.Many of them never get mental health
treatment because they work, have families and by all observable criteria are
functioning well.They do not realize their problem.Vqhat might prevent the Type
D personality from having a heart attack is some psychological treatment as well
as fish oil. {{B}}Kristin Linklater:{{/B}} Your
magazine tells me that not only must I exercise to avoid heart attacks.but I
must be happy.I must laugh a lot, or my heart will be starved of necessary
chemicals. I must have friends and community to support me.or I'll certainly die
soon.I tried to take the Type D personality test that will determine whether I'm
going to die of negativity, but your column headings,"False, Less false,
Neutral, Less true, True, " make it impossible to figure out my
behavior. Note:there are two extra statements.
Statements [A] You can hardly force yourselfto do a thing
until you feel like doing it. [B] Mental health treatment may
help prevent some physical problems. [C] We'd better count more
on regular exercise than medical care. [D] I'm not interested in
taking any behavior test proposed in magazines. [E] Cycling is
good for health as well as for our surroundings. [F] To save
money and improve health,I quit driving to work. [G] I'm still
puzzled as to whether your advice and the listed personality details suit me or
not.
填空题Mrs. Green
填空题Hadley If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it. Randy Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it does not do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! Rowley Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. Bernice Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take pleasure from us? StatementsA. Smoking brings many psychological benefits.B. Tobacco is an important source of income to the government.C. Smoking is sure to cause diseases.D. It's a shortsighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.E. The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. F. The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking.G. It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer.
填空题Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed
their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person
to one of the statements given below.Nancy
Green Even though my whole family gets up really
early, I have always been a night person. I find that's my best time to get work
done. I like nighttime because everything is calm and I can just write. I feel
calmer and more focused at night. There is no pressure. When I read my papers in
the morning, I'm always amazed how good they sound.
Brandi Baldasano I try to use all the small
portions of time that I have available. I find that I can finish a lot in
fifteen minutes, because I am able to concentrate for that long knowing I have
only a few minutes. Those small units of time really add up over a week. Setting
small goals seems to help me avoid feeling overwhelmed. I use my calendar as a
guide, by writing down what school work I would like to accomplish each day to
stay caught up. Galo Calos
I'm the king of procrastination. I love to do everything at the last minute, and
I really pay the price by being nervous and anxious. I always say I'll stop this
pattern, but then once again, I'm up all night writing the paper or studying for
the test. I try to deal with it by at least starting the assignment early, doing
at least a quarter or even half of it, so I don't have to do it all the night
before. Usually I do end up doing it all but I always manage to get an A or B. I
guess I work well under pressure. Michael
Alper As a beginning college athlete, one of my big
problems was prioritizing my time and trying to balance my sport, school and
friends. My big mistake was putting my sport first. In the excitement, I placed
my sport as first priority, my new friends and teammates second, and my studies
last. Today I have plans to go on to graduate from school and I am affected by
my grades because I did not put a high enough emphasis on my classes.
Babara Sequra One big challenge I face
in managing time is not leaving time in my schedule for the unexpected. My days
are quite full and I have others depending on me to do things at certain times.
I don't give myself much spare time in my daily schedule and, in the end, that
can be quite stressful. Now match each of the persons with the
appropriate statement. Note:there are two extra
statements. Statements A. As
for me, it's never too late to learn. B. Unanticipated
occurrence makes my schedule tighter. C. I admit that I am a
night owl. D. I taste the bitterness from my sports
fever. E. I believe that haste makes waste. F.
I have the ability to deal with high pressure. G. I can make
efficient use of my time.
填空题Simon: As a budget traveller I like to hit the road with a backpack whenever I can. I've found www. Hostelbookers. Com a great resource for booking hostels in advance of arriving at a destination.

{{B}} Lisa:{{/B}} Sometimes I think that successful
marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I
turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It's a shame because
marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making
their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain
qualities to make it a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. If
partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be
maintained.{{B}} Elizabeth:{{/B}} One thing I think
that is important to a successful marriage is that you should not always think
of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes
me want to do things for him because of his generous nature. I know there are
many times he would rather be reading, relaxing, or working on the car, but he
only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the
kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made
cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I
feel very fortunate to have married him.{{B}}
Catherine:{{/B}} My husband is my best friend, with whom I
share most of my thought. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don't
have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset, he tells me
about it. Things like that are easier to deal with when they're out in the open
than when they're kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable
relationship.{{B}} Rose:{{/B}} I feel sorry for what
my divorced friends have lost. No matter bow earnestly the former spouses try to
"keep in touch", no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent
who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been
broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their
lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a
snapshot.{{B}} Betty:{{/B}} The very first trick to
a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is
necessary to make you magically complete Successful partnerships are not between
those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with
each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is
on earth only one mate intended for another.{{I}} Now match each
of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note:
there are two extra statements.{{/I}}{{B}}Statements{{/B}}[A] Being unselfish
is very important to make a marriage work[B] Being able to communicate makes
our marriage happy.[C] Being a person of independence leads to a successful
marriage.[D] Divorced people will live an incomplete life[E] Marriage is
the result of extended love.[F] Divorce results from a lack of
responsibility and a sense of humor.[G] Divorces can be avoided.

填空题Anusit Kundakorn
:
A United Nations agency is pressing Thailand to let more than 50 ethnic Uighurs travel to Turkey, instead of sending them to China.
The secretary general of Thailand"s National Security Council has been attempting to ease fears over China"s treatment of the returned Uighurs. This week, Anusit Kundakorn went to the detention center in Xinjiang where the 109 Uighurs are being held. He told Thai reporters that they are living in good conditions. He called the camp "clean and neat".
Thai officials have been negotiating with both China and Turkey for more than a year. The talks were launched after more than 350 Uighurs were found in hiding in Thailand.
About 180 Uighurs, mostly women and children, were sent to Turkey after receiving legal immigration documents. Turkey often provides such documents to Uighurs because of cultural links to the ethnic minority and claims that Uighur Muslims face persecution in China. But more than 50 Uighnrs remain at a Bangkok immigration detention center.
Vivian Tan
:
Vivian Tan is with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. She says the Thai government should give the group permission to travel freely.
"Well, basically, UNHCR has appealed to the government of Thailand to refrain from deporting people forcibly in (the) future. We"re urging the government to allow people who are still here (in Thailand) to depart voluntarily to a place where the government is willing to receive them."
Benjamin Zawacki
:
Benjamin Zawacki is a human rights advocate and lawyer. He says Thailand failed to let international organizations examine the cases of the Uighur refugees before sending them to China.
The Uighurs in Thailand have denied that they are from China. They instead claim that they are from Turkey. Turkish officials have visited them and provided them with legal travel documents to enter Turkey. But Thai officials have delayed the process because of pressure from China.
Niran Pitakwatchara
:
Commissioner Niran Pitakwatchara said processing future refugee claims must be based on human rights values. He also said that the more than 50 Uighurs still in Thailand should be sent to Turkey.
Prayut Chan-o-cha
:
Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has declined to comment on where the Uighurs will be sent. He has only said that they will remain in Thailand "for a while".
Now match each name to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
A. The remaining Uighurs should be sent to Turkey.
B. The Thai government should give the group permission to travel freely.
C. The remaining Uighurs will settle down in Thailand.
D. He removed some worries about China after his visit to Xinjiang.
E. Thailand has made some mistakes in dealing with the problem.
F. The remaining Uighurs should be sent to China.
G. They haven"t decided how to arrange the remaining Uighurs.
填空题Paula: The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future—that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain's electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain's electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Mary: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin. Judy: In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way. Carrie: In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to keep fit. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] You build your own future.[B] Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit.[C] Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.[D] Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or overweight[E] Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.[F] People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.[G] Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

{{B}} Liu:{{/B}} To me, work is first and my child
is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it's the only way to
be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my
child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the
cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible
for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short
maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at
work; I think that is her first step into society.{{B}}
Liang:{{/B}} Nowadays, economic independence is particularly
important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I
believe women should first live as a social entity (实体), then as a mother. And
there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working
world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be
impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to
lend me a hand.{{B}} Yao:{{/B}} When women make
their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal
instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child
care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better
job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main
educator while father works as her assistant.{{B}}
Wang:{{/B}} Women are naturally fit for human reproduction
while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role
of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman's
value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.{{B}}
Zhao:{{/B}} Although we may say women's talents lie in being
mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and
they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to
balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal
members of society and have value in all social fields. Now
match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: There are two extra statements.{{B}}
Statements{{/B}} [A] My child is the focus of my
life. [B] Family and work are both important for
women. [C] Men should be asked to return to their paternal
duties. [D] I would give up the whole world for my
work. [E] Women need work to prove their own value.
[F] Women are born to be mothers. [G] Women understand
child better than men.
