1.What do you think are the things that contribute to

a successful marriage?

The success of a marriage is due to many factors, of which love is obviously the most important one. Other factors, which are not entirely unrelated to love, include shared values and interests, mutual understanding, commitment, effective communication, similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc. With the same values and moral standards, friends may develop into lifelong partners. After marriage, there needs to be a commitment to one another, and to the well-being and development of the family. Similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. They believe that only with mutual appreciation and understanding can the couple get along easily and happily.

2.Why do people get divorced? Can you guess some of the reasons?

Sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love

was blind at that time. After marriage, they see each other’s shortcomings more clearly. When disappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable. Sometimes it is because one of the couple has changed after the marriage. For example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardly any time left to be with his wife. Sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. Due to the continual quarrelling at home, the family breaks up.

3.What do you think of the lives of single mothers?

Most people look upon single mothers with sympathy. Single mothers have to support their children on their own. They may fine it difficult to provide their children with all the luxuries children of two-parent families enjoy. Worse still, they may be under great psychological pressure. Moreover, their children may develop a sense of inferiority. When they see other children are bathed in the love of both parents, they may feel bitterly disappointed.

4.What is your view of the fact that the wife’s

housekeeping duties remain the same even when she works outside? What could be the solution?

If the wife works during the day just like the husband, then it is obviously unfair for the wife to shoulder all the housekeeping duties, and if the husband can share the household chores with the wife, the love between them can be strengthened.

Unfortunately, influenced by tradition, many men are unwilling to do housework, thinking it to be unmanly. If we want to change the situation, the media had better give more publicity to“model husband” who assume a large part of those duties. Gradually, people may change their image of a husband who constantly sits in front of the TV, watching football games or international news. Also, the development of modern technology and the appearance of more modern conveniences will further lighten the housekeeping burden. Thus the problem of who should do the housework will become less important.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案 Unit 1 Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong?' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.b Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy? 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother? 3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy? Exercise 2: 1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer." 2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled. 2) She had told her lady friends about this. Text 2 Dating with My Mother (Part Two) We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. 'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.

Unit 1 Passage one In terviewer: Can you tell me …how do you think you have cha nged as you have matured?What Speaker 1 : things have had a major influence on you? Well, let me think … I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there with weird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I'm much more tolerant now …It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character? Speaker 1: I guess that'd have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this … Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life? Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well … just the generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asia and you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos, people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It's probably made me a less selfish person. In terviewer: In teresti ng …so you would recomme nd that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world? Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really … Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in Speaker 3: forming your personality? Well … a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was voted off by the audience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing how the other contestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spiteful some people can be just to get what they want. I also realized it 'sbest to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right … And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off? Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn't win because I kind of …Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on Speaker 4: your life? Hmm, that 'sa difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I 'm half Thai and I 'd just arrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help-you couldn 't not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was an incredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount of g kindness. Interviewer: That 's amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future
