一、阅读理解

September is the ninth month of the year. However, the word September comes from the Latin word septem, which means "seven". This is because long ago a different calendar was used in which September was indeed the seventh month. When J 国家开放大学 ulius Caesar, leader of Rome, changed the calendar, he made September the ninth month.

　　September in the Northern Hemisphere（北半球）is a time of change. With autumn and winter getting nearer, temperatures usually begin to drop. It is also the productive time of the year since it is when farmers harvest some of their vegetables and fruit, especially apples, which have finished their growing season.

September has thirty days. In English, the word is often abbreviated（缩写）to just four letters. The major U. S. holiday in September is Labor Day. This holiday, which comes on the first Monday of the month, is in honor of all people who work. September 7th is Brazil's Independence Day and Chile 广东开放大学 's is the eighteenth.

Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady”through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. 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 (七十岁）.

Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage seldom solves one’s problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that “success”is the ultimate goal, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.

Shall we, then, join the chorus of “Miseries”over early marriage? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity 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 are bad ones.

A.overrated

B.unworthy of worship
