一、阅读理解

When Sally and Tom got married, people thought they were the perfect couple. But things didn't work out. First they tried a separation. Living apart made them realize that they should never have gotten married. In May, their marriage ended in divorce.

When Jesse and Rachel got married, they knew they wanted to live in a traditional nuclear family -- mother, father, an 渝粤教育 d biological children. Rachel had been born out of wedlock. Because her parents had never married, she had never met her biological father. Jesse's mother had been widowed. His father's early death made Jesse want to have a large family. So they decided that a more traditional arrangement was what they wanted.

When Doris and Henry decided to get married, their friends were surprised. Doris and Henry were only 20 years old, and their friends expected that the couple would delay marriage at least until they finished college. At the beginning of the 20thcentury the average age at which people married began to decline.

Sue doesn't see why anyone else should care whether or not she is married. When strangers ask her whether she is married, she tells them that her marital status is none of their business.

Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot of money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. This is as it should be.

The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And who said that all men in the world should wear grey clothes and short hair? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives? Haven't the old lost touch with all that is important in life?

Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not "sinful". Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely n 成人学历 ot wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.

8.The young are challenging traditional values EXCEPT in ______.

A.clothing fashion

B.traditional concepts

C.fixed working hours

D.marriage patterns

A.the young generation differs from the old in their attitude toward life

B.the young generation seeks to possess more material wealth
