\弹性的) word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of \sense of mother, father, and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the 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 financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs 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 novels like Jane Austin'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
4
encouragement—lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.
Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home and the financial relief(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆 ).It is very different today. Most girls of today get 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. 51.What does the author mean by \ A. Different families have different ways of life. B. Different times produce different families. C. Different nations have different families.
D. Different definitions could be given to the word. 52.For an English family, the husband's duty is ______. A. financial while the wife's is running the home

C.by brothers and sisters D.with the help of aunts and uncles 54. What is true concerning the book “Pride and Prejudice”? A. It is the best book on marriage. B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
D. It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.
55.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____. A. the right to get married B. more parental support C.finding a job D. social position
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：
Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works.
Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think it's the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise?
“There's no need to say anything.”
If things are going well, you may think there's no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed up as “if I don't say anything, then everything's OK”. What this really means is “I'll only say something when there is something to criticize”.
“If I say 'well done', they'll stop trying.”
Do you think that if you compliment your children they'll slack off? If we are praised for a job well done,
it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?” “If I praise one, the others will be jealous.”
