And if you are a woman, its even worse. Many young people get married simply to escape others gossip. This is a serious compromise. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they cant find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasnt come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a duty-to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.25. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” refer to _.A. interested in B. satisfied with C. worried about D. likely to suffer 26. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage? A. One may face social blame and family pressure if one hasnt got married by 30 in China.B. Miss Kates parents are always worried about her marriage.C. Miss Kate wont compromise if she cant have her ideal marriage.D. Miss Kate wants to marry a worthy young man. 27. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because_.A. she doesnt think he is the right man she wants B. he is either too old or too youngC. he is either important or little learned D. he doesnt have good manners28. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. marriage is a duty to society B. people should get married before 30 years old C. late marriage should be respected D. women should get married earlier than menCIts true that many dads in the wild arent interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!The male giant water bug doesnt seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one or two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he cant fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.Now lets turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback fish looks after all his young until they can live on their own.A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguins goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the fathers feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!29. What do we know about the giant water bug?A. It is unable to fly.B.
