5、In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the mans family negotiated a bride price with the woma

6、ns family; the mans family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the brides family paid a grooms price to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged. What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arrang

7、ed by families or occurring from personal attraction or love-are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the mans family must

8、go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the mans family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the

9、 second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man hav

10、ing the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences. Part II - B1. physical appearance; 2. what somebody looks like, ., look beyond the physical appear

11、ance3. the high percentage of divorces.4. falling love with somebody,. ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages its the physical appearance that attracts. I think

12、unless you find somebody attractive, unless theres something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person,

13、unless thats there I think you just dont bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say unfortunately?Because in fact it shouldnt be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he

14、 or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have

15、 to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesnt exist?Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce-its a third I think now, isnt it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probabl

16、y as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in lo

17、ve, and thats it., its the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think thats the problem, because people just expect that, and its not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship going?Well, I think you have to differentiate between

18、falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that

19、grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and Id call that love, and I think that

20、s what makes a relationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the just-right wife for him,definition of what the just-rightwife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,in two different atmospheres,

21、also have their definition of the just-right wife,the German mans definition is different from the Spanish mans.Script:Part IIIA baseball diamond frizzly hair / glasses/ funny/ monologue A wine bar pizzaA fancy-dress party the man dressed as Cheshire CatOutside a cinema coincidence/ hed also missed

He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half a

And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended

26、 up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each others pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order really any pizza on the menu and wed both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together a

He looked for the girl whose heart he

32、knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtf

So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face hed never seen. Ill let Mr Blanchard tell you what

36、happened. A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely f

37、orgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. Going my way, sailor? she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40

38、, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away.I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman wh

In recent studies at two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and
