Separation may Help Improve Marriage
Marriage is big lately；actually it's unmarriage that seems to be capturing our attention.From the award-winning American Beauty to the Bruce Willis-Michelle Pfeiffer movie,The story of Us,the institution of marriage is being turned inside out,and it's not a pretty sight.To judge by these films,modern marriage involves a lot of broken crockery and busted expactations.While many current Hollywood depictions of marriage may be overly pessimistic, statistics in America are alarming:each year half as many Americans get divorced as marry.
Marriage counselors say couples often choose to separate as a last-ditch effort to change their relationship and possibly themselves.“Many trial separations don't work because they're not‘authentic'.They're just one person's way of getting out of the relationship,” says Harriet Lerner,author of the book The Dance of Anger.But a separation can give couples time to calm down,renegotiate the rules of the relationship and gain some needed distance.
For a separation to work,it needs to be well defined.Constance Ahrons,directors of the Marriage and Family Therapy Training program at the University of Southern California, says“structured separations”tend to be the most productive.Couples facing separation do best if they establish some basic ground rules first.They should mutually agree on the length of the separation一Ahrons says three to six months is average一and both must continue to work on their own problems during that time,either with or without a counselor.
Couples should agree not to see lawyers during their separation.Lawyers have a way of moving marriage toward divorce.During their period of trial separation,couples should not pursue each other at all,either to fight or to reconcile,but should agree in advance on what kind of contact they will have.Separated couples can agree to speak on the phone for a prearranged period,for instance,or meet once a week.Some therapists advise their clients to agree not to talk to each other about their relationship during these encounters and to use the time apart to reflect on their own lives and see what they can change about themselves.If there are children involved,Ahrons says,both parties need to agree on all the ground rules having to do with kids.Parents should also be aware that repeated separations and reconciliations are difficult and confusing for children.
Ahrons says a separation,while painful,can help keep the anger down and give a couple time to think.If both are unsure about the future of the marriage,it can provide a time-out, during which they can see what life would be like without the other.“Sometimes”,Ahrons says,“a separation can lead back into marriage.Sometimes it leads to divorce.But if couples are able to clarify things,it will improve their marriage一or,make their divorce better.”

We can infer from the passage that______.
A:separation can both cause pain for the couple and help keep the anger down
B:separation is helpful for the couple to be clear about their relationship
C:no one wants to try separation before he or she get divorced according to the author
D:modern marriage usually involves lots of quarrels and reconciliation

参考答案

参考解析
解析：题干意为“本文最佳的标题是什么？”通读全文，不难发现separation (分居）一词在短文中反复出现，是短文主题词，由此判断答案应为B或D，因为这两项都提到了分居 (divided)。从全文来看，短文主要是围绕如何分居能给婚姻带来最大的益处而写的，因此答案为D项“分居了我们才能成功”。短文标题改写自历史名言“United we stand, divided we fall/团结我们会胜利，分裂我们会失败。”
题干意为“第一段中的第一句最可能的含义是什么？”第一段的第一句：Marriage is big lately； actually it's unmarriage that seems to be capturing our attention．这个句子中最难理解的单词是big，很显然big在句中不是其常用词义（大的，重要的，量大的，重要 的）。因此要理解该词在句中的意义就需要借助上下文。该句接下来的句子提到“从获奖的 《美国丽人》到布鲁斯·威利斯与米歇尔.法伊拂联袂演出的电影《我们的故事》，婚姻制度正日益成为人们批驳的对象，婚姻失去了往日的光环。”该段结尾部分提到“美国的统计数字令人 震惊：美国每年的离婚人口数量几乎等于结婚人口的一半。”依据上下文的意义，再结合第一句字面意义（现在婚姻……，但实际上不结婚似乎正吸引人们的注意力）不难判断出答案为C 项“现在结婚很受欢迎，但是不结婚似乎更能引起人们的注意”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项不是夫妻分居能够带来的好处？”利用题干及四个备选项中的细节信息词/短语advantages of separation, relationship, couple, time, regulations, certain necessary distance作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句：Marriage counselors say couples often choose to separate as a last-ditch effort to change their relationship and possibly themselves,“Many trial separations don't work because they're not‘authentic'. They're just one person's way of getting out of the relationship,”says Harriet Lerner,author of the book The Dance of Anger. But a separation can give couples time to calm down, renegotiate the rules (regulations 的近义词) of the relationship and gain some needed dis-tance.由最后一句可知“分居的确能让夫妻双方有时间静心思考（与选项B说法一致），重新商讨双方的关系规则（与选项C说法一致），使双方保持必要的距离（与选项D说法一致）”，因此答案为A项“脱离夫妻关系”。
题干意为“从短文中可以推断出什么？”依据最后一段第二句：If both are unsure about the future of the marriage,it can provide a time-out,during which they can see what life would be like without the other．可知“如果双方在婚姻方面都无法把握未来，分居可以为他们提供一段间歇期，使他们弄清楚没有对方的生活会是什么样子。”由此可以推断出分居能帮助夫妻双方弄清楚他们之间的关系，所以答案为B。

考题 共用题干 Improve Your MemoryTo many people advancing age means losing your hair,your waistline and your memory.But is it an inescapable fact that the older you get,the less you remember? Well,as time goes by,we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.When a teenager can't find her keys,she thinks it's because she's distracted or disorganized, but a 70-year-old blames her memory. In fact,the 70-year-old may have been misplacing things for decades一like we all do from time to time.In healthy people,memory doesn't deteriorate as quickly as many of us think. According to psychologists,as we age,our memory mechanism isn't broken,it's just different.The brain's processing time slows down over the years,though no one knows exactly why.Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and that there's less activity in the part of the brain that decides whether to store information or not.But it's not clear that less activity is worse.A beginning athlete is winded. more easily than a trained athlete.In the same way,as the brain gets more skilled at a task,it spends less energy on it.There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape.It's like having a good body. You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.Some memory enhancement experts suggest using the AM principle.Pay attention to what you want to remember. Then give some meaning to it. We remember things when we focus on them, whether we intend to or not. That helps explain why jingles stick in our minds.They are played on loud,flashy TV commercials.They also use rhyme and music to help us remember better.Basic organization helps us remember the boring stuff. For example,rather than trying to recall a random list of groceries,we can divide them into categories,such as dairy,meat and produce. For important things like keys and money,we can set up a"forget-me-not"spot where we always keep them.We can also eat to aid our memory power. Whole grains,fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of glucose,the brain's preferred fuel. Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest. Sleep may allow our brain time to encode memories.Interest in friends,family and hobbies does wonders for our memory.A sense of passion or purpose helps us remember. Memory requires us to pay attention to our lives,allowing us to discover in them everything worth remembering.As we get older, our memory mechanism is broken,and so cannot be the same as it was before.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

考题 共用题干 The Need to RememberSome people say they have no memory at all:"I just can't remember a thing!"But of course we all have a memory.Our memory tells us who we are.Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory.For example,our visual memory helps us recall facts and places.Some people have such a strong visual memory that they can remember exactly what they have seen,for example,pages of a book,as a complete picture.Our verbal（言语的）memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written:Items of a shopping list,a chemical formula,dates,or a recipe.With our emotional（情感的）memory, we recall situations or places where we had; strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell,taste, touch and sound,and for performing physical movements.We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial.Our long-term mem-ory,on the other hand,may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much biter long-term memory than short-term .They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago,but have the clearest remembrance（记忆）of when they were very young.Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past,and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story.We then make up the details. We of-ten do this in the way we want to remember them,usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past , or maybe victims needing sympathy（同情）.

考题 问答题The On-going Debate over Healthcare Reform　　It seems that the government’s so-called Blue Ribbon Commission has already decided what plan it will propose without undertaking any public consultation and is now merely engaged in a PR campaign to convince us they have the answer.　　This seems a little head over heels to us. Since it is our money and our health that is in question, shouldn’t we have been consulted at the break about which way we want to go?　　There are several models to achieve healthcare reform, and not all of them require us to hand more money over to keep government bureaucrats in big offices. Purely private healthcare may have big problems—but so does the socialised medicine the commission is recommending.　　For example, Canada’s universal system of socialised medicine is now busily engaged in transferring costs from the public to the private sector… by reducing covered expenses, by de-insuring some expenses and so on.　　Medical authorities are on record as saying that in an effort to manage costs, hospital stays are being shortened (or even dispensed with altogether).　　So while we in the Bahamas are citing universal ‘free’ health care as the answer to our problems, in Canada there is an uncoordinated scramble by the public system to reduce and offload the effects of rising health care costs. And we won’t even mention the litany of complaints from users who have to wait for poor service.　　But what mostly concerns us about the Blue Ribbon Commission is that they have plumped for social health insurance without determining the cost of their recommended programmer, or of the alternatives.　　And they do not seem to have taken into account the impact this plan will have on the fiscal deficit or on our individual pockets. Apparently, the position is that whatever the cost, this is the plan that will be presented to parliament.　　An initiative so far-reaching and so potentially damaging to our economy, should require more careful assessment of the alternatives in public. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. And we do not believe that a small group of consultants constitutes ‘the public’.

考题 问答题Working Together Against the Infectious Diseases　　There is another area that really may sound like it’s outside the range of politics and Iraqi people where we’re cooperating together, but it’s an area that is vital to the well-being of the Chinese people, the American people, the people in the world, and it’s now we’re working together to deal with the dangers inherent in infectious diseases.　　China’s sobering experience with SARS stands as a lesson to all countries on the challenge of infectious diseases. I have called HIV/AIDS the world’s greatest weapon of mass destruction today. It threatens to kill tens of millions of men, women and children—in the Caribbean, in Latin America, in the subcontinent, especially in Africa—and yes, it is a danger to China as well.　　And China’s government is facing up to this crisis, working with us. The United States has told China we are ready to help. Last month, our Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson spoke in China of President Bush’s interest in furthering our practical cooperation on HIV/AIDS and other health issues. Specialists from our Centers for Disease Control are working on the ground with their Chinese counterparts. Our National Institute of Health has granted $14.8 million to help China upgrade its health care infrastructure.　　My friends, it is upon such concrete forms of cooperation on issues of regional and global importance that a 21st century US-China relationship will be built, issue by issue, experience by experience, challenge by challenge, initiative by initiative, program by program.　　As China participates more actively in world affairs, we will extend our welcome. Building and sustaining a healthy overall relationship is good for America, it is good for China, it is good for the region, and good for the international community.
