More surprising,perhaps,than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and increasing.As Skolnick notes,Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans,more of us marry at younger age.Moreover,after falling in the early 1970s,the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing.Even the divorce rates need to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry.Thus,marriage remains,by far,the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife's previous marriage,or the husband's,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.
Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.
1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that__________.
A.Americans are more traditional than Europeans
B.Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans
C.there are more married couples in the USA than in Europe
D.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age
2.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's Ame

A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct(不同的) species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列)from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants' significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. Since 1950, all African el

“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a selfdescribed Chinese descent(血统)on her superstrict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.
Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent.In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her booa writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleepover，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own afterclass activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7yearold daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.
Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.
Stacy DeBroff，who has written four boot parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.S
