There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage
is
followed by 5 questions. For each of
them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and
D. You should decide on the best
choice.
Passage 1
In
recent years, large numbers of people are living
the single life, at least
temporarily,
for this reason or other. However, they are often
pressured to marry
by
their
families
and
friends,
who
regard
single
adults
as
irresponsible
and
unfortunate.
Rose
and
Bill
talk
about
the
frustrations
and
disagreements.
Rose
has
quarreled
with her family. Her parents
continually ask her why she
doesn
’
t get married and
have been putting pressure on Rose to
find a husband. This makes Rose angry.
Bill understands how Rose feels. He has also been
upset about how his friends
react to
his single life. His female friends usually find
him dates even if he
doesn’
t
want them. They introduce him to new people as the
eligible bachelor.
Sometimes
Rose
and
Bill
feel
they
might
be
better
off
financially
if
they
each
found
a marriage partner. They know that two
people living together and earning two
salaries can afford more than a single
person can. They also know about the income
tax advantages that married couples
enjoy. However, for the moment, each of them
is committed to remaining single.
Young people feel many pressures
not to get married. Rose has a very good job
at
the
bank
and
there
is
a
possibility
of
a
promotion
in
the
near
future.
A
promotion
means
a higher salary and more responsibility.
She questions whether she can
combine success in business with marriage. How
can
she
fully
and
completely
take
care
of
a
wife
’
s
duties
while
she
can
also
succeed
brilliantly in her office? Both demand
a great amount of time and work.
Bill,
too,
is
hesitant
about
getting
married
because
of
his
active
social
life.
He has many friends
and
is out with one of them
almost every
night. How
can he ever
settle down and
stay home with one person? Will he lose his
friends?
At this point Rose and
Bill are each trying to settle the questions of
whether
