In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes”.To understand the p

roblem, one must remember that modern American woman is freed.During childhood and youth, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s.After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself.She doesn’t have to marry for financial security.She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person.She wants a husband whom she can respect.She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions.When a husband and wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying.Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.

When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money.If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.

Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry.The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen.A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our children!”

Questionsare based on the following passage.

In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage.But many arebecoming needless.Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night droppedfrom 22% to 14%.This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space.Butit is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert.

Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number ofvehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%.Instead, garages now solve a different set ofproblems.

Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessaryand unwanted things.Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire.Also, some young people unableor unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage.In addition, a garage may be rentedto young folks fond of music.It is, more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.

However, many publicly owned garages lie empty.Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney

council, around 40% are free.Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve O"Connell, a councilor at the London Assembly.He thinks they could be turned into small offices.That has already happened in places such as Berlin.

Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London.Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice.A recent proposal to turn some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councillors feared that local residents would not approve.Getting planning permission can be complex,

and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems.Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.

In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for velficles in that__________. 查看材料

A.the number of vehicles in the garages being stolen decreases by 76%

B.big modern vehicles are covered with rust when placed in the garages

C.big modem vehicles do not suit older garages

D.some families have more garages than vehicles

The U.S. generates about four billion tons of solid waste a year. More than 90 percent is
composed of agricultural and mining wastes. About 3 percent is from industrial wastes. 250 million tons of garbage and refuse come out from homes, schools, office buildings, stores and hospitals.

This mass of metals, paper, food, plastic, rubber and glass which is all mixed together seems of no earthly use to anyone.

Or is it? Scattered efforts across the country indicate that new technology, properly applied, might someday turn these millions of tons of refuse into an excellent source of raw materials for new uses.

Several new projects are carried out to study the possibility of treating wastes through pyrolysis (高温分解)--a system of reducing refuse to basic chemicals, liquids and gases which have commercial value. In Florida, a special tube system provides automatic transport of refuse to a central collection building.

In short, many new ideas are being tested, and many will be needed, since no one method is likely to prove suitable everywhere.

However, many difficult economic and social questions must be answered before real progress can be made. Can recovered materials compete with new materials? What will be needed as encouragement to make resource recovery work? Will citizens pay the costs of changing our waste system?

The article suggests that garbage and refuse from homes and public places ______.

A.make up the largest percentage of solid wastes

B.make up a small percentage of solid wastes

C.are not really considered in the solid waste problem

D.are considered of no use to the earth

For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seems to be slipping out of re
ach:

"Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did," says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. "But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house."

The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience. "I learned how to build my house from reading books." says John Brown, who built a six-room home for $25,000 in

High Falls, New Jersey. "If you have patience and the carpentry skill to make a bookcase, you can build a house."

An astonishing 50 percent of these owner-builders hammer every nail, lay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract for some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.

One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

What is the main subject of the passage?

A.The cost of having a house built.

B.The American dream of owning a house.

C.A description of owner-builder in America.

D.A comparison between young couples and their parents.
