not that oppositesattract each other but that like attracts like.People fall in love with otherswho share their interests and tastes and whose personalities are similar.Hillz Rubin,and Peplau found only slight support for this view.On a greatmany characteristicsz couples were not alike.On othersz couples were onlysomewhat alike.Couples did tend to be about the same agez to be equallygood-looking,to have similar IQ scoresz to be of the same religion,andto want the same number of children.But on each of these things,quite afew couples differed from one another.In fact,on only one question did mostagree on.whether they were nin love.The early interviews failed to find that being alike was very importantin bringing couples together.The follow-up interviews found that similaritieswere much more important in keeping couples together.Those who were togetherafter two years were much more closely matched than couples who broke up,especially in terms of age,IQZ college plans,and looks.Thusz couples weremuch more likely to break up if one person was a lot smarter,better looking,or older.It is easy to imagine why these differences would matter.If oneperson is much smarter or more mature than the other,this could cause conflicts.If one person is much better looking,he or she will have more chances forother relationships.Yet other things that would seem as important turned out not to matter.Those who stayed together differed not at all from those who broke up in howalike they were on religion,sex role ideas,beliefs about sex,idealism,or the number of children they wanted.Surely,one might suppose that markeddifferences in sex role attitudes could cause friction or that religiousdifferences might lead to breakups.But there was no evidence of this.In fact,conflict was not one of the main reasons people gave for breakingu p.Most said they broke up because they got bored with the other person.Often this caused one of the pair to become interested in someone else,thusprompting（促进）the split（分裂）.Perhaps surprisingly,the woman got involvedwith someone else far more often than the m a n.Also,women were much morelikely to suggest a breakup than men,regardless of the grounds.However,people were more likely to remain friends after the breakup if the man askedfor the split.This suggests that the male ego is more sensitive to rejection.16、In a marriage,conflicts are often caused by the diversity of intelligence.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned17 Similarities within couples were most important in keeping couplestogether.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not

breakups.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned20、Most people hold the view not that opposites attract each other but thatlike attracts like.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned21、If a couple divorce without much

credit ratings.Many donot have steady incomes.They might have difficulty borrowing money from anagency in business to make loans.Parents or relatives are usually their bestsource of loans.Of course,the parents or relatives would have to have moneyavailable and be willing to lend i t.You might even get an interest-free loan.However,a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest asany other lender.There are disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives.One isthat they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time.Asa result,you might let the loan drag on.This is especially true if you arenot required to pay interest.This is not a way to develop good credit habits.For most consumers z the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank.Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months orup to 30.Most banks also make single payment loans to consumers for shortperiods 30,60,or 90 days.The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply bywriting a check.It is usually called something like H ready credit1 1 or n reservedchecking.It works like this.A depositor is given a limited amount of credit,usually between$500 and$1,000.He or she may write checks up to the amountallowed.Once a check has been written,the amount of the check becomes aloan.Usually no charge is made for interest（利息）until the loan is made.A typical interest rate is 3 cents per$100 per day,or just under 1 percenta month.Suppose that you used$100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days.The cost would be 90 cents.If you repaid it in 10 daysz the cost would beonly 30 cents.The advantage of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lowerrates than most other lenders.One reason is that banks have more strict creditrequirements than most other lenders.A consumer must have a fairly good creditrating to get a bank loan.31 Which of the following is NOT true?A.The newest type of bank loan is simple to g e t.B.Bank loans are more difficult to g e t.C.Banks charge higher interest rates.D.Banks offer loans to those having a fairly good credit rating.32、One of the disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives is thatA.parents or relatives will ask the young people to pay back soon.B.it will not help young people to develop a good credit habit.C.they always charge interest.D.they always charge higher rates than other lenders.33、Most commercial banks offer34、A.installment loans that may run from 12 toB.installment loans that may run from 30 toC.single-payment loans that may run

fun are especiallypopular with college students,who like to explore the country on wheels.These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free timebut little money.Ever since I went to collegez 11 ve been traveling around a lot z exploringthe country,1 1 said Austin Hawkinsz a 19-year-old college student from NewYork.This summer,Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling inNew England.The best part about car trips z said Hawkins,is that you can be spontaneous（自发的）.On a road trip,if you get interested in things you see along theway you can stop and explore.HMatt Roberts z a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal,Canada,agrees.With road trips you d o n11 have to plan in advance,you can just getinto a car and drive.HEven with high gas prices,driving with friends is cheaper than flying.Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gasz but a round trip plane ticket wouldhave cost nearly 400 dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s.Newly paved roads andimproved cars made it possible to travel longer distances.Motels startedappearing outside cities.By the 1950s z car ownership became the norm.Construction of the US interstatehighway systembegan in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywheremaking long distance trips easier.Today,the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world.Only 8 percentof American homes have no car,according to the most recent US census.Though many college students don*t own a car,most have access to o n e.On many of Hawkins*trips,they used a borrowed v a n.Hawkins*most memorable road trip took place over spring break.He andtwo friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer,helping rebuildthe city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July.They crossed the countryin two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.Roberts*road trip to Canada last winter was evenmore eventful.Upon arrivingin Montreal,they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the 250 cold.To find their hotel,they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles untilthey found a spot with wireless Internet coverage.I know we should have planned better,but we*re young.Now,when I seethose guys I always say.*Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!*1111never forget that.n36、The word blizzard in paragraph 12 can be replaced

were made.39、Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins 1 trip to New Orlends?A.Eventful.B.Colourful.C.Delightful.D.Unforgettable.4 0、Which of the following statements is NOT true of American college students?A.They have little money.B.They like traveling bybike.C.They like to explore the country.D.They often have plentyof free time.The Operation of International AirlinesInternational airlines have rediscovered（重新发现）the business traveler,the man or woman who regularly j ets from country to country as part of thejob.This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their businesstravelers.Instead,companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would right arguethat they have always catered best for the executive class passengers.Butmany airlines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recentpast on attracting passengers by volumez often at the expense of the regulartraveler.Too often,they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality.Operating a major airline is essentially a matter of finding the rightmix of passengers.The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodiedjets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end shouldbe filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets.It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies（破产）wereamong the companies specializing in cheap flights.But low fares requireconsistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable,and in therecent recession the volume of traffic has not grown.Equally the large numberof airlines jostling for the available passengers has created a huge excessof capacity.The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition（卡脖子竞争）driving down fares had been to push some airlines into collapseand leave many others hovering on the brink.Against this grim（严酷）background,it is no surprise that airlines areturning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their ratesof return.They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly whatthe executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.High on the list of priorities is punctuality；an executive*s time is money.In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for theexecutive*s attention.The free drinks and headsets and better food are allpart of the lure.Another development has been the accent of seating arrangements.Regulartravelers have become well versed in the debate about seat pitch the amountof room between each passenger.And first-class passengers are now offeredsleeperette seats,which,for long journeys,make it possible to snatch aproper night1 s sleep.Sleeperettes have proved so popular that they will soonbecome universal in the front end of most aircraft.The airlines
