25、ng it harder for ourselves？It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesnt expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.Bu

26、t perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory，finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago，your choice of soulmate（心上人）was constrained by geograp

27、hy，social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit，many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster（牡蛎），you surely have a bet

28、ter chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint：the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree：good looks，impressive salary，kind to grandmother，and right socks.There is no room for error i

29、n the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isnt，it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course，this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child

34、e The surface of the earth may seem very stable to you.But you might be amazed if you knew some of the things that are going on under that surface.The earth has an outer shell of rigid pieces called tectonic plates（地壳构造板块）。The plates include both ocean floor and dry land.Some have whole continents o

35、n top of them.The continents on top of the plates are just going along for a slow ride，moving only about four inches per year.But even this small movement causes three types of big interactions.One type is ocean ridges.These ridges develop in places where two plates are moving away from each other.A

36、s the plates separate，hot magma（岩浆）flows up to fill the space.New crust（地壳）builds up on the plate boundaries and causes ocean ridges.These ridges form long mountain ranges，which only rise above the ocean surface in a few places.Another type of reaction-trenches-occurs between two plates that are mov

37、ing toward each other.As the plates meet，one bends downward and plunges undemeath the other.This forms deep ocean trenches.The Marianas Trench off Guam in the western Pacific Ocean has a depth of more than 36，000 feet.This is the lowest point on the ocean floor.If the leading edges of the two collid

38、ing plates carry continents，then the layers of rock in the overriding plate crumple（变皱）and fold.A plate that carried what is now lndia collided with the southern edge of the plate that carried Europe and most of Asia.This caused the Himalayas，the worlds highest mountains.The third reaction is transf

39、orm faults（转换断层）。These faults occur where two plates that are traveling in opposite directions slide past each other.Severe earthquakes can occur.The San Andreas Fault in Califomia is a good example of this type of movement.36.The word stable（paragraph 1）means A.a place for horses.B.calm and easygoi

44、ne masts（天线竿），a recent report clains that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them.Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications

45、 tool to become the backbone（支柱）of modern social life，from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher，32，told the researchers：I love my phone.Its my friend.The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers，the report says，who regard their mobiles as an expre

46、ssion of their identity.This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles，especially taxt messaging，are seen as a way of overcoming shyness.Texting is often used for apologies，to excuse lateness or to co

47、mmunicate other things that make us uncomfortable，the report says，The impact of phones，however，has been local rather than global，supporting existing friendships and networks，rather than opening users to a new broader community.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybo

48、dy from another area.Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones，the report claims，will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure（基础设施），providing gains throughout the economy，and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users.The report calls on govemment to pu

49、t more effort into the delivery of services by bobile phone，with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors text messages to remind patients of appointments.I love that idea,one user said in an interview.It would mean I wouldnt have to write a hundred messages to myse

50、lf.There are many other possibilities.At a recent trade fair in Sweden，a mobile navigation product was launched.When the user enters a destination，a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice，pictures and maps as they drive.In future，these devices will also be able to p
