We have spoken of marriage as a formal contract.It should be noted, however, that this contract does not 1 the same form in different societies.In Western societies, the 2 of a man and a woman 3 given the status of legal marriage by being registered by an official 4 by the state.In some African so cieties, 5 , marriage has nothing to do 6 an official registration of this kind but is legalized by the formal 7 of goods.Generally 8 is the bridegroom who is required to make a 9 of goods to the bride's kin(亲戚), though sometimes a payment is 10 made by the bridegroom's kin to that of the bride.
Among the Nuer, a 11 living in Southern Sudan, the payment made to the bride's kin, 12 as bridewealth, is in the 13 of cattle.Once the 14 of bridewealth is agreed 15 , and the formal payment is made, the marriage becomes a 16 union and the offspring of the union become the acceptable 17 of the husband.They remain 18 children even 19 the wife subsequently leaves him to live with 20 man。

Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes.They are left in the 1 of strangers for the rest of their lives.Their 2 children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 3 visitors.The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth-an 4 story.In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care 5 elderly people need.Samuel Prestoon, a sociologist, studied 6 the American family is changing.He reported that by the time the 7 American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. 8 , because people today live longer after an illness than people did years 9 , family members must provide long term care.More psychologists have found that all caregivers 10 a common characteristic: All caregivers believe that they are the best 11 for the job.In other words, they all felt that they 12 do the job better than anyone else.Social workers 13 caregivers to find out why they took 14 the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative.Many caregivers believed they had 15 to help their relative.Some stated that helping others 16 them feel more useful.Others hoped that by helping 17 now, they would deserve care when they became old and 18 .Caring for the elderlyand being taken care of can be a 19 satisfying experience for everyone who might be 20 .

Engagement, wedding, and birth of a baby are the three steps of a new family. The Danes’ special ways of doing these things inform their native culture.
People in other places of the world usually give their lovers a finger ring or a bundle of flowers as a gift of engagement. 36 in some areas of Denmark, it is still considered 37
for a young man to 38 his fiancée with the wooden clappers once used to 39 clothes
40 in a stream. These clappers were engraved with love-poems, and 41 tradition, they ensured good fortune and happiness.
And their country weddings also show a tint of local convention(传统). Until recently, a Danish country wedding was an event which 42 all who lived in the surrounding 43 . Everyone was tacitly(不言而喻地) invited to celebrate with the young couple. Preparations for the wedding lasted for many days but were made 44 , because to show happiness openly 45
arouse the anger and jealousy of evil spirits.
46 the wedding morning the couple met in the courtyard of the bride’s house. The relatives and friend presented themselves to the couple, bowed and placed gifts at their feet. Every gift was 47 by good wishes recited in prose(散文) or in verse; 48 modest the gift the more elaborate(精致的) the wishes had to be. 49 who had neither the means to give 50
the imagination to make a speech were, as a sign of their goodwill, placed 51 guard over the presents and, in the evening, over the couple’s bed.
52 the conclusion of the ceremony a large jar of beer was taken to the courtyard. The hands of the betrothed(已订婚的) were joined over the jar and it was 53 into fragments(碎片). These pieces were picked 54 by the girls of marriageable age who were present, the girl with the largest 55 being destined to marry first.

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn't long to 1 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.
“Frank！” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t 2 , as I knew, but all the time 3 his foot against mine.
My 4 raced back more than thirty years to the 5 days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The 6 was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.
7 wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to 8 each other very well. Frank West 9 me because he wasn’t 10 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had 11 of a mind than a baby has. His “ 12 ” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and 13 more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank 14 on her entirely. He needed all the 15 of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She 16 nearly everything she owned.
When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the 17 ones. So before we 18 that morning, I stood beside Frank and 19 my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his 20 to me was always the same.

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her 1 mother with whispered desperation（绝望）, “ 2 a miracle（奇迹） can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 3 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 4 her way six blocks to the local drugstore（药店）.
“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.
“It’s 5 my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 6 . His name is Andrew and he has something 7 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”
“We don’t 8 miracles here, chilD．I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling 9 at the little girl.

“I don’t know,” she replieD．“He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 12 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 13 .”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.

“Well, what a coincidence（巧合）,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents — the 15 price of a miracle for little brothers. 16 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 17 your parents.”
That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon（外科医生）. The operation was completed without 18 and it wasn’t long before Andrew was 19 again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 20 of a little child.

A newly trained teacher named Mary went to teach at a Navajo Indian reservation. Every day, she would ask five of the young Navajo students to __1__ the chalkboard and complete a simple math problem from 2 homework.

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _31_ had such a big influence _32_ a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, _33_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _34_ to express my own opinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _35_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about _36_ itself. There are so many things around us that _37_ our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _38_ it or not . What we can do is just to make _39_ suit the world. I think we should learn to accept _40_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to _41_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by（流逝）and leave you _42_ regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _43_ such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, _44_ it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own _45_ towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

But Katy shouted, laughing and 5 to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and 6 her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't 7 and get hurt.
After that happened, I 8 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.
Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King. 9 ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨无霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost 10 .

Money, or the lack of it, changes everything, and that includes how people will be working out in 2010.
In these belt-tightening times 1 , cost-conscious workouts（锻炼）at home and at the gym topped the list of fitness trends for this year in a survey, followed 2 by shorter, more time-efficient regimens, such as 3 boot camp（强力集中训练） and circuit training.
"People are looking 4 for ways to accomplish as much as possible with as little 5 time and money as necessary," said Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which conducted the online poll of fitness professionals.
"Last year money was on the list but this 6 year the majority of the respondents put 7 it as one of the top," he added.
Bryant said some 600 ACE-certified fitness 8 professionals responded to the annual poll 9 , which the non-profit organization has been conducting for a decade.
Other money-saving measures 10 , such as the shift from personal training sessions to small group training 11 classes and in-home workouts 12 using smaller, more portable equipment, also made the list.
"Personal trainers are seeing they've got to respond to market needs 13 . Working with two to four clients at a 14 time they can charge less 15 but still get their hourly fee," Bryant said.
Boot-camp workouts and circuit training, both of which burn 16 calories while building strength and endurance（持久性）, will be among the most popular trends in 2010, as time-constrained（受压制的） consumers 17 seek shorter, more intense activities.
One bright spot is the rise of exergaming-type systems, like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Wii Fit and the PC-based Dancetown. Bryant says the fitness-based video games are turning up 18 in health clubs and senior centers.
Functional training workouts, which are geared to improving the quality of life and the ability to perform everyday tasks, will remain strong 19 , and the use of computerized tracking and online training and scheduling tools will increase 20 in the coming year.
