听力原文： Most young married couples in the United States share their duties and responsibilities both inside and outside the home. The reason for this is that they both usually have a job. Most of the young married people have to work in order to plan for their future years. For example, some people might plan for a comfortable home, some others may plan for a family and their children's education, and still some others may generally want to save for a better living.
Since a woman helps financially, a man feels that he should help his wife in the home. He may help her with the cleaning by lifting heavy furniture. Also, he may often wash and dry the dinner dishes, because his wife has to take care of the children. This usually surprises people of other cultures, because they consider it beneath the dignity of a man to help his wife, or in other words, a man shouldn't do a woman's job. In American life, however, this is just another way of showing the respect that men and women have for each other.

Today, however, many America women like to use Ms better than Mrs. and Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us if a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know if they are married or not.
There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like to use Ms. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. But young women usually like it better than older ones do. Perhaps Ms will be used by more American women before long.

Getting married can be as simple as a five-minute ceremony performed by a judge in a law office. Or it can be a traditional religious ceremony at home, or in a church.
The average age of an American woman being married for the first time is about twenty-four years. The average age for a man is twenty-five. Most young men and women get engaged about a year before the wedding.
In the Nineteen-Sixties and Seventies, many young Americans decided not to have traditional, formal weddings. Many brides and grooms wrote their own wedding ceremonies. These often included poetry and personal statements about their goals in marriage. Some grooms wore old blue jeans to their weddings. More than a few brides were married in their bare feet. It was not unusual to be married on a sandy beach or on a mountainside.
In the last ten years, however, big formal weddings have become popular again. Experts say the average size of formal weddings now is two-hundred guests. Most formal wedding patties are held at hotels or high-priced eating places. There are fresh flowers and paid photographers. Musicians play for dancing, and hired servants present the wedding dinner.
A big wedding takes months to plan, and it can cost thousands of dollars.
