[主观题]

She was slim and he liked her that way. So he called a lawyer. The result was a contract.

According to the document, the fresh-faced bride agreed to pay a fine for each pound she gained in weight, the money refundable upon its loss. The paper signed, and the wedding went on.

This is a prenuptial (婚前的)agreement—one more indication of the strange pass of marriage in this most transactional decade. You are welcome to marriage, contractual style, where increasingly detailed legal documents spell out everything from who's going to do the dishes to who's going to get the house when you split.

This is family planning taken to extreme. Once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist carrying off the latest young cookie, the prenuptial agreement—a written pact between a couple outlining the financial obligations in the event of divorce—is becoming commonplace in a litigious (爱打官司的),disillusioned and materialistic age in which one in every two marriages is projected to end in divorce.

The only question is: What about love? When asked whether anyone believes in Cupid (爱神)anymore, Dr. Michael Vincent Miller says, "Given a century that is full of sexual liberation, computer-dating services and so on, one feels tempted to reply,' only in a mood of desperate nostalgia (怀旧 )'. ""Pre-nups" (prenuptial agreements)do assume negativity. Founded on disillusionment, they cannot be separated from the high divorce rate in the United States. The result, argues Miller, is a kind of defending mentality. "We've gotten good at managing finiteness, failure and trouble with a sort of 'What' s yours is yours and what's mine is mine's realism'. We've seen it isn't all about love. We've seen there's power politics in there—a fight for control, and when you've got those things, you're halfway to lawyers and money."

In other ways, however, the compacts embody positive, even idealistic thinking about marriage, love and relations, a law scholar Isabel Marcus believes. Marcus says , "Contracts could spell the end of romantic love as salvation. They say love exists, but that it's best accompanied by good, hard thinking about equitability (平等).

By writing a contract, the couple gains control of its marriage. "What's good is it contributes to honesty; what's unfortunate is the idea that any contract can govern your emotions," says the author of the book "The Nature of Love."

The scene described in the first paragraph ______.

A.is a part of a comedy film

B.is something rare

C.is something real and becoming common daily

D.is ridiculous

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to
a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t!” But it is useless to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

1. From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession().

A.sought after by too many

B.too difficult for young people

C.for slim people only

D.one can go into without special training

2.For someone who feels he must act, it is very likely that ().

A.he will become a film star at long last

B.he will become a stage manager

C.he will be well paid

D.he will end up without any success

3.The film producer found Connie when she was() .

A.at work in a bicycle factory

B.driving past him in her car

C.going to a film studio

D.waiting for a bus

4.A few weeks after the test, Connie Pratt found herself ()

A.the most famous actress of the world

B.playing the leading female role in a play

C.as famous as the greatest actor of the world

D.no less famous than the leading actor of the day

5.The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means() .

A.his is something which happens once in a while

B.this is a highly profitable chance

C.his is something highly possible

D.this is a very rare chance
