1、Passage 8Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are
encouraged, but not forced, to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave
home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents
do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents
to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young
adults meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious
institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve
of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves.
A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to
choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in
order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father‘s
business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father‘s workplace. This
independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.
Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American
family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and
independence.

1、Passage 19Throughout her working life, a ship — like a motorcar — must be serviced regularly if she
is to remain efficient. After a period at sea she must be overall checked and any necessary repairs
must be made. There are also instances when a ship must be converted from being one kind of
carrier to another. Most of today‘s oil, for example, is carried by huge super-tankers. The smaller
tankers, many of which are still in good condition, can be converted into bulk carriers（散货船）
for the transport of sugar, coal or ore.
Conversion or repair work is carried out in a dry dock, a huge hole cut into the ground and
lined with concrete. At one end are large gates separating the dock from the river or sea. When
these gates are opened, water pours into the dock and fills it. A ship can then enter the dock, where
it is carefully fastened in an upright position.When the ship is positioned inside the dock, the gates are closed and the water is pumped out.
The vessel slowly settles on to wooden blocks. Wooden supporters are put in position between the
ship and the sides of the dock to prevent her from rolling over. Great care is taken to make sure
that the ship rests evenly on the keel（龙骨）blocks to prevent damage being done.
As soon as the ship is firmly positioned, repair or conversion work can begin on her body or
superstructure.
