28、he current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving. As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the

29、 United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context：some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society. What has changed more than marriage is the

30、 nuclear family. Twenty five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes pre

31、vious marriage, or the husbands, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses (配偶 ). Thus, one can find every type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages wi

32、th children from only the present marriage; marriages with “full-time“ children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with “full-time“ children from the present marriage and “part-time“ children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half brothers, and half sister

33、s. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.

38、ctions of marriage remain unchanged （ B） the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriage （ C） most Americans prefer a second marriage （ D） all of the above 36 Its so difficult to follow the ups and downs of a 2-year-old One moment hes beaming and friendly; the next hes sullen (愠怒的 ) and

39、weepy, often for no apparent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body. At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventur

40、e. As a result, hell spend most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environments. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him. When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back

41、 he often reacts with anger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气 ) or sullen rage. He may even strike back by hitting, biting or kicking. At this age, he doesnt have much control over his emotional impulses, so his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying,

42、hitting or screaming. Its his only way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. Its all part of being 2. Its not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when youre not around, because they dont trust other people enough to t

43、est their limits. But with you, your toddler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows youll rescue him if he gets into trouble. Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when

44、 youre about to leave him with a sitter, he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation of the separation. Or he may whimper, or whine and cling to you. or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic is

45、 to reassure him before you leave that you will be back and, when you return, to praise him for being so patient while you were gone.
