26、ent countries it has different meanings. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every Britis
27、h marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man and woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will b

Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are the
29、ir own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragem
30、ent to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different to
31、day. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted
38、 brothers as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound.

47、remely to human survival.

49、 fishing or servicing that industryuntil the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people out of work.Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict between jobs and the environment, the restoration of fish populations would in fact boost employment.
