Here is a passage about how to excel in the art of domestic argument. Supply the missing words while listening. Tapescript: Having been married for more than 40 years, I can attest to the truth of the following statement: To excel in the art of domestic argument, one must master the art of losing. Modern psychologists are taken with the \in marriage, success resides more in \solutions. Out of these, both parties can win. For in the love configuration, losing gives a gift that always returns. The issues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spend money, often aren't the real ones. The key issue is: Who is going to be in control? When I was younger, my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity. The day I finally realized I didn't need to control my wife梩hat, indeed, I ought not to control her, that I couldn't control her, and that if I tried to, I would destroy our marriage ?was the day our marriage began.

What is it we want most from a marriage? To love and be loved. To be happy and secure.

To grow to discover. A love relationship is the gar-den in which we plant, cultivate and harvest the most precious of crops, our own self, and in which our spouse is provided the same rich soil in which to bloom. Part JJ We cannot obtain what we want unless our partner also gets what he or she wants. So remember; if you want to feel loved and respected, give up control. All you need is love? Key words:

social backgrounds race ethnic religion Vocabulary: pre-industrial / propose / criterion

You are going to hear a report on how people in different parts of the world choose their mates. A1 Before listening, think about some of the qualities you would look for in a mate. A2 As you listen, try to write down the three main criteria people usually maintain for choosing a mate. 1: Having similar social backgrounds. 2: Having the same race or same ethnic background. 3: Having the same religion. A3 Listen again. Answer the questions. Why does the speaker say that some of the past practices related to marriage customs are weakening? Japan / 9. 2% / arranged marriages Why does the speaker say that the races are still largely separate in marriage in the U. S. ? 3% / between blacks and whites Tapescript; Many people in Western cultures choose their own wives and hus-bands. In many other cultures, spouses are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20 th century) , upper-class mar-riages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a \with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a\groom's price\the family of the man. These customs are weakening; for instance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged. What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages梬hether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love梐re based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slightly lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose mar-riage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward. Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U. S. , where there are many different races, only 3

percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage. In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In cultures in which religion is a very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences. Key words: physical appearance fall in love loving somebody Vocabulary: sustain / differentiate Barbara Cartland Listen to a dialogue that discusses personal and family relationships. Complete the following main ideas expressed by the second speaker. Unfortunately, perhaps in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. In fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is. In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love is always emphasized. ?In fact I think we can proba-bly lay there the blame for the high percentage of divorces. I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Tapescript; A: What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together? B: I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them梚t could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction 1 think is all-important. A: Why do you say\ B: Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is im-portant. You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they're selfish or selfless, whether they're kind, caring. But I think initially you're not bothered with that. That comes perhaps later. A: In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love is always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist? B: Yes I do, in fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorces梚t's a third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stories, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young peo-ple read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it, it's the beginning, they live happily ever after. And I think that's
