5、eir own wives and husbands. In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the mans family negotiated
6、 a bride price with the womans family; the mans family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the brides family paid a grooms price to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged. What are the criteria for choosing mates? M
7、ost marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love-are based on similar social backgrounds.

9、ame 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 ba
10、sed on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences. Part II - B1. physical appearance; 2. what somebody looks like, ., loo
11、k beyond the physical appearance3. the high percentage of divorces.4. falling love with somebody,. ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages its the physical appear
12、ance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless theres something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find
13、out more about that person, unless thats there I think you just dont bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say unfortunately?Because in fact it shouldnt be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and
14、see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people
15、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 doesnt exist?Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce-its a third I think now, isnt it? I think one in three
16、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 stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you
17、meet someone, you fall in love, and thats it., its the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think thats the problem, because people just expect that, and its not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship going?Well, I think you ha
18、ve 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. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody
19、 I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and Id call
20、 that love, and I think thats what makes a relationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the just-right wife for him,definition of what the just-rightwife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,i
