Till
Children Do Us Part
Olympia, Wash
HALF
a
century
ago,
the
conventional
wisdom
was
that
having
a child was the
surest way to build a happy marriage.
Women
’
s
magazines
of
that
era
promised
that
almost
any
marital
problem
could be resolved by embarking on
parenthood. Once a child
arrives,
“
we
don
’
t
worry
about
this
couple
any
more,
”
an
editor
at
Better
Homes
and
Gardens
enthused
in
1944.
“
There
are
three
in that family now.
... Perhaps there is not much more needed
in a recipe for
happiness.
”
Over the past two decades, however,
many researchers have
concluded that
three
’
s a crowd when it es
to marital
satisfaction. More than 25
separate studies have established
that
marital quality drops, often quite steeply, after
the
transition
to
parenthood.
And
forget
the
“
empty
nest
”
syndrome:
when the children leave home, couples
report an increase in
marital
happiness.
But does
the arrival of children doom couples to a less
satisfying marriage? Not necessarily.
Two researchers at the
University
of
California
at
Berkeley,
Philip
and
Carolyn
Cowan,
report in a forthing
briefing paper for the Council on
Contemporary Families that most studies
finding a large drop
in marital quality
after childbirth do not consider the very
different routes that couples travel
toward parenthood.
Some couples plan the conception and discuss how
they want
to conduct their relationship
after the baby is born. Others
disagree
about whether or when to conceive, with one
partner
giving
in
for
the
sake
of
the
relationship.
And
sometimes,
both
partners are ambivalent.
The Cowans found that the average
drop in marital
satisfaction
was
almost
entirely
aounted
for
by
the
couples
who
slid
into being parents, disagreed over it or were
ambivalent
about it. Couples who
planned or equally weled the conception
were likely to maintain or even
increase their marital
satisfaction
after the child was born. Marital quality also
tends to decline when parents backslide
into more traditional
gender
roles.
Once
a
child
arrives,
lack
of
paid
parental
leave
often leads the wife to quit her job
and the husband to work
more.
This
produces
discontent
on
both
sides.
The
wife
resents
her
husband
’
s
lack
of
involvement
in
child
care
and
housework.
The
husband
resents
his
wife
’
s
ingratitude
for
the
long
hours
he works to support the family.
When the Cowans
designed programs to help couples resolve
these
differences,
they
had
fewer
conflicts
and
higher
marital
quality.
And
the
children
did
better
socially
and
academically
because their parents were happier.
But keeping a
marriage vibrant is a never-ending job.
Deciding
together
to
have
a
child
and
sharing
in
child-rearing
do not immunize a marriage. Indeed,
collaborative couples can
face
other
problems.
They
often
embark
on
such
an
intense
style
of
parenting that they end up paying less attention
to each
other.
Parents
today
spend
much
more
time
with
their
children
than
they did 40 years ago. The sociologists
Suzanne Bianchi, John
Robinson
and
Melissa
Milkie
report
that
married
mothers
in
2000
spent 20 percent more time with their
children than in 1965.
Married fathers
spent more than twice as much time.
A study by John Sandberg and Sandra
Hofferth at the
University of Michigan
showed that by 1997 children in
two-
parent
families
were
getting
six
more
hours
a
week
with
Mom
and four
more hours
with
Dad than
in 1981.
And these
increases
ourred even as more mothers entered the
labor force.
Couples
found some of these extra hours by cutting back on
time spent in activities where children
were not present
—
when
they
were
alone
as
a
couple,
visiting
with
friends
and
kin,
or involved in clubs.
But in the long run, shortchanging such
adult-oriented activities for the sake
of the children is not
good
for
a
marriage.
Indeed,
the
researcher
Ellen
Galinsky
has
found
that
most
children
don
’
t
want
to
spend
as
much
time
with
their parents as
parents assume; they just want their parents
to be more relaxed when they are
together.
Couples
need time alone to renew their relationship. They
also need to sustain supportive works
of friends and family.
Couples who
don
’
t, investing too much in
their children and
not enough in their
marriage, may find that when the demands
of child-rearing cease to organize
their lives, they cannot
recover the
relationship that made them want to have children
together in the first place.
As the psychologist
Joshua Coleman suggests, the airline
warning to put on your own oxygen mask
before you place one on
your child also
holds true for marriage. ---- From New York
Times
What
’
s the goal of our work,
and study, for wealth, honor
or
others
things?
In
my
opinion,
the
sense
of
happiness
is our
final pursute and our
inner necessity. We study to get good
grades and enter the university. This
gives us endless
happiness and sense of
achievement not honor or money, but we
still feel happy and satisfied.
In some situations,
people don
’
t get wealth or
fame from
our achievement after great
efforts. The writing of Hong Lou
Meng
is
Cao
Xueqin
’
s
inner
necessity.
He
wrote
it
from
his
inner
heart
not
for
wealth
or
fame.
Under
the severe pressure
of the
Qing Dynasty, He knew
clearly that the book
couldn
’
t get him
wealth or fame but probably bring him
disaster. But he still
finished it
......
Of
course,
many
people
got
not
only
sense
of
achievement
but
also honor and money by doing something
good for society and
other people. For
example, Edison got wealth and great honor
from
the
creation
of
the
bulb
light.
So
did
Li
Shizhen,
the
man
who studied medicine and
wrote the famous book about medicine
Ben Cao Gang Mu.
Then
is
wealth
or
fame
useful?
The
answer
is
absolutely
yes.
They can let us achieve our goals much
more easily. They make
us satisfied and
encourage other people. But
don
’
t take them
too
seriously
and
turn
ourselves
into
the
slaves
of
wealth
and
fame.
Shao
Yifu
set
us
a
good
example.
Born
in
1907,
Shao
strived
to
achieve
his
personal
dream
and
set
up
his
own
movie
factory.
He
never
lost
himself
in
wealth
and
fame
and
led
a
simple
life.
He
also
put
his
heart
in
the
public
welfare
career
and
gave
more
than
100
million
to
support
the
mainland
public
welfare
career
especially the education. He is clearly
aware that happiness
brought by wealth
is temporary; the real happiness lies in
making others happy. On the contrary,
some people take wealth
and
fame
as
their
final
goal,
they
try
to
get
more
by
all
means.
That is really not a
fine way.

倒
装
句
第一步：四级精彩套句展示
我们将通过三个常考的四级写作句型揭示倒装句的奥妙。
1. So +
形容词
+ be +
主词
+ that +
句子（如此
?
以至于
?
）
【例】
So precious is time that
we can not afford to waste
it.
时
间是如此珍贵，我们经不起浪费它。
这是四级作文部分经常
用到的一个套句，也是我们在第一部分要
学习的
第一种句型——倒装句。
我们注意到这个句子的谓语动词“
be
”放到的了主语的前面，这
种句子成分
< br>
顺序和标准句型不一致的句型就是倒装句。
倒装（
The
Inversion<
/p>
），一般来说是一种较正式的句型，能考查
考生的英文
写作
水平。在文章的开头用倒装句你的文章会因此而添色不少，
也是写应试作文
获取高
分的亮点之一，所以我们一定要学会正确地使用它，恰当
地用来阐述自己
的观点。
2. adj. + as +
Subject
（主词）
+ be, S. + V. +
?
（虽然
?
）
【例】
Rich as our country is,
our quality of life is by no
means
satisfactory.
虽然我们的国家富有，我们的生活品质却不是令人满意的。
v by no means = in no
way = on no aount
一点也不
3. On no aount can we
+ V. + ?
（我们绝对不能
?
）
【例】
On no aount can we ignore
the value of knowledge.
我们绝对不能忽略知识的价值。
第二步：语法精讲
1.
简介
倒装有两种。将主语和
谓语完全颠倒过来，叫做完全倒装（
plete
inversion
）。
【例】
Then
began
a
bitter
war
between
the
two
countries.
于
是两国
之间开始了恶战。
只将助动词（包括情态
动词）移至主语之前，叫做部分倒装
（
partial
inversion
）。
At no time can the entrance be left
unguarded.
入口需要随
时有人把
守。

四级必考句型
(1) Among the
disadvantages that may bring to are that
+ S. + V., making +
n. + adj.
【分析】有时候，为了强调“介词
+
宾语”结构，我们把它置于
句首，此
时句子需要全部倒装，
在本句中我们把谓语动词“
are
”放在了主
< br>语结构“
that?
”
的前面。
Among
the
disadvantages
that
cars
may
bring
to
our
lives
are

【分析】
Should there be a?
是省略
if
并部分倒装的将来时虚拟
条件句。
还原后为：
If there should be a?
There is a real
possibility that we can solve this problem
pletely,
should there be cooperation among all parties
involved.
(4) never,
hardly, seldom, rarely, not,
