20、sh 承担，从事A Directions：In this section you will hear an extract from a radio talk on marriage customs in different parts of the world by Professor Robin Stuart. Listen to the talk and answer the following questions.1）How do people in the West perceive courtship and marriage despite the recent growth i

21、n the number of divorces,?They regard courtship and marriage through the eyes of a Hollywood producer.2）What is very common as far as marriage is concerned in India?Arranged marriage3） In Japan, if one of the young people involved in the arranged meeting says Oh, no, I could never marry him or her,

22、what will happen next?They call the whole thing off.B Direction: Listen to the talk again and fill in the blanks. In parts of Africa, a man is allowed to have several wives. Now that sounds fine from the mans point of view, but in fact the man is taking on a 1） great responsibility. When he takes a

23、new wife and buys her a nice present, he has to buy all his other wives 2） presents of equal value and, although we are obviously speaking of a 3） male-dominated society, the wives often become very close and so, if there is a disagreement in the family, the husband has three or four wives to argue

27、fferent parts of the world by Professor Robin Stuart:Despite the recent growth in the number of divorces, we in the West still tend to regard courtship and marriage through the eyes of a Hollywood producer. For us its a romantic business. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy asks girl to

28、 marry him, girl accepts. Wedding, flowers, big celebration.But in other parts of the world things work differently. In India, for instance, arranged marriage is still very common. An intermediary, usually a married lady, learns that a young man wishes to get married and she undertakes to find him a

29、 suitable bride. The young couple meets for the first time on the day of the wedding.In Japan, too, arranged marriages still take place. But there things are organized in a different way. A girl wishes to find a husband, and the girls mother, or an aunt perhaps, approaches the mother of a suitable young man and the young couples are introduced. They get a chance to have a look at one another and if one of them says Oh, no, I could never marry him or her, they call the whole thing off.
