Step Back in Time
Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One
hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45.But now,she can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after
ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make
sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and
what to do to get better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to
keep our hearts beating healthily.
But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was
like 100 years ago.
Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.
Children suffered from lots of diseases , especially rickets（佝偻病）and scurvy（坏血病）,
which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not
able to feed their children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept
standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the 1 920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on
windowsills（窗台板）,blocks of ice, or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their
parents. If you had lived 1 00 years ago , you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）(a
job done by many children)or working with your dad by now.Life was not easy for many children living 100 years ago.

American Families
1 Despite social and economic differences among Americans,many American families have certain characteristics in common.Both the husband and wife were born in the United States,and their forefathers came from Europe.They have completed high school,and they belong to the middle class.They have a car, a television set,a washing machine,a refrigerator,a telephone,etc.They own their own home and spend about 55%of their income for housing and food.Clothing accounts for almost 10%of their income,medical care 6%,transportation 8%and taxes 15%.The rest of their income is used for such items as insurance, savings,gifts,and recreation.
2 Most families consist of a mother,a father,and,at most,two children living at home.There may be relatives-grandparents,aunts,uncles,cousins living in the same community,but American families usually maintain separate households.This family structure is known as the"nuclear family".It is unusual. for members of the family other than the husband,wife,and children to live together.
3 Marriage in the United States is considered a matte,r of individual responsibility and decision.Young people frequently fall in love and many even if their parents disagree.American marriages are usually based on romantic love,rather than on social class,education,or religion.
4 After their marriage the young couple is free to decide where to live and when to start a family.Most young couples set up their own household immediately.In the early 1970s only 15%of all married couples were not living on their own-independently and by themselves.Most married people practise some kind of birth control.They plan the number of children they are going to have and when their children will be born. The practice of limiting the size of families has general approval.The birth rate has been declining steadily in recent years.There are among many American families______.

第四段的主旨句是第一句，主要讲的是美国年轻夫妻的婚后生活。A项中的“post-marriage"甲是第四段第一句中“After their marriage”的同义转换。
