Then they left home to pay a visit to their gaughter in Inverness.

They came home at about eleven. As they opened the front door, they were welcomed by a snarling (狂吠的) boxer, standing with bared teeth. Any attempt to calm the animal met with angrt barkinng. Soon all the neighbors were awake, and came out to offer helpful advice.

Then the fire brigade was called. They arrived at midnight. But all their attempts only made the dog more violent. They couldn’t get near it. The fire brigade gave up and called the police.

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. This surpring statistic makes many people think twice before tying a knot (结). This statistic also makes one wonder what cause a maariage to succeed. My parents have been married for thirty-three years, and though they’ve had their their ups and downs, they have had a wonderful relationship. Why has their marriage succeeded?

My parents have always expressed their love for each other. Thoughout their courtship (求婚) they did many wonderful things for each other: buying flowers, wreting letters, and sending surprises. They’ve continued these practices throughout their marriage as ways of showing love.

Another quality of my parents’marriage is that they are flexible about their demands and expectations of each other. When I was four, Dad was laid off from his job. As a result, Mom entered the workforce. Although Dad was soon rehired, Mom enjoyed her job so much that she decided to keep is. Dad was a bit surprised, but he could see that is made her happy. If problems arose because of the time demands of their jobs, they worked through these problems—together.

My parents remain committed (忠诚的) to each other, even during difficult times. Early in their marriage, Dad was sent overseas as a communications specialist. He wrote home every now and then, but he didn’t see Mom for nine moths. Mom was home alone. Sometimes her single coworkers would encourage her to go out with them and have a good time. When I asked her why she didn’t, she told me that she had made a commitment to my father and she was living by that commitment. When they were reunited, they had nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be angry with each other about. I have come to believe that their absolute commitment yo each other is, more than anything else, what has caused their marriage to work.

I noce heard someone say that marriage isn’t a fifty-fifty deal. It’s ninety-ten on both sides. Could that be the secret of a successful marriage? It seems to describe the one my parents have.
