Living Alone Is Joyful
More and more Americans are living alone. Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. 【B1】______According to a recent U. S. census(人口普查), 25 percent of all households in the U.S. are made up of just one person. This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.
The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely.【B2】______The majority of these people have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
It’s now socially acceptable, even fashionable, to live alone. As people get better jobs and become financially independent, it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household.【B3】______ owever, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it. "Living alone is a luxury, "says Nina Hagiwara, 33. "Once you do it, you can’t ever go back to living with others, " David C’Debaca, 46, agrees.【B4】______
Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.【B5】______ The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.
A. There’ s more pressure to get married nowadays.
B. The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
C. However, even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
D. It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
E. In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U. S. are under the age of 35.
F. He says, " I like being by myself. "
【B2】
选项
答案
E
解析
前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”;后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”,联系上下文可知,“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者,而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”,选项中只有E项“事实上,在美国2 300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
