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 comes 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 forthcoming 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 accounted for by the couples who slid into being parents, disagreed over it or were ambivalent about it. Couples who planned or equally welcomed 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 occurred 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 networks 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
篇二：作文翻译
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.

UNIT 1 基本技能篇(15天)
Day 1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。
这是四级考试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
顺序和标准句型不一致的句型就是倒装句。
倒装（The Inversion），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 account一点也不
3. On no account can we + V. + ?（我们绝对不能?）
【例】On no account 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（complete
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。
2. 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”放在了主语结构“that?”
的前面。
Among the disadvantages that cars may bring to our lives are that we
could spend more time in traffic jams and we would likely spend more money
on operation and maintenance fees, making our schedules tighter and our
pockets lighter!
(2) With these steps, we can change our society into one out of which
comes the possibility that
【分析】句中的定语从句“out of which comes the possibility?”是完
全倒装句。
With these steps, we can change our society into one out of which comes
the possibility that natural resources will be fully cherished.
(3) There is a real possibility that , should there be a .
【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 completely,
should there be cooperation among all parties involved.
(4) never, hardly, seldom, rarely, not, until?，scarcely, in no case
（不管怎样也不），in no way（不管怎么也不），by no means（决不），on no account
（不论什么原因也不），at no time（无论什么时候也不）等否定词放在句首时，
句子要倒装。
By no means shall we cease to protect our environment.
(5) It was very late. Exhausted though she was, there was no hope of
her being able to fall asleep.
【分析】从属连词as和though也可以用于让步状语从句中。这种从句必须
以形容词（或形容词化的分词）、名词或动词原形开头，主句必须位于从句之后。
1) Small as a bicycle is, it can bring a lot of convenience to our
lives.
2) Foolish though he looks, he always seems to make the wisest
proposals. （他看起来样子傻傻的，可似乎总是能提出最聪明的建议。）
3) Try as you may, you will never succeed. （你尽管可以试，但决不
会成功）。
