    阅读下面短文，从题中所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Many people would interpret “The American dream” as “living like an American”-a two-story house with a white picket fence; a family with two cars; and two children．

    　　However, the economic situation is now affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living in the US, according to new census(人口普查)data．“It's going to have a long-term impact and to say it's going to end is optimistic, ” says Cheryl Russell, former editor-in-chief of American Demographics magazine．“I'm more pessimistic that this is the new normal．”

    　　So what is the new normal?

    　　*Marrying later．The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for women, up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006．At the same time, fewer people are getting married．If the marriage rate had stayed the same as in 2006, there would have been about 4 million more married people in 2010．

    　　*Fewer babies．There were 200, 000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared with two years before．This was despite the fact that the number of women of childbearing age had gone up by more than 1 million．“The recession(衰退)is the likely cause, ” says Kenneth Johnson, demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institue, “Economic fertility(生育能力)” because women delay …in uncertain times．

    　　*Breaking up is harder．The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or choose to live together before they get married．There were about 65, 000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in 2008, a 7 percent decrease．

    　　*Crowd living．Unemployment is forcing more people to live together．The number of households where people lived with “other relatives” climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010．

    　　*Going public．Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in 2010．

    　　*Fewer cars．The percent age of households without a car rose to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in 2006．The percent-age of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent．

    　　*Driving solo．When people are not working, they don't carpool．The proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in employment dropped greatly in all but one of the 50 largest metropolitan(大城市的)areas．That has helped push the share of people driving to work alone from 76 percent in 2006 to 76.6 percent in 2010．Ride-sharing is down a full percentage point, to 9.7 percent．

    More Taiwanese Students Study Here

    TAIBEI―Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island's "China rush", seeking education on the Chinese mainland. According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 per cent annually in the past two years with well over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year.

    The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities. "Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market," Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. "I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people," said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master's degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.

    A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese main-land since "there will be better career prospects for me now that more Taiwanese companies are going there".

    Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. "They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations," said Yang Chingyao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.

    A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favoured by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.

    At present, Chinese Taibei doesn't recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates( IIE 45) from selected universities.

     

    46. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because ___.

    A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later

    B. the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan

    C. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future

    D. there are many famous universities for them to choose

    47. Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children ___.

    A. could receive better education                  

    B. could learn more about the policy there

    C. could do well in their business operations   

    D. could make more friends there

    48. The underlined word "it" refers to ___.

    A. Netbig.com                                   B. a Chinese education on the mainland

    C. the Chinese job market                   D. the university

    49. The main idea of paragraph 3 is ___.

    A. law in the Chinese mainland is pleasant to learn

    B. Taiwanese companies are coming to the Chinese mainland because the law there is perfect

    C. more Taiwanese companies coming to the mainland makes it better to learn laws

    D. the mainland is short of lawyers for the Taiwanese companies

    50. The author wrote the article to tell us __.

    A. the number of Taiwanese students going to universities on the mainland had been increasing year after year

    B. more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainland

    C. education on the mainland is more attractive compared with that of Taiwan
