In many homes, divorce is caused by "battle between the sexes. " To understand the problem, one must remember(22)the modern American woman is free. During childhood and adolescence, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s. After completing school, she is able to get a job to support herself. She doesn’t have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn’t want to be dominated by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions.(23)When the husband and wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court. When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money.(24)If the couple have children, the children usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support. Although divorce is quite common in the US, 80% of those who get divorced remarry.(25)The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, "Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children and my children are beating up our children!"
22. What can be inferred about the modern American women from the passage?
23. What probably causes divorce in the US according to the passage?
24. What will happen when a couple divorces in America?
25. What does the well-known joke imply?
选项

本题问的是那个非常出名的笑话暗示了什么。短文最后提到再婚可以让很多人,特别是孩子们再次享受家庭生活,但同时也出现了很多问题。接下来的笑话形象地说明了再婚家庭的问题。由此推断,讲话者引用这个笑话意在说明再婚会引起家庭生活中的一些新矛盾。
