It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year — we just won’t go.
Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession — financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterised by intense verbal ( 言语上的) aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.
Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women. "People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for," he explains. "They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them." He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.
"The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it." [br] What does the author say about vacationing?
选项
A、People enjoy it all the more during a recession.
B、Few people can afford it without working hard.
C、It makes all the hard work worthwhile.
D、It is the chief cause of family disputes.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的the author say和vacationing将本题出处定 位于第一段第四句。该句提到,我会说生命只有一次,我们工作又很辛苦, 如果不能去度假一切还有什么意义呢?由此可知,作者认为,如果不去度假, 那么辛苦工作就没有意义。换句话说,度假让辛苦工作变得有意义,故答 案为[C]。[A]与首段末句提到的“经济衰退意味着……我们明年不去度假” 意思相反。[B]是根据常识设的干扰项。[D]是根据首段出现的argument 和go on holiday设置的干扰项,该项的chief cause在文中找不到依据。
