Why do people marry？ People divorce often, it can be 【S1】______

seen by the rising divorce rate in the U.S. and elsewhere. But they

remarry soon enough after they divorce. Now many of them

divorce at a much younger age than before. That is also found 【S2】______

that the young have a big share of divorce. But what many

sociologists find difficult to understand is because they seem to 【S3】______

be eager to rush into marriage than get out of it. 【S4】______

In the old days, there was every reason to marry young—

specially among the working class. In Chinese communities, 【S5】______

unmarried men and women seemed to be disadvantaged in many

ways. Women were in a more difficult position than men since

in earlier time, girls were not allowed to be educated. They also 【S6】______

did not enjoy social freedom. In the past, women who were not

"married off" if they turned 30 were considered to be a problem 【S7】______

or a worry for the family. They might have to remain with their

families as they could not find jobs, and thus were able to support 【S8】______

themselves. For men, they often led an unpleasant and uncomfortable 【S9】______

life as they did not have a wife to do the sewing, cooking,

and cleaning and take care of the husband and children. In those 【S10】______

days, the family was the cornerstone of society. Both sexes needed

marriage far more than now.
