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

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

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.
