问题    Read the following text from a discussion in which five women talked about their views on marriage. For questions 61 to 65, match each person (61 to 65 ) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
   Lisa:
   Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It’s a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain qualities to make it a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. If partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained.
   Elizabeth:
   One thing I think that is important to a successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me want to do things for him because of his generous nature. I know there are many times he would rather be reading, relaxing, or working on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him.
   Catherine:
   My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thought. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don’t have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset, he tells me about it. Things like that are easier to deal with when they’re out in the open than when they’re kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship.
   Rose:
   I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter bow earnestly the former spouses try to "keep in touch", no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot.
   Betty:
   The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another.
   Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work
[B] Being able to communicate makes our marriage happy.
[C] Being a person of independence leads to a successful marriage.
[D] Divorced people will live an incomplete life
[E] Marriage is the result of extended love.
[F] Divorce results from a lack of responsibility and a sense of humor.
[G] Divorces can be avoided.
Elizabeth
选项
答案A
解析 Elizabeth的第一句话即点明了自己的观点：她认为最重要的是you should not always think of yourself，也就是不能太以自我为中心。然后她以自己的婚姻为例对此进行了说明。因此，她发言的中心意思就是不以自我为中心对成功的婚姻很重要，选[A] 。
