Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage
In times of economic crisis Americans turn to their families for support If the Great
Depression is any guide we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate But this won't
necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages In the long run the Depression weakened
American families and the current crisis will probably do the same
①We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge
job losses By 1932 when nearly onequarter of the workforce was unemployed the divorce rate
had declined by around 25 from 1929 But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with
their marriages Rather with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs unhappy couples often
couldn't afford to divorce They feared neither spouse could manage alone
Today given the job losses of the past year fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate
households Furthermore the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to
finance their separations by selling their homes
After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other
and their communities
A1940 book The Unemployed Man and His Family described a family
in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job with tireless search for workHe was
always active looking for odd jobs to do
The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country many similar
families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气) For some the hardships of life
without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together The
divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold
②Millions ofAmerican families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the
current crisis working together and supporting one another through the early months of
unemployment
Today's economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships
have been irreparably(法弥补)ruined③So it's only when the economy is healthy again that
we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created
