婚前协议一位即将结婚的男子希望能够确保即使婚姻失败,他仍可以把他珍爱的冰淇淋藏品好好储存在冰柜里。
一名女子坚持要求明确婚后由谁来遛狗。
一名男子要求,如果他未来的新娘婚后体重增加15磅以上,他有权离婚。
以上这些都是婚前协议中一些比较荒唐的条款。
但是不要弄错了,大多数婚前协议涉及到的都是钱──以及一旦离婚该怎样分配财产。
而且,离婚及其带来的钱财纠纷,在美国是很常见的事。
婚前协议──简称prenup──就是用来处理这些问题的。
婚前协议由即将结婚的男女双方的律师共同协定,然后由双方在牧师宣布他们结为夫妻之前签署。
自20世纪80年代初以来,婚前协议在美国被越来越多的人接受,因为当时越来越多的州开始通过关于离婚财产分配的法律。
这些法律要么是基于“共有财产”(平均分配),要么是基于“合理分配”(法官认为怎样“公平”就怎样分)。
名人的婚前协议总是新闻头条:杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奥纳西斯的律师在亚里士多德·奥纳西斯死后拿出两人的婚前协议对簿公堂,据说她后来在庭外和解中得到了2,600万美元。
但婚前协议也适用于那些不甚有名却很富有的人。
“这是因为离婚会带来巨大的经济后果,而再婚又如此常见,”一位家庭法律师说。
典型的想签订婚前协议的人是那些积累了大量财富、曾吃过苦头的男性,他们想减少日后的麻烦。
“他们想自己安排解决,而不想让法庭裁决,”美国婚姻法律师协会纽约分会的会长说。
保护前一次婚姻的孩子是签署婚前契约的一个重要原因。
“有人可能有价值10亿美元的财产,而他又不想让第二个配偶分得5亿美元。
他可能想多留一点给自己的孩子,”一名律师说。
为了将财产传到自己的儿孙手中,六七十岁的退休丧偶老人在找老伴时,订立婚前协议也很常见。
另一种要求签订婚前协议的情况大多是,未来的丈夫或妻子已经或即将继承巨额遗产或家庭产业,而未来伴侣却家产不多或一贫如洗。
但是,即使双方签订了这样的协议,如果不遵循正确的指导方针,还是不可能在法院实施它。

ScriptW: Of all the holidays people celebrate, Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day...which are the most important to you?M: Christmas and Easter, because they mark events in Jesus Christ's life: his birth and his escape from a tomb into heaven.

They love to be loved, that's all.Q: What was the mother's response to her son's gift?A)She was beside her-self with joy.3. ScriptM: Every country has its own unique holidays.

Listening InTask1:Expensive HolidaysScriptGrace: So, Mark, what are you going to get me for Chinese Valentine's Day-a holiday for the Cowherd and Girl Weaver to meet?Mark: Sorry, I've never heard of it. Anyway, we already celebrated Valentine's Day in February. I gave you a bunch of red roses.Grace: But there's another lover's day in the world. Isn't it wonderful if lovers have more than one lover's day a year?Mark: Do you mean I have to get you a present fort each lover’s day?Grace: Well, you d better give me a present from time to time if you want to win my heart. Mark: I gave you a beautiful card on New Year's Day...and a Christmas gift a couple of days before that.

Grace objects that it is wonderful if lovers have more than one lover's day a year. She needs Mark's presents from time to time if Mark wants to win her heart. Mark mentions that he gave her a beautiful card on New Year's Day, a Christmas gift a couple of days before that, and invited her to a dinner on the Chinese Spring Festival, Although Grace loves celebrating holidays, Mark worries that it's hard on the walle t, and he will end up in the poor house at this rate. Finally Grace tells Mark not to forget her birthday on the lunar calendar, though she already received a ring from Mark for her birthday on the Western calendar.Task2:April Fool’s DayScriptOn a flight from the West Coast to the East Coast, the lead flight attendant was eager to get in early as her boyfriend, a pilot, was going to have a short stopover at the destination airport. She made a point of telling her fellow crew members about this. Because it was April 1st, April Fool's Day, the day people play tricks on one another, the captain decided to have a little fun.About an hour before landing, he made an announcement that went like this: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. I have a little bit of bad news. There're some thunderstorms at our destination, and they've currently closed the airport. They expect it to reopen in about thirty minutes to an hour. As one might expect, this will result in long delays. As we've come all the way from the West Coast, we don't even have enough fuel to circle until the airport reopens. Therefore, we are going to be diverting to Cleveland, and we should be landing in about thirty minutes. We'll take some fuel there and get you back on your way to our original destination. I’m terribly sorry for the delay. However, we’11 get you there just as soon as possible." It was at this moment that you could hear someone running up to the cockpit. The cockpit door flew open, and sure enough it was the lead flight attendant mumbling something like, "This can’t be happening. What shall I do?" As she went on painfully, the capta in made anotherannouncement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, happy April Fool's Day!'"T F T F FTask3: The Wilsons’ ThanksgivingScriptThanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion. On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when all members of a family gather.But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family. Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take time out to visit their parents one year. They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members. But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their "extended family". This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.The group has grown over the years. To accommodate all the guests, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room. At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children. Now some of the first guests are grandparents.Like many other Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served "with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies.1.A2.D3.C4.B5.CIV.

Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask1:Celebrations on the New Year’s EveScriptOn December 31st, Americans welcome the New Year in various ways.Some people like to see the New Year in while traveling by boat. For example, people in Chicago, Illinois, can choose from several special holiday trips on Lake Michigan. These cruises include dinner and dancing to music performed by a band. In San Diego, California, a company offers New Year's Eve parties on the Pacific Ocean. It costs more than 100 dollars for each person. Other Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home. They drink champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations. This can lead to tragic results if a person then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accident~ during the holiday.Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol more than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston, Massachusetts, started the tradition of First Night celebrations in 1976. They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year. But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So they organized music, art and other events to observe the holiday. People in Boston can choose among 250 performances and exhibits around the city. People can look at huge statues made of ice. Families can also watch fireworks Early in the evening.1~5 C B D A CTask 2: Mother’s DayScriptIn the U.S., Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. It was first observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1907.Long before that, there were days honoring mothers even in ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the mother of the gods who was given honor.Later, in the 1600s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday". It wascelebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.In the U.S., in 1907, Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvispersuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia, to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, which was the second Sunday in May. The next year Mother's Day was again celebrated in Philadelphia. Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother s Day. They were successful. In 1914, the American President president proclaimed Mother s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May.Task3: St.Valentine’s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love. One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.News ReportA Famous Christmas MarketScriptReceiving Christmas presents is always fun, but buying them can be a headache. This is why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city of Nuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt..The four-hundred-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its 150 stalls sell all kinds of toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering two million people visit the market annually.The old city and market add a special feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist, Mivart Thomas, explains," There's something quite, sort of, medieval about the atmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls--traditional-looking stalls--and the cathedral in the background with lights all around; and just a few minutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. Thewhole atmosphere is wonderful." The market maintains its Old World atmosphere with regulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is on the family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that the market's name translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is to offer presents for children on Christmas. Christmas markets are found in many German cities, but Nuremberg's is the most famous. It gives a very different impression from the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of the market spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.。

Conflicts occur when their children fail to reach their expectations. But why do parents tend to expect so much from their children?The harsh reality may be one reason for the high expectations. We can see such logic behind parents' expectations: If their children can study hard, then they will be admitted to key universities, and then they will be much more competitive in job hunting after graduation.The peer pressure is also a contributing factor. Parents tend to compare their kids to other kids interms of academic performance. Parents consider it a shame if their children always lag behind other children. So it is often the case that parents spare no efforts to send their children to expensive training centers.Parents' love for their kids provides another explanation for their burning desire to see the best of their kids. Parents will be proud if their children make great achievements. But sometimes such love becomes a heavy burden on their kids.The harsh reality, peer pressure and parents' love all account for the unreasonable expectations for the kids. To set reasonable expectations for the kids is not easy, but is worth trying; after all, parents don't want the heavy pressure to crush their children.9威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界闻名的岛城:威尼斯建立于公元5世纪,在公元10世纪时成为一支重要的海上力量。

Because divorce, with its accompanying money problems, is common in the US, and more and more states began passing laws that affected the division of assets in a divorce.4. First, a wealthy man who has been stung before may want to avoid such problems in the future. Second, protecting children from a previous marriage is also a strong reason. When one future partner is extremely rich while the other is poor they may also want a prenup.5. First, any language mistakes in a prenup, even a misplaced preposition, can be disastrous. Second, a prenuptial agreement signed under pressure can cause problems. Finally, there can be a dispute over premarital agreements if a couple decides to divorce while living abroad, or when they have different passports.6. Prenuptial agreements are almost ignored by British courts because English law says that the circumstances of a marriage aren’t static, and therefore a judge should decide how financial assets will be divided.7. For one thing, the divorce rate in the US is very high and is often accompanied by money disputes. For another, laying bare all one’s finances can sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage.8. Because many people just put it in a drawer and never look at it again after having signed the agreement.VocabularyIII.1. invitation2. enforced3. cited4. awkward5. inherited6. dispute7. exposure8. valid9. verified 10. justificationIV.1.She has certainly gained in confidence over the last couple of years.2.The actor made the headlines for having an affair.3.Greg’s parents are worried about his exposure to the kind of people they don’t approve ofwhile he’s at college.4.The opposition parties are calling for the minister’s resignation over the scandal.5.The administration is in the process of drawing up a peace plan.6.She’ll end up penniless if she keeps spending as much as that.7.She lays bare her three unhappy marriage as much as that.8.Hoping that he might be able to shed light on the problem, I asked Paul to look at the engine.9.The outside influences have no bearing on what you can do for your basketball team.10.Thank you; I’ll store that piece of news away for a time when I might need it.V.1.
