Getting married can be as simple as a five-minute ceremony performed by a judge in a law office. Or it can be a traditional religious ceremony at home, or in a church.
The average age of an American woman being married for the first time is about twenty-four years. The average age for a man is twenty-five. Most young men and women get engaged about a year before the wedding.
In the Nineteen-Sixties and Seventies, many young Americans decided not to have traditional, formal weddings. Many brides and grooms wrote their own wedding ceremonies. These often included poetry and personal statements about their goals in marriage. Some grooms wore old blue jeans to their weddings. More than a few brides were married in their bare feet. It was not unusual to be married on a sandy beach or on a mountainside.
In the last ten years, however, big formal weddings have become popular again. Experts say the average size of formal weddings now is two-hundred guests. Most formal wedding patties are held at hotels or high-priced eating places. There are fresh flowers and paid photographers. Musicians play for dancing, and hired servants present the wedding dinner.
A big wedding takes months to plan, and it can cost thousands of dollars.
How many people get married in June each year in the United States?
A.About five million.
B.About two and a half million.
C.About one point eight million.
D.About six hundred and twenty-five thousand.
The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy of the bank failures of the 1930's. The current high rate of bank failure--higher than at any time since the Great Depression-has made legislators afraid to remove the restrictions. While their legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today's telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets. In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For example, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states regulations permitted that bank to explain instead through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region.? Of course not. The solution is clear. American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited. The house of Representative's banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limit ed, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to torn counterweights to the big money-center banks. Without this breathing space the big money-center banks might soon extend across the country to develop. But any such legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American's suitable banking legislation.

A.concerned dissatisfaction

听力原文:W: Did you have a good time last weekend?

M: Neither had I.
W: What did you do?

W: It's something like a picnic, isn't it?
M: Well, yes. The weather was warm, so we had this one outdoors. But in winter they have them indoors too.
