昨天的题目：
Back in 1990, Pew asked couples what made a marriage work, and fewer than half (47%) of adults said sharing household chores was very important. When couples were asked again 17 years since later, no other item on the list (which included faithfulness and happy sexual relationships) had risen in importance nearly as much, and across the demographic landscape―among men as well as women, marrieds as well as singles; old as well as young.
According to the recent survey, what makes the marriage work well?
(A) the loyalty to the marriage
(B)the harmonious communication
(C)the importance of home chores
(D) the joint efforts for homework
选C和选D的同学都算对吧！
因为D选项的前半段更合理；
而C选项的后半段更合理。
最正确的答案应该是：
The joint efforts of home chores
主要还是做昨天一时手滑，其实我最后一个选项想写的是：
Housework
这下就都明白了吧！
记得点个赞就好了！
谢谢了！
今天的句子：
2015年61岁的知名少儿作家杜虹在美国去世后进行遗体冷冻，成为中国遗体冷冻第一人。去年，英国一位女孩（出于保护未成年当事人的要求，所有媒体报道均以JS代号称呼这个女孩）也同样选择了冷冻遗体，寄望于先进的医学技术给自己再活一次的机会。但不同的是，这位女孩年仅14岁，在法律上被视为没有独立行为能力，无法书写有法律效力的遗嘱或指定遗嘱执行人。而她的两位监护人——离异的父母对遗体冷冻有完全对立的看法。母亲支持她对未来报有希望，希望帮助她获得再活一次的机会。父亲出于伦理观点坚决反对，担心如果女孩醒来失去了记忆，或者没有恢复所有的机能，她将失去当初的坚持和力量，迷茫无助地仰仗他人鼻息而生活。法官最终同意了女孩的请求，但法官也表示如果法律允许女孩书写自己的遗嘱和指定执行人，一切就不会如此冗长而繁琐。这个案件启发英国法律委员会下调遗嘱行为年龄至16岁（原来是18岁），理由是既然16岁就可以结婚、参军、离校、同意性行为（16岁以下的同意无效，均视为强迫）、独立生活和独立作出关于自身的医疗决策，那么订遗嘱也不应该有任何问题。
刚写到这里，家乡就发生了地震，我家还好，家里人都平安。
祈福一切平安！
下面附上女孩写给法官的信。
“有人让我解释为什么想做这么不寻常的事。
我只有14岁，我不想死但我知道我就要死去。
我想冷冻会给我一次治愈和醒来的机会，虽然可能是在几百年之后。
我不想被埋在地下。
我想活着，活得很久。我想未来他们会为我得的癌症找到治愈的方法，然后唤醒我。
我想要有这个机会。这是我的愿望。”
（想起汪国真的诗句：不去想未来是平坦还是泥泞，只要热爱生命，一切，都在意料之中）
The need for reform was demonstrated, the commission says, by the extraordinary case of a 14-year-old girl suffering from terminal cancer, identified only as JS, who sought permission last year from the high court to have her body cryogenically preserved in the hope that she could be brought back to life at a later date.
词汇突破：
Demonstrate 证明；展示
Commission 委员会
Extraordinary 非凡的；特别的
Terminal 终点的，晚期的
Identify 识别
Permission 允许；许可
Cryogenically 低温地；冷冻地
确定主干：
The need for reform was demonstrated by the extraordinary case.
切分成分：
1.the commission says插入语
2.of a 14-year-old girl suffering from terminal cancer后置定语
3.identified only as JS定语，相当于who was identified only as JS
4.who sought permission last year from the high court定语从句
5.to have her body cryogenically preserved in the hope不定式作目的状语
6.that she could be brought back to life at a later date同位语从句
参考译文：
法律委员会表示，14岁女孩（仅以代号JS识别）的特别案件证明了改革的必要性。这位罹患晚期癌症的女孩去年向高等法院申请批准冰冻保存遗体，希望将来某一天能复活。
