二、阅读理解
Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is
becoming almost as "popular" . Most American people get married, but at the
present time, fifty percent of American marriages end up in divorce. However,
four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a second
time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most
American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime.
Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form "serial
marriages" . In his book Future Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this
change in American marriage. In modern society, people’s lives don’t stay the
same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes, and
their circle of friends. So the person who was a good husband or wife ten years
ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a
husband or wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they
don’t share the same interests any more.
For this reason Toffler says, people in the twenty-first century will not
plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay
married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another.
Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or
four marriages.

One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dan, but
Dan happened to be away. Dan's brother John offered to go instead though he did
not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.
Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit
by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy（浮标） through the fog and decided
to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he
dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not
know how to use the radio. He drifted（漂流） about and on the was not seen until
