SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: The question of whether dogs have a sense of humor is often fiercely argued. My own opinion is that some have and some haven't. Dachshunds have, but not St Bernards or Great Danes. Apparently a dog has to be small to be fond of joke. You never find a Great Dane trying to be a comedian.
But it is fatal to let any dog know that he is funny, for he immediately loses his head and starts overdoing it. As an example of this I would point to Rudolph, a Dachshund I once owned, whose slogan was "Anything for a Laugh". Dachshunds are always the worst offenders in this respect because of peculiar shape. It is only natural that when a dog finds that his mere appearance makes the viewing public laugh, he should imagine that Nature intended him to be a comedian.
Sometimes Rudolph overplays his sense of humor, a typical example of which is he once stole ducks from a farm nearby and brought complaints on me. It is true that Dachshunds and other dogs have their faults, but they seem unimportant compared with their virtues.
According to the narrator, which kind of dogs is thought to have a sense of humor?

A. St Bernards.
B. Great Danes.
C. Dachshunds.
D. Shepherd dogs.

Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one's fantasies, some of one's legitimate desires have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional disciplines. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow himself or herself to stop growing or changing.
A divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grown hopelessly apart or frozen in patterns of pains or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be like the first cut of the surgeon's knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partners can stay past the breaking up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfection, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself.
According to the passage, an ideal marriage life ______.

A. requires considerable sacrifice on both partners
B. requires that the couple be emotionally involved
C. allows for the growth of the husband and wife as a couple and as two individuals
D. is only an illusion in today's society
