Dr. Sheeler was no exception. (14[D])He, however, had received no calls from the Nelson family in quite some time and was a bit surprised when one night, shortly after he had fallen asleep, the phone rang and he heard, "Doctor, this is Jim Nelson. Come right away. My wife is in pain. At first it was not serious, but now the pain is very severe. She just sits here groaning and clutching her side. I'm sure it's appendicitis."
Recalling what he remembered about the Nelsons, Dr. Sheeler tried to calm the near-hysterical man at the other end of the line. "Now, now, Mr. Nelson, it can't be all that bad, probably just indigestion. I'll come around the first thing in the morning."
"But, doctor, I'm sure it's her appendix. You've got to come now. My wife's life may be in danger!"
"That's absurd," (15[B]) the doctor said disapprovingly, now somewhat irritated at the other man's insistence. "(17[D])I took your wife's appendix out two years ago. You know as well as I do that she hasn't got another one."
"I know that, Dr. Sheeler." said the sad husband. "(16[B]) But last year I got another wife."

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： A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn't easy; marriage has always been difficult. Why then are we seeing so many divorces at this time？ Yes, our modem social fabric is thin, and yes, the permissiveness of society has created unrealistic expectations and threw the family into disorder. (11[C]) But divorce is so common because people today are unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. They expect easy joy, like the entertainment on TV, the thrill of a good party.
(l2 [B]) 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. "While all martial partners feel shacked at times, it is they who really choose to make the martial ties into confining chains or supporting bonds," says Dr. Walter. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional disciple. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow them to stop growing or changing.
Why are divorces so common at present？
