Break-up
Once in a person's lifetime, everyone finds this one perfect person whom they fall hopelessly in love with and live happily ever after. That is a mere fallacy, in the real world, this simply does not happen. Yes, people do have common interests and therefore develop romantic involvement, but it is basic common sense that these relationships have a life span and simply cannot last. Real life relationships are definitely more like "The Real World" rather than "Romeo and Juliet".
Romanticism is wonderful in itself, and thus two people can live in heavenly bliss, but it all must come to an end somehow. It is a fact of life that couples do break up, and there are many reasons why. There are countless-reasons, ranging from cheating to abuse, attributing to breakups.
Wealth
One reason why couples might break up is money or a lack thereof. If one partner in a relationship is always paying or keeping up all the bills, his/her partner just might grow tired of it and decide that it is a valid reason to separate. For example, a woman who is al ways lending her boyfriend money for his rent, car note, and social expenses will probably eventually grow tired of it and leave him.
Addiction
More reasons why couples separate, addictions often result in ugly breakups. Whether it is an addiction to drugs, gambling, or whatever, hardly anyone would be willing to take that on an everyday basis. Most people would agree that it is not pretty to see someone throw their life away on addictions. It is simply not attractive and thus, not many people would want to be with someone with an extreme problem like that.
Physical Assets
An unfortunate reason for a breakup, physical disabilities, also occurs at times. This can range from a paralyzing accident to infertility. To some people, having children is the most important priority in their adult life. Having a partner whom is unable to have children can very much hinder a relationship. Thus, it will not last. Likewise, having a partner who has a paralyzing disability might be too much for someone to take. Being with a person, who becomes handicapped, though unfortunate, is a big burden to place on a per son.
Test of Time and Distance
Growing apart, an instance in which two people just do not feel attraction towards each other anymore is very commonplace, resulting in an end of a relationship. Some couples simply "fall out of love". Some people can only stand so much of another person be fore they grow tired of the situation. Also, it could be as a result to distance. For exam ple, when a couple who were together in high school go their own ways in choosing colleges, this, most often than not, results in the couple breaking up. A long distance relation ship like that simply that does work out often.
"l Want the Better. '
In direct relation to growing apart, a person sometimes finds another person besides their boy/girlfriend who they are attracted to. Finding somebody "better" will kill a relationship quickly, and start a new relationship. If a person finds someone more attractive than the person they are currently with, they might have to weigh their options and decide that they want to go another direction.
Cheating
Likewise, when a person finds someone they like, this could result in cheating, another reason why couples break up. If a guy catches his girlfriend is cheating on him, or vice versa, this could very well be a valid reason to end that relationship. Finding someone cheating leads to a lack of trust and thus, kills the relationship.
Abuse
Also, another very serious reason resulting in a break-up is abuse. When someone abuses his or her girlfriend, spouse, or children, a break-up is definitely necessary. Some one who is taking abuse is playing with fire by letting it go on. They are simply risking their lives, and thus, they need to let

听力原文: Ought you to give other people advice about how to live their lives? I don't know. But sometimes it is possible to give good advice.
When t was young, a stranger came to my house; a small man with shabby clothes and a round red face. He told me he was working in a small hospital but didn't like his job there. He asked whether there would be any opportunities for an English doctor in Spain. I warned him that Spain was not always the Spain of grand opera, but that be might earn enough to keep body and soul together. He must decide for himself. He left me and I soon forgot him. Some years later I happened to be in Valencia. Feeling rather unwell, I asked the hotel porter if there was an English- speaking doctor in the town. He gave me an address.
When I reached the house, a small cheerful looking man met me. He was the English speaking doctor and invited me in. After he had examined me and told me what to do, I asked what his fee was.
He shook his head. "There's no fee. Don't you recognize me? I was wondering whether I'd ever have a chance to thank you for what you've done. You told me I might earn enough money to keep body and soul together and I haven't done much more than that. I shall never be rich, but that doesn't matter at all. I'm happy, I enjoy my job, and I wouldn't exchange it for anything else in the world."
