Read the passage below and choose the best answer ( A, B, C or D ) to each question.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover
but a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their
emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to
understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they
are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically
have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is
more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses.
On the one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the
other's country, culture, traditions and lifestyles which can be very interesting. On the other
hand, it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's
excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly
you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up
with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often
played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately, you realize that your wife is
unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are
absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather
disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know
her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and
in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in
your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange
surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk
with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of
interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her
about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her
that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that
you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

A. Spouses who have the same nationality need more patience and understanding in their

C. Spouses who have the same roots go not share anything together.
D. Spouses who are from different cultures can never share anything together.

A. faithful B. hopeless C. disappointed D. happy
