Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Fighting over household chores and responsibilities is one of the most common arguments in any marriage or relationship. One couple has a unique way to settle those arguments — cold hard cash.

Daniel Reeves and Bethany Soule are a happily    21    (marry) couple with two children. They believe their happiness doesn’t come from fighting about chores, but instead    22    (pay) each other to shoulder the

responsibilities they don’t want to do themselves.

Bethany might pay Daniel $20 to put the kids to bed one night. And Daniel might receive $4 from Bethany to walk the dog when it’s raining outside the next day. These numbers aren’t just random, though.    23    a task needs completing, they both will write down the number (in dollars) they’d be willing to perform the task for on a piece of paper. They then show each other the number. The one with the    24    (low) number is then paid by the other to complete the task.

The things this couple will do for cash don’t stop at just household chores, though. Daniel paid Bethany $30,000 to have each of their two children. They also used this system to decide how    25    (name) their children. The person who chose the name had to pay for the privilege.    26    the fact that many couples can’t imagine using such a system, Daniel and Bethany say it works great. For the couple, cash, something    27    is a little more practical, seems to work well for them. It keeps them from being at each other’s throats, and things get done around the house.

Some people believe that marriage is difficult enough without trivializing (贬低) everything with a dollar amount while    28    hold that this cash system is just a fair and practical way to divide housework.

Unsurprisingly, this unconventional couple also co-founded an unconventional business that helps people commit to goals through staking money with their online goal-tracking app.    29    your goal is losing weight or learning English, they believe the key to success is money. Their business    30    (call) Bee-minder because they give you goal reminders but with a sting (蛰) if you fail. Bethany explains it simply, “You should make a promise for the money to stay on track towards your goals, and if you go off track, we take your money.”
