By 1996 about 25 million people over the age of 21 years were living alone. 50 years ago this number was less than 2 million. One reason for this is because people are getting married at a much later age than in the past. The average age for men is now 27 years. For women it is about 25 years. Another reason is the increase in the number of divorces. Living alone has become more acceptable in American society. In the past people sometimes think those who lived alone were a little strange. These days, however, several of the most popular TV shows tell the story of men and women who cant meet “the right person” and who plan to be single forever. Many such single people (especially women) feel that they are more free to pursue (追求) their careers (事业) than those who are married. In a way these people are married to their jobs. 在美国人的数量选择不嫁给每年增长。到1996年大约2500万人年龄超过21年的独自生活。50年前这一数字还不到200万。原因之一是因为人们在很久以后结婚年龄比过去。现在人的平均年龄是27年。对女性来说,这大约是25年。另一个原因是离婚的数量增加。 独自生活在美国社会已经变得更加可以接受。在过去人们有时认为那些独自一人有点奇怪。这些天来,然而,一些最受欢迎的电视节目讲述男人和女人的故事不能满足“合适的人”,计划永远单身。许多这样的单身的人(尤其是女性)觉得他们更自由地追求(追求)职业生涯(事业)比那些都结婚了。在某种程度上这些人嫁给了他们的工作。 6.About 23 million people over the age of 21 were not married in America by 1996. 21岁以上的约2300万人在1996年没有结婚在美国 A.T B.F ：B 7.Most of men usually get married at the age
