SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：M: I think intermarriage is a good idea. We get so many different races living together peacefully.

W: Personally, I feel that it's not a very sound idea. It's difficult for two persons of entirely different religions to share a life together. They will face lots of problems.

M: Of course there'll be problems. Even two persons of the same religion have problems, except that it will be slightly less difficult.

W: I agree with you, Henry. Naturally, there'll be arguments and personal differences. A couple will have to learn to adapt to each other's customs and traditions.

M: That's right. Married people should be more tolerant towards each other and their traditions. Only then can understanding and acceptance be achieved finally.

W: You talk as if it were very simple. It isn't, you know, as I'm a child of a mixed marriage.

M: Why is it not such a good idea?

W: It's only after marriage that the vast differences in the cultures begin to show. Little things, from food and clothes to bigger aspects like religious beliefs, tend to clash. This will be either personal pride or the reluctance to accept the other's views. It may lead to a big gap between the parents, and children may suffer in between.

M: You have a point there, but I can also tell you of several such couples who are living happily together,

W: I suppose that you're right. Intermarriage can lead to happiness or sorrow, depending on how it's handled.

Which word may best describe the two speakers' positions on intermarriage?

A．Comparison.

B．Causality.

C．Bias.

D．Contrast.
