Reаd this аrticle, аnd then answer the questiоns that fоllоw it. Preparing Students for Real Life (1) The bridegroom, dressed in a blue jacket and brown suede Adidas sneakers, nervously cleared his throat when his bride, in traditional white, walked down the classroom aisle. As the pretend minister led the students—and ten other couples in the room—through the familiar marriage ceremony, the giggles almost drowned him out. But it was no laughing matter. In the next semester, each “couple” would buy a house, have a baby—and get a divorce. (2) In a most unusual course at Parkrose Senior High School in Oregon, social-science teacher Cliff Allen leads his students through the trials and tribulations of married life. Instead of the traditional course, which focuses on the psychological and sexual adjustments young married couples must face, Allen exposes his students to the nitty-gritty problems of housing, insurance and child care. “No one tells kids about financial problems,” says Allen, 36. “It’s like sex—you don’t talk about it in front of them.” (3) Students act out in nine weeks what normally takes couples ten years to accomplish. In the first week, one member of each couple is required to get an after-school job—a real one. During the semester, the salary, computed on a full-time basis with yearly increases factored in, serves as the guideline for their lifestyle. The third week, the couples must locate an available apartment they can afford on their salary and study the terms of the lease. (4) Disaster strikes! In the fifth week, the couples “have a baby” and then compute the cost by totaling hospital and doctor bills, prenatal and postnatal care, baby clothes and furniture. In week eight, disaster strikes: the marriages are strained to the breaking point by such difficulties as a mother-in-law moving in, someone going to jail or death. It’s all over by week nine (the tenth year of marriage). After lectures by marriage counselors and divorce lawyers and computations of alimony and child support, the students get divorced. (5) Allen’s course, which has “married” 1,200 students since it began five years ago, is widely supported by parents and students. Some of the participants have found the experience humbling to their real-life marital plans. “Bride” Valerie Payne, 16, and her “groom,” David Cooper, 18, still plan to marry, but, said Cooper, the course pointed out “the troubles you can have,” so they may put off getting married until they both have good jobs. The course was more unsettling to Marianne Baldrica, 17, who tried “marriage” last term with her boyfriend, Eric Zook, 18. “Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together,” Marianne said. “But I told him I wanted to live in the city; he said he wanted to live in the country. He also wanted a lot of kids, but I wasn't sure I wanted any kids. It’s been four weeks since the course ended, and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again.” Marianne isn’t sure if her relationship with her boyfriend will survive now that they know so much more about each other’s expectations. Indeed, the course can be a real eye-opener for students who are on the cusp of becoming adults. -Linda Bird Francke with Mary Alice Kellogg in Parkrose, OR (adapted) nitty-gritty=important and practical details on the cusp=at the point of change happening EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHAT THE WORDS IN BOLD IN THE READING MEAN. 1. giggles 2. tribulations 3. postnatal 4. unsettling 5. eye-opener
