第一篇Trying to Find a Parther One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people inbterviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with. Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationshipsDoes modern life really make it harder to fall in loveOr are we making it harder for ourselves It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn’t expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children. But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence. In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged. Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster (牡蛎),you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl. But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice. The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression. We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn’t,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don’t put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership. Which of the following was NOT a constraint on one’s choice of soulmate in the old days

A. The health condition of his or her grandmother.
B. The geographical environment.
C. The social convention.
D. The family tradition.

(三)背景资料某施工总承包单位承担一项建筑基坑工程的施工。基坑开挖深度12m,基坑南侧距坑边6m 处有一栋6 层住宅楼。基坑土质状况从地面向下依次为:杂填土0~2m,粉质土2~5m,砂质土15~10m,粘性土哟10 ~12m,砂质土12~18m。上层滞水水位在地表以下5m(渗透系数为0.5m/d),地表下18m 以内无承压水。基坑支护设计采用灌注桩加锚杆。施工前,建设单位为节约投资,指示更改设计,除南侧外其余三面均采用土钉墙支护,垂直开挖:基坑在开挖过程中北侧支护出现较大变形,但一直未被发现,最终导致北侧支护部分坍塌。事故调查中发现:(1)施工总承包单位对本工程作了重大危险源分析,确认南侧毗邻建筑物、临边防护、上下通道的安全为重大危险源,并制订了相应的措施,但未审批。(2)施工总承包单位有健全的安全制度文件。(3)施工过程中元任何安全检查记录、交底记录及培训教育记录等其他记录资料。问题 根据《建筑施工安全检查标准》(JGJ 59-99)基坑支护安全检查评分表的要求,本基坑支护工程还应检查哪些项目?
