Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Nevertheless most American people get married at the present time. Fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a second time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the twenty-first century most American people will marry three or four times in one life-time. Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form of serial marriages. In his new book Fortune Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modem society, people’s marriages don’t stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes: and their circle of friends. So, the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband and wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don’t share the same interest any more. For this reason, Toffler says, people in the twenty-first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.

According to the passage, why do some American people marry more than one person in their life-time?
通过四个选项可推断问题可能询问原因。由"Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage...frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends."可知现代社会,人们频繁的更换工作、住所、朋友圈子,因此多次结婚是因为喜欢变化。故正确答案为D)。
