US floral sales for Mother’s Day，celebrated yesterday，will fall thirteen percent this year to$2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17.65，according to the National Retail Federation’s estimates.

education, immigration or employment. IELTS tests listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture of accents and spellings, including British English and American English.
The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred and twenty countries. And, yes, that includes the United States. The many American schools that accepted IELTS can be found on the Web at ielts. org.
Some schools accept both TOEFL and IELTS, but the graduate school at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it prefers IELTS.
The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes IELTS, but people have a choice of reading and writing tests－either academic or general training.
The listening test takes thirty minutes. There are forty questions based on a recording.
The reading test takes sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.
The writing test also takes sixty minutes. Students have to write two essays. One essay has to be at least one hundred and fifty words long and the other at least two hundred and fifty words.The shorter one is a description of something; the longer one has to support and argue.
The speaking test takes less than fifteen minutes. The score is based on a recorded talk between the student and a test examiner.
And that’s the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. If you have

Marriages improve after children grow up and move out, according to an academic study，which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.
Popular wisdom has it that parents’relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop，because they feel they have lost their purpose in life. However, a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.
In total, 123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying, when they were bringing up babies, once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”．
Although not all said they were happier in general, most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home. Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together, but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.
One of the participants in the study, which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said，“Once the kids grow up... there’s some of that stress removed... that responsibility removed, so things are a little more relaxed.”
Psychologist Sara Gorchoff, who carried out the investigation, said, “The takehome message for couples with young children is‘hang in there’”. Her coauthor Oliver John added：“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”
However, Dr Dorothy Rowe, from the British Psychological Society, said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’relationship with their children. “If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life, then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go，” she said，“But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribly lonely. For some parents, their world falls apart when their children leave.”
9．It is commonly believed that________.
A．marriages improve after children leave home B．an “empty nest” is always a happy thing
C．parents’relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move out D．parents will be pleased after their children leave home
10．When did many couples feel happier according to the study? A. At age 61, when almost all had“empty nests”． B. Shortly after marrying.
