	To show the differences, a survey was conducted among American, Chinese and Indian students to determine their attitudes towards love and marriage. Belove is a summary of each group’s responses to the four key values. 
 Physical attractiveness : The Americans are much more concerned than the Indians and the Chinese with physical attractiveness when choosing a wife or a husband. They also agree that a wife should maintain her beauty and appearance after marriage. 
4. The word “demand” in the sixth paragraph mostly means ______
