Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(過道) .
With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.
1.What do many single people in Pairs complain about?
A. The difficulty in meeting people.
B. The idea of supermarket dating.
C. The items on their grocery list.

A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris.
B. The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.
C. People looking for love must get a basket of a particular colour
D. The dating supermarket has very good business.
3.According to the writer, a possible way to win a woman’s heart is to _______.
A. pick up a purple basket
B. Buy low-fat food
C. embellish your appearance
D. buy pet food
4.Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?

The biggest danger facing airlines nowadays may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with portable computer in business class. In the last 16 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference (電磁干擾). The source of this interference remains not proved, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTC.A. an organization which advises the aviation (航空 )industry, has suggested that all airlines ban such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight particularly take- off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights .Cur- rently , rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some air- lines prevent passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are un- willing to carry out a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flight.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices send out radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory. they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be. dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be fragile to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can 't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.
1.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 16 years?
A. They may have been caused by the damage to-the radio systems.
B. They may have taken place during take-off and landing.
C. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.
D. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
2.Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane 's computers?
A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.
C. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
D. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
3.Few airlines want to perform a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because_______
A. they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C. most passengers refused to take a plane ,which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
4.The passage is mainly about_________.
A. a new rule for all airlines
B. the disadvantages of electronic devices
C. a possible cause of aircraft incidents
D. effective safety measures for air flight

Pilling a cat can be a 'terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳機), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
1.Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
2.Which of the following statements is true according to the second paragraph?
A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.

3.Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A. facing to the right B. with your right hand C. at the head D. on your lap firmly

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,“It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?”
1.What’ s the result of the research mentioned in the text?
A. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
B. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
2.It was found in the research that________.
A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out
B. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
C. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians
D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
3.Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)________way.
A. doubtful B. favorable
C. negative D. objective
4.What’ s the best title for the text?
A. Get more IQ points!
B. Be a vegetarian, please!
C. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian
D. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
