3. Passage Twenty-FiveOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship.But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed (有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships.The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile (介绍)is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli.J.Finkel explained, “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet.However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match.com, does not reveal much about them.Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms (算法)employed by sites such as eHarmony.com to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love.While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr.Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar.“There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr.Finkel said.The phrase “lend themselves to” (Para.3)probably means ().

9、Prices determine how resources are to be used.They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed(定量配给)among buyers.The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a variety of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public services.The interrelationships(相互关系)of all these prices make up the “system” of prices.The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

1. Passage ElevenDoctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and breast cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.Some people express anger openly in a calm and reasonable way.Others burst with anger, screaming and yelling.But still others keep their anger inside.They cannot or will not express it.This is called (repressing)anger.For years some doctors claim that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.They say that in both situations the brain of an angry person releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙).They spend the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar level in the blood.As a result, the angry person feels excited and is ready to react.The violent reaction may lead to high blood pressure.However, some other doctors argue that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.They believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of heart disease.Most doctors agree that it is important to learn how to deal with anger.They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If so, you should not express your anger immediately and try to wait until your anger has cooled down, so that you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.They also believe that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.After all, it is much healthier to laugh than to get angry.In Paragraph 2, “repressing” means ().

8、I have always wondered at the passion many people have to meet the celebrated(名人).The “advantage” you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that your are yourself of small account.The celebrated develop a technique(技艺,技能)to deal with the persons they come across.They show the world a mask, often an impressive one, but take care to conceal(隐藏)their real selves.They play the part that is expected from them, and with practice learn to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds(符合)with the man within.

1. Passage Thirty-TwoHave you ever heard of a pawpaw (木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad.Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America.Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S.At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers.Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S.president, who especially liked them cold.Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S.president, was also a fan of the fruit.He planted pawpaws at his home in Virginia.He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France.American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially.The fruit requires a very special environment—low, wet areas that sometimes flood.It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October.In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting.This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit.In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food.At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.Many American people do not know that the pawpaw ().
