15．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 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 1.8meters 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 6：30and 9：00p．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．
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．

24．What do many single people in Pairs complain about？A
A．The difficulty in finding a match．
B．The idea of supermarket dating．
C．The items on their grocery list．

B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings．
C．Only single people can shop in the supermarket．
D．The dating supermarket has very good business．
26．How do love shoppers meet one another？B
A．They schedule their meeting in advance．
B．They go through a special checkout．
C．They pick out their groceries with great care．
D．They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items．
27．Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating？C
A．The supermarket dating is more convenient．
B．The supermarket dating is more fun．
C．The supermarket dating is more trustworthy．
D．The supermarket dating is more economical．

7．When was the last time you had fun with your parents？Your parents are all busy during working days； during the weekends，you may want to hang out with them but they may have to work extra hours．
This is not uncommon．In China，both of the parents have their jobs．Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances，but they seldom have time to stay with their children．A recent survey done in the US found that more than half of American parents spend less than three hours having fun with their children each week．
As the Daily Mail noted：Families are spending little quality time creating bonds and precious memories together during the week because of the demands of modern life．

3．結(jié)合自己的經(jīng)歷，談?wù)劯改付嗯惆楹⒆訉?duì)其孩子的影響．
【寫作要求】
1．寫作過(guò)程中不能直接引用原文語(yǔ)句；
2．作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱；
3．不必寫標(biāo)題．
Suggested version：
Nowadays，it is not uncommon that parents spend little time accompanying their children，which may result from the demands of modern life and some other reasons．（26）
There are many factors accounting for this phenomenon．First，in contemporary society parents are facing more stress from living and work than before，so they have to spend most of their time making money．In addition，parents today are more easily distracted by various electronic products when keeping their children company．
Take my own experience for example．Once upon a time，I got into trouble in my studies．It was my parents'company and comfort that had a great effect on my regaining self-confidence．Plain and peaceful as it was，this experience left an unforgettable impression on me，which is of great significance to my growth．．

10．My father had always been an alert observer of human character．It was always a challenge to see if any of my（56）boyfriends （boyfriend） could pass Dad's test．After Dad died，I wondered （57）how I'd figure it out on my own．
Then Jack arrived on the scene．He was different （58）from any other guy I'd dated．My brother Rick loudly announced （59）that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I （60）had brought （bring） home．Jack passed my family's test．But what about Dad's？
Then came my mother's birthday．We rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom．"How about this？"Jack said，（61）pointing （point） at a beautiful white corsage（胸花）．
On the way home，Jack was （62）unusually （unusual） quiet．"I think we should get married，"he suddenly said．"Yes，"I whispered．We both sat dumbfounded，tears running down our cheeks．If only Dad were here （63）to give （ give） his final （64）approval （approve）．
My mother opened the door．"Happy Birthday!"we shouted．Jack handed the box to her．She opened it up．Suddenly，her eyes were filled with tears．"Mom，what's wrong？"I asked．"I'm sorry，"she said with an （65）amazed （amaze） smile．"This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received．I was given one years ago，long before you kids were born．""From who？"I asked．"Your father gave me one long before we were engaged．"

20．Why play games？Because they are fun，and a lot more besides．Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…These are all"game"ideas that you will come across throughout your life．
Think about some of the games you played as a young child，such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek．Such games are entertaining and fun．But perhaps more importantly，they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such an taking turns and cooperating（合作）．
Many children's games have a practical side．Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups．For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（協(xié)調(diào)）needed in hunting．
Many sports encourage national or local pride．The most famous games of all，the Olympic Games，bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition．People who watch the event wave flags，knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country，not just the athlete who earned it．For countries experiencing natural disasters or war，an Olympic win can mean so much．
Sports are also an event that unites people．Soccer is the most popular sport in the world．People on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living．Nicolette Iribarne，a Californian soccer player，has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer．He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future．
Next time you play your favorite game or sport，think about why you enjoy it，what skills are needed，and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life．

29．Through playing hide-and-seek，children are expected to learn toB．
A．be a team leader  
B．obey the basic rules act
C．a(chǎn)s a grown-up    
D．predict possible danger
30．The underlined part in Paragraph 2most probably means that games canC．
A．describe life in an exciting way
B．turn real-life experiences into a play
C．make learning life skills more interesting
D．change people's views of sporting events
31．According to the passage，why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging？A
A．It inspires people's deep love for the country．
B．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners．
C．It helps the country out of natural disasters．
D．It earns the winners fame and fortune．
32．What can be inferred from the passage？A
A．Games benefit people all their lives．
B．Sports can get all athletes together．
C．People are advised to play games for fun．
D．Sports increase a country's competitiveness．

17．Japan's post-World War II value system of hard work is changing．Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become a"Me Generation"．
"Around 1980many Japanese deserted the values of economic success and began searching for new sets of values to bring them happiness，"writes sociologist Yasuhiro．Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual pursuit of happiness and less on the values of work，family，and society．
Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work，unlike their peers in the United States and Korea．In a 1993survey，only 10% of the Japanese regarded work as a primary value，compared with 47% of their Korean peers and 27% of American students．A greater percentage of Japanese preferred easy jobs without heavy responsibility．
Family values are losing among younger Japanese as they pursue private satisfaction．Data shows that only 2304of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents．It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are losing both respect for their parents and a sense of responsibility to the family．
Individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among the very young．According to 1991data，50% of Japanese youth can be labeled"self-centered"To earn the label，the young people reply positively to such ideas as"I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values"
Diminishing social responsibility is tied to individualism．A study comparing society-conscious youth found that the Japanese had slipped far behind American and Australian students．Only 11% of Japanese youth said they get personal satisfaction in doing something on behalf of society while four limes as many Americans said so．
The New （71）Generation in Japan
They are searching for new sets of values that could make them（72）happywhile deserting （73）traditionalvalue system，such as：Work：They，unlike their peers in the U．S．a(chǎn)nd Korea，become less （75）patientwith work and （76）preferredeasy jobs without heavy responsibility．
（74）Family：Data shows many younger-generation Japanese are not （77）respectfulto their parents and losing a sense of responsibility to the family，and some even wouldn't（78）supporttheir aged parents．
Society：Japanese youngsters have （79）slippedbehind American and Australian students in social consciousness because they are"self-centered"．（80）Threetimes more Americans than Japanese can get personal satisfaction in doing something on behalf of society．
