11、tractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbr

12、oker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful,

13、 “l(fā)iberated,” modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.These

14、romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(體裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44

15、 billion (more than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, thats not at all surprising).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that

16、only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I wa

17、s quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the womens liberation movementcontinue to enjoy themselves in the fanciful tales?Im not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly somet

18、hing is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen sto

19、od, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desir

20、es and attitudes of untold millions of her peersthat is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women

21、 were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,_.1、What is the function of the opening paragraph?ATo summarize the whole passage.BTo prove the author

Children like and want to read and seek out, because every child is different. They can find the stories they n

25、eed, and they bring themselves to stories. Here are some books children should read.The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyThis book tells the story of a stranded (陷入困境的)airplane pilot，who meets an otherworldly little prince in the Sahara desert.

32、have become very popular across the United States. They give people a chance to enjoy something they might not eat normally, like National Onion (洋蔥) Ring Day, for example. Food holidays also give restaurants and other businesses a chance to promote their products.But where did these American “holid

33、ays” come from? Many are the invention of an Alabama man, John-Bryan Hopkins. He writes about food for his Foodimentary. com website. Hopkins told Time magazine that when he began his site in 2006, there were only 175 “holidays.” “I filled in the rest,” he said.The National Day Calendar has a list o

34、f all the different food and non-food related “holidays.” In the past, the website used to let anyone create their own dayfor a price. But now, the site only accepts requests from businesses and other organizations.While some food “holidays” are indeed made-up, many have historical roots. For exampl

She wrote, “I get that some people might be excited by, say, National Doughnut Day. But you really can have a doughnut any day you want!”Tavi Juarez, also of

37、 Foodimentary. com, thinks national food holidays are here to stay. She told the Seattle Times, “In my modest opinion, I believe that food holidays will continue to grow in popularity online because theres a lot of negativity (消極) out there.

40、ring the festive season doesnt just drive us mad the songs also make us more careless with our money, research has warned.While repeated performance of Jingle Bells may seem like an innocent attempt to raise customers spirits during the nightmare of Christmas shopping, the songs also have a more del

41、icate impact.“Background music, or “Muzak”, can be used by marketers to impose cultures such as the commercialization of Christmas onto consumers and influence their behaviour,” experts said.Dr. Alan Bradshaw of Royal Holloway, University of London, said, “Festive jingles are force-fed to Christmas

42、shoppers in a bid to change their mood, influence their sense of time and what sort of products they buy. In other words, this is an attempt to control your shopping habits in a way that you might hardly be aware of.”“Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but du

43、ring Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.”Dr. Bradshaw and Prof Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier to contro

44、l their behaviour.It is thought that slowing down the rhythm of music in shops can trick customers into thinking less time has passed, and therefore spend more time examining the shelves, for example.Some providers of background music have been known to promote their services by claiming they can bo

45、ost profits by controlling the behaviour of customers.“A common trick is to take a popular current song and record an instrumental version which can be slowed down or sped up at different time of the day to influence behaviour in different ways,” Dr. Bradshaw said.Background music is often classed a

In the summer of 2014, her schedule

49、 was packed with friends, marriage celebrationsflowers filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not, they were thrown out. Law, then 27, was confident she could find a better use for them.By August, she had a plan: convince couples and co

50、mpanies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience volunteering with non-profits in order to set up her own organization, which she called

51、 Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most, “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldnt possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were

52、 a gift, and we talked for a half hour.”In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. Theleme is a volunteer for Les Petits Fieres, an organization that aims to help the elderly who dont have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouque

53、ts from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is flowers before bread,” says Theleme. “We dont focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋養(yǎng)) the spirit. Floranthropie helps that. Its amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”In the beginning, most of Flo

54、ranthropies donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organizations Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers.
