Most people dislike making a fuss. But
19、 if something you have bought is (31) or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking (32) a favour to get it put right. It is the shopkeepers responsibility (33) take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, because he is the person wit
20、h (34) you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may have a part to play but that comes later.Complaints should be made to a responsible (35) . Go back to the shop (36) you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. Ask to see the owner in a large store. In a small (37) t

28、.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In the past two years Ive phoned, e-mailed and dined with three potential “ideal husbands. “ (This is according to the aunts or cousins who talk up the suitors to my parents. Marriage brokering is a favorite pastime for my extended family. ) The investment banker was my fi
29、rst blind date. The timing couldnt have been worse. Hed made his mark and was searching for a full-fledged adult companion, not a recent journalism-school graduate who spent most of lunch whining about being unemployed.After that came drinks with the San Francisco-based attorney. He rattled on about
30、 himself for an hour and then we said polite goodbyes. It was a superficial meeting, as initial conversations usually are. Two days later he sent me a long e-mail explaining that he wasnt ready for a serious commitment-which was a shame because Id already mailed the invitations, set up the bridal re
31、gistry and commissioned the cake.Finally, there was the multimedia artist raised in London. We had been e-mailing each other for a few months and, for the most part, it was a pleasant exchange. When we met in person, he complimented my apartment, but said he would like it better if I werent in it (I
32、 think he was joking). He made me see “Deep Impact. “ Enough said.Obviously, none of these gentlemen wound up being “the one. “ And compared with the agony that can follow a breakup after just a few months of dating, I came out relatively unscathed. However, just because there wasnt an emotional inv
33、estment, the rejection didnt smart any less.In my most dire moments I consider surrendering my marital future to the scientists at the University of Hawaii who successfully cloned a couple of mice. If I could take elements of my three suitors and fuse them together, maybe I would have the perfect ma
34、n. I could just relax while genetic engineering caught up with my needs. Of course, I dont see the anxious aunts and cousins waiting it out with me. In fact, my father seems keen on sending me on an extended holiday to India. I can just picture myself rolling out of Calcutta customs, bleary eyed and

That would be great, wouldnt it?New “fake fat“ products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but
40、not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients and can also cause unpleasant side effects in
41、some people. So its up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers create
42、d a fat that cant be digested at all.Normally, special chemicals in the intestines “grab“ molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.The fatty acids are absorbed by the intesti
43、nes and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for th
44、e intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say its that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the
45、 body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids, compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. E
46、ven so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.（分数：5.00）(1).We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that _.A. contains plenty of nutrientsB. renders
47、foods calorie-free while retaining their vitaminsC. makes foods easily digestibleD. makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be _.A. commercially useless B. just as anticipatedC. somewhat controversial D
48、. quite unexpected（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that _.A. it passes through the intestines without being absorbedB. it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the bodyC. it helps reduce the incidence of heart diseaseD. it prevents excessive intake of vitamins（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).W
