Ive had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend s

17、uggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.”Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party you go to a strangers house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the

18、same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“Its like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put

19、the TV back and its my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings shes had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make mo

20、ney out of it?“I dont,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. Im good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isnt about money. Its about a different eating experience.”And what about inviting compl

21、ete strangers into her house?

Sensitive.CTrained dogs might just be the proof that they really are mens best friends not only because they can fill laundr

24、y baskets, but because they can now use washing machines with just a simple bark.Thanks to the new washing machine - the Woof to Wash”，a lot of people can benefit from the invention, which enables trained dogs to unlock the machine with a footpad and start it with a simple bark. A doggy footpad and

25、a microphone system have been added, which can recognize a dogs bark，which means that dogs are able to unlock the machine by pressing the pad with their paw, pull a rope with their mouth to open the machine, and close the machine again with their nose, before starting the washer by barking.Dr. John

26、Middleton is a great inventor. The disabled owners who are blind or have autism (孤独症)problems or learning difficulties, cant use the present-day washing machines. So he thought theres a lot of demand for the new washing machines to make things easier. Then he saw a video from the charity Support Dog

27、s, where a dog makes the bed and loads the washing machine. He was completely blown away by the video at that moment. He was inspired that he could invent a machine which the dog could operate. Mr. Middleton said, “Im happy I saw the video. A normal washing machine can be very challenging, so the si

28、ngle program machine is very helpful. But a lot of people also have speech problems, so a voice-activated machine is handy. The Support Dogs charity was set up in 1992. Dogs are trained here using voice commands and hand signals, so that they can help their owners fetch post, turn on light switches,

29、 open doors, assist in dressing and undressing, as well as do a complete laundry cycle.

32、 got hurt by the dog in the video.B. Mr. Middleton wanted to have a similar dog in the video.C. Mr. Middleton was deeply impressed by the video.D. Mr. Middleton wanted to make the same video.31 What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To help protect animals. B. To prove dogs useful.C. To

33、collect suggestions. D. To attract sponsorship.DBiologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct, because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behavior is found in some other animals. In humans the purpose of all 5the desire is t

34、o focus attention on the raising of offspring. Children demand an unusual amount of parenting, and two parents are better than one. Love is a signal that both partners are committed, and makes it more likely that this commitment will continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence.

35、But what does science have to say about the notion of love at first sight?In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love. Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love, a dozen different part of brain work together to rel

36、ease chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria, bonding and excitement. It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair-bonding love.Passionate love is rooted in the reward

37、 circuitry of the brainthe same area that is active when humans feel a rush from cocaine. In fact, the desire, motivations and withdrawals involved in love have a great deal in common with addiction. Its most intense forms tend to be associated with the early stages of a relationship, which then giv

38、e way to a calmer attachment form of love one feels with a long term partner.What all this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brain of another. Love at first sight, then, is only possible if the mechanism for generating long-term attachment can be triggered quick

39、ly. There are signs that it can be. One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person. This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness, although men may favor women with waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, no matter what their overall

40、weight is. (This ratio may indicate a womans reproductive health.)Another piece of evidence comes from work by a psychologist at Ben-Gurion University, who found in a survey that a small percentage (11%) of people in long-term relationships said that they began with love at first sight. In other wor

41、ds, in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond. It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period, and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers.One might also assume that if a p

42、erson is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly, such as compassion, intellect or a good sense of humor, then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight. Those more concerned with visual appearances, though, might find this easier. So i

43、t appears that love at first sight exists, but is not a very common basis for long-term relationships.32.When a person falls in love, _.A. he feels as if he were addicted to cocaine.B. he will be committed to the beloved as long as necessary.C. he will experience complex feelings brought on by diffe

44、rent regions of his brain.D. he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love.33.We can infer from the passage that _.A. pair-bonding love comes from a long stable friendship.B. the mechanism for creating long-term attachment ensures love at first sightC. it is im

45、possible for those ordinary-looking people to fall in love at first sight.D. men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable 6reproductive capacity.34.The underlined word “traits” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. characteristicsB. something typical in your temperC. partic

46、ular quantities in your personalityD. attitudes that show your moral standards35.Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. The stages of passionate loveB. The science of love at first sightC. The biological construct of pair-bondingD. The mechanism for generating long-term love第
