【題目】Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adult 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 1.8 meters 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 6:30 and 9:00 p.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.

【題目】The American state of Colorado is considering a ban on smartphones for children younger than 13.
A Denver-based doctor - and father - is leading the effort. Tim Farnum is the founder of a group called ‘Parents Against Underage Smartphones.' His proposal would ban sales of smartphones to children under the age of 13. It would also ban sales to anyone who wishes to buy such a device for anyone younger than 13. The measure would also require sellers of smartphones to provide proof to the state government that they have asked buyers if the phone is for anyone under 13.
The measure now needs about 300,000 signatures in order to appear on Colorado's statewide ballot (投票權(quán))next year. If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, Colorado would become the first state to have such a ban.
Tim Farnum said he decided to push for the measure after watching his own children struggle with the mental effects of always having a smartphone around. "They would get the phones andlockthemselves in the room and change who they were," he told The Coloradoan newspaper.
State Senator John Kefalas, a Democrat, said he understands the reasoning behind the proposed law. However, he told The Coloradoan that a child's smartphone usage is a "family matter" and not something the government should decide. "Ultimately, this comes down to parenting,” he said, “making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk.”
Last year, the AAP (the American Academy of Pediatrics) releasedguidelinesfor media use by children. The group advised parents to limit time spent watching videos to no more than one hour a day of high-quality programming until age 6. After that, it said, parents should set reasonable time limits for their children and make sure electronic devices do not take time away from sleep or exercise.
【1】What’s NOT right about Tim Farnum’s proposal?
A. It will be passed by the state of Colorado next year
B. It needs 300,000 signatures to gain the ballot
C. It bans buying smartphones for children under 13.
D. It bans selling smartphones to children under 13.
【2】What’s the driving force of Tim Farnum’s proposal?
A. Other parents’ request
B. His own children’s addiction to Smartphones
C. Smartphones’ harm to children’s health
D. The guidelines released by the AAp.
【3】What’s the attitude of John Kefalas toward Tim Farnum’s proposal?
A. Positive B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving D. Unconcerned
【4】From the last paragraph, we can infer that______
A. children under 6 shouldn’t watch videos
B. parents are to blame for children’s media use
C. parents should control children’s media use
D. electronic devices won’t affect children’s sleep
