Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The website “Farmers ” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for c offee at nine o’clock at night, when she h ad to start her day at five the next morning.
So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on ‘Farmers ’. But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland. ”
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the sire listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.

Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that anxious feeling that our precious life is slipping away while we’re doing something so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable.Some people camp outside Apple st ores for an entire night just to get their hands on the latest product. But waiting 10 minutes in a grocery store just to buy a drink? Forget it.
Our behavior when waiting is only partly decided by the length of the wait. “Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself,” notes the MIT researcher Richard Larson.
One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is solved in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to mirrors in elevators so that we can check our appearance.
We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studie s show that we are much more patient when we are given an idea of how long we’ll be waiting.
Walt Disney Co knows this better than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson，these times are overestimated so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy.
But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our sense of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first served. Any departure from this principle is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue anger.
You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line zoom ahead of you, cursing yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line. In order to solve this probl em，the serpentine （蛇形） line was invented. The serpentine line guides all customers into one big snaking queue，separated by ropes or barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next available server, or teller, or customs official. The serpentine line isn’t always faster than multi-lines before an array （排） of cash registers. But it offers important comfort: you absolutely never have to see
someone arrive after you and get served b efore you.
In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smartphone will also do.

A.why people are crazy about Apple’s products
B.people waste their precious time in queuing
C.waiting time is not the only cause for people’s hate in queuing
D.the psychology is the real reason why people hate to wait in lines

D.offering people magazines to read when waiting in lines
7.Serpentine line is invented to .
A.make the waiting line move faster
B.guarantee the first-come-first-se rved principle

D.guide all customers into one big snaking queue

Dear Patti,
I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies. As you know it, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracting to it and I have fallen in
love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have been spent lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching for the Web for more information about football. As the result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major objective is to learn more knowledges in school, I can’t concentrate my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a senior two middle school student, so I’ll have my own business even when I g row up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I can’t stop myself into getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressing and want to know how to deal with the contradiction between my studies and hobbies.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
