I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are here for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.
It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew, it was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I suddenly felt my wife’s hope was slim. I told her that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we di d not, I was OK with that too.
As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.
I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at m e, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this m oment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.
24. How did the author feel when going into the store?
A. The crowd was like small fish.
B. They might not get the bike.
C. He was excited to do the shopping.
D. The whistle was blown too late.
25. What happened when the author was buying the bike?
A. He was scared by a man’s look at first.
B. A gentleman bought the bike for him.
C. A stranger helped him lift the box.
D. He gave up the bike he first touched.
26. What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Look before you leap.
B. Custom is a second nature.
C. Doing is better than saying.
D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Black Friday Sales
B. My son’s best bike
C. The best Christmas gift
D. A strange gentleman
C
Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults 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 anoth er’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.
28. What do many single people in Pairs complain about?
A. The difficulty in finding a match.
B. The idea of supermarket dating.
C. The items on their grocery list.
D. The inconvenience in shopping.
29. Which of the following can be inferred(推断) but is not clearly stated in the
second paragraph?
A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris.
B. The dati ng supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.
C. Only single people can shop in the supermarket.
D. The dating supermarket has very good business.
30. How do love shoppers meet one another?
A. They schedule their meeting in advance.
B. They go through a special checkout.
C. They pick out their groceries with great care.
D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.
31. Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?
A. The supermarket dating is more convenient.
B. The supermarket dating is more fun.
C. The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.
D. The supermarket dating is more economical.
D
The World Health Organization (WHO) says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.
Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.
The U.N. agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes(糖尿病) cases. There are more than 400 million cases of the disease worldwide. The WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every year. It says the use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major reason for the increase in rates of obesity and diabetes.
Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency. He told VOA that taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Wayanivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent dr op in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.
The WHO says people should limit the amount of sugar they consume. It says they should keep their sugar intake to below 10 perc ent of their total energy needs, and reduce it to less than 5 percent for improved health.
32. Why are taxes on sugary drinks required?
A. To limit their use and popularity.
B. To readjust the economic structure.

D. Obesity is most serious in developed countries.
34. What does the underlined word “enacted” mean in the passage?

B. Pass
C. Promise
D. Reduce

Children do not think the way adults do.
