Could you tell me the way to ____ Johnsons, please?--Sorry, we don’t have ____ Johnson here in the village.A. the; the B. the; a C. /; the D. the; / 答案:BAlthough 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(过道).
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 ways it’s possible
to find much more than food at a grocery store.
