The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad. She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?
Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novels—smart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.
These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):
*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).
*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, that’s not at all surprising).
* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).
*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).
I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement—continue to enjoy themselves in the fanciful tales?
I’m not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the women’s liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”
Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers—that is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?
Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,______.
1.What is the function of the opening paragraph?
A. To summarize the whole passage. B. To prove the author’s argument.
C. To lead in the main topic of the passage. D. To raise problems that will be solved later.

D. Romance novels are an essential part of contemporary life.
3.In the author’s opinion, what is missing in the lives of contemporary women?

4.Which sentence can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?
A. they prefer tales of innocent romance to classics
B. they are unhappy with how the world has turned out

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust (信任)is a learned behavior(习得行为) that we gain from past experiences(以往经历). 1.Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately，we’ve all been victims of betrayal（背信）.Whether we’ve been stolen from，lied被欺骗 to，misled被误导，or cheated on被哄骗，there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore（有时候人们就是不能再信任别人）. 2. It’s understandable（可理解的），but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship（人际关系） again，we have some steps you can take to get you there.
3. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome结果 would be for your well-being幸福.
4.If you’ve been betrayed(如果你遭遇了背叛)，you are the victim(受害者) of your circumstance(客观环境).But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”(“受害者的心态”).At some point in all of our lives，we’ll have our trust tested or violated. 被破坏
You didn’t lose “everything”.Once trust is lost，what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle角度，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.5.Instead，it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room余地 for positive growth and forgiveness(宽恕).
A.Learn to really trust yourself.
B.It is putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任).
C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.
AB.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again. .(他们曾经受过严重伤害，不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)
AC.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
AD.Seeing the positive（积极的） side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring(忽视) what happened.

Given that many people’s moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drug store of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is ＂green＂. made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆).cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste.

A. It serves as a suitable gift.学.科.网Z.X.X .B. It works as an effective medicine.
