16、 to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. Im very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking ideas come while Im in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be with whom.Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wan

17、ted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970. Over the

18、 last few years weve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. Of course there are impos

19、sible people, those who will never settle. Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest

20、 and direct and told him, “But a woman cant start to love you if your shirt smells.” The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love. 56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. On Being a Matchmaker B. Dealing with PeopleC. Matchma

21、kers and Clients D. The Most Satisfying Job57. What does the author mean by saying “Im very organized”?A. She is especially capable of organizing things.B. She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.C. She likes to remember things she has to do.D. She always finishes what she does on time.58.

She was interested in social problems.59. From the authors experience given in the last paragraph, we can conc

23、lude that to be a good matchmaker, sometimes it is better for one to be _.A. direct B. kind C. hard working D. organizedBWe have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions (情感) towards other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, lov

24、e has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold.First, love is a very complex (复杂的) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many extreme emotions, extreme love is generally not a problem; thus les

25、s medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a lasting, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also includes feelings of caring, protection and excitement. When two p

26、eople are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each others company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: “puppy” love, romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they differ in some resp

27、ects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we envy him. We might even love someone and, at the same time,

28、 hate him for some specific reason. Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes a

29、nd sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.60.In the parts previous to the passage youve just read, the author has probably been
