Two thirds of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to smokers, to Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegans (素食者). Technology has brought about a great change in the dating game.
A survey by Parship, a British branch of Europe's largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year.
A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed that a figure of two third feel it all right. “Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don’t have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage,” she said.
There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parship says that 50 per cent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, up from 35 per cent six months ago.
Mary Balfour, the founder, says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. “It’s like a return to old-fashioned love letters,” she said. “You don’t base your initial judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating website, introduction agency or personal ad. They have to, because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives. They’re much more likely to end the day with a DVD and a can of beer than by going to a village dance.”
39. Singles in Britain can look for love online mainly because of ________.
A. Parship B. the help of go-betweens
C. technology D. the revolution of dating game
40. About ________ Britons tried to find love online last year according to this passage.
A. 1.5 million B. 3.5 million
C. 5.4 million D. 65 million
41. For those who want to look for love online, they _________.
A. don’t need to do any research at all
B. have to meet first before they can e-mail each other
C. don’t have to find a go-between.
D. must go to an actual dating agency office first
42. From this passage we can infer that ________.
A. not all single people believe the Internet can help them find their partners
B. looking for love online needs a lot of courage
C. old-fashioned love letters become popular again
D. single people don’t like to look for their partners online.
43. The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. young men like to surf the Internet B. singles are searching for love online
C. surfing online for a lover is dangerous D. people should avoid the old ways of dating

Studying Abroad
In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.
There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studies abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live alone without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much higher there than at home.
In my opinion advantages are more than disadvantages. So it is a good idea to attend schools abroad.
