On Being a Matchmaker
The first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things
I have to do that day. I’m very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often
my best matchmaking(媒人) ideas come while I’m in the bath. Sometimes I have a
really good idea about who might be good with whom.
Before I
did matchmaking , I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted 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 last few
years we’ve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in
Britain. Europeans want to me
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.

Mother Knows Best？
Once while being prepped （准备） for a television interview， I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given （假定的事实） that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, "It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say things like that. Usually it’s a code for, "My wife, (read: any woman) is the better parent."
I was a stay-at-home father for eight years， so his declaration made me bristle （激动）。 It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent: She I-Dad spent more time with Ry,
A. Men like staying at home.
B. The author works at a TV station.
C. In more and more families the wife is earning more than the husband
D. The husband is the better parent.

Mind-reading Machine
A team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning (扫描) what’s happening in their brains.
When you look at something, your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons (神经元) are responsible for this processing.
The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) (功能性磁振造影) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.
Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientist
A. to show how neutrons take in oxygen-rich blood.
B. to measure how dense the blood is in the brain.
C. to record how much oxygen the brain consumes.
D. to identify which parts of the brain are processing information

{{B}}Electric Backpack{{/B}}
Backpacks are convenient. They
can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands
free to do other things. Someday, if you don’t mind carrying a heavy load, your
backpacks might also power your MF3 player, keep your cell phone running, and
maybe even light your way home.
Lawrence C. Rome and his
colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine
Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., have invented a backpack that makes
electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions,
search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely
increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers,
night-vision goggles, and other battery-powered devices to get aro
A. To make the backpack more comfortable for the wearer.
B. To put the backpack on the market.
C. To test the advantage of the backpack.
D. To promote the backpack in a newspaper or on television.
