I’m very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking ideas come while I’m 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 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 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 impossible 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 and direct and told him, “But a woman can’t 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 People　　C. Matchmakers and Clients　　　　　　　　 D. The Most Satisfying Job　　57. What does the author mean by saying “I’m 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. What was the personal factor that made the author change her job?　　A. She was warm and kind-hearted.　　B. She could understand people better than others.　　C. She liked to make her own decisions.　　D. She was interested in social problems.　　59. From the author’s experience given in the last paragraph, we can conclude that to be a good matchmaker, sometimes it is better for one to be ____.　　A. direct　　　　　B. kind　　　　　 C. hard working　　　 D. organized　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　B　　We 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, love 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 less 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 people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other’s 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 respects, 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, 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 and 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 you’ve just read, the author has probably been discussing ____.　　A. the two most important human emotions---love and hate　　B. some emotions that are only produced by animals　　C. some other sets of human emotions than of love and hate　　D. none of the above　　61. According to the passage, the emotion of love has been medically paid less attention to because ____.　　A. it is too common to be talked about　　B. compared with other kinds of emotions, love is not so important　　C. the study of love needs great effort and advanced scientific research　　D. love is harmless and too complex for description　　62.From the passage, we can conclude that when two people are in love, they ____.　　A. will never be angry with or hate each other　　B. are strongly attracted to each other　　C. will not envy each other　　D. tend to do all of the above　　63.Which of the following might best be used as the title for the passage?　　A. Two Most Important Emotions Towards Others.　　B. Love More and Hate Less.　　C. The Great Benefits of Love and the Serious Harm of Hate.　　D. Some Advice to Those Who Are In Love.
