Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything, but it must be unique to insure a dish. It was a unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet in long and six feet in width. They had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport would be by a canal, so they insured it for the trip. Short after it was launched, the pie committee went to the local inn to celebrate. In the same time, a number of teenager climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, but during the party it capsized (倾覆) and sink in seven feet of water.

8.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning,you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. (51)Instead,you would see plenty of animals with people running after them.Life for ancient people's earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times,when food is available in grocery stores,finding love is more (52)central in people's lives.The (53)proof is all around us.It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love.An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love,a highly valued emotional state,can be (54)created.They ask,what is love?Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth,but clean teeth go only so far.Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved.You have probably heard that opposites attract but that (55)similarities attract,too.One thing is certain:The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the (56)ingredients of attraction,researchers paired 164college classmates and had them talk for 3,6or 10minutes so they could get a sense of each other's individuality.Then students were asked to (57)predict what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners.After nine weeks,they reported what happened.
As it turned out,their (58)initialjudgements often held true.Students seemed to (59)distinguishat an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
The (60)NoseKnows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction.Many animals give off pheromones-natural chemicals that can be detected by,and then can produce a response in,other animals of the same species.Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling (61)opento partnerships.In contrast,humans do not seem to be as (62)gifted as other animals at detecting such chemicals.Smell,however,does seem to play a part in human attraction.Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously,we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors,including seeing something we find attractive.Researchers had people judge faces for(63)attractiveness.The participants had 0.013seconds to view each face,yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces.The way we (64)assessattractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations,people responded to(65)positive  words faster after viewing an attractive face.Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.

Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers (海洋学家), industry and governments.

The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean.

The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency’s Cryo-2 satellite. It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason-1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar (声波定位仪) equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.

The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.

David Sandwell says the map is a powerful tool for fisheries, those interested in protecting the environment and for oil exploration.

“The petrol exploration industry is interested in how to reconnect the continents, bring them back together tectonically so you can map the basins on one continental edge—say, Africa—and use that to establish where the similar basin would be on the other continental edge in South America.”

If scientists know that information, they may be able to find oil fields. The new data also will help scientists improve their estimates of ocean depths. This information can help ships travel safely and improve military operations and scientific projects worldwide.

Mr. Sandwell thinks scientists will make many more discoveries as they examine the new map and the information it provides.

1.Which one is not mentioned about the benefits brought by the new map?

A. Fisheries. B. Scientific projects.

C. Ship manufacture. D. Oil exploration.

2.What can we know about the new map?

A. It shows where earthquakes will happen.

B. It will be helpful to industry and governments.

C. It is three times as detailed as the old one years ago.

D. It shows the sea floor as it has ever been seen before.

3.The text is likely to appear in _________.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

C. More discoveries about the oceans

D. Scientists create new maps of ocean floor

Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza,Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.

Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of “A Single Room with a Single Book”.

The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.

To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever tricks. For example, when selling a book about flowers, the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore.

Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100 books. Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries.

1.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?

A. It is popular with feigners.

B. It sells books of different topics.

C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.

D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.

2.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?

A. To introduce his bookstore.

B. To advocate his philosophy.

C. To make books better understood.

D. To help readers make more friends.

3.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?

A. Risky B. Promising.

C. Unpredictable. D. Hopeless
