Jerry stood up and looked at the crowd of people making their way through the station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he 36 , the girl with the 37 . The story had begun twelve months before in a 38 . Taking a book off the shelf he found himself 39 by the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting 40 a thoughtful soul and an insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the 41 owner’s name, Rosanna.
During the next year the two grew to know each other through the 42 . Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. The day finally came for their first 43 - 7:00 PM at the station.
A beautiful young woman was coming toward me, her 44 tall and slim. I started to walk toward her with delight, entirely forgetting to 45 that she was not wearing a rose. I 46 made one step closer to her, and then I saw Rosanna, a short and fat woman well past 40, was standing almost directly 47 the girl. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.
I felt 48 I was split in two, and there she stood. My fingers gripped the worn leather copy of the 49 that was to identify me to her.

I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to 52 ?”
The woman’s face broadened into a big smile. “I don't know what this is about, son,” she answered,” but the young lady in the green suit who just 53 begged me to wear this rose on my coat.

The website “FarmersOnly.com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.
So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You don’t have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly.com, but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland.”
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, singlesinag.org, says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.

TV talk shows dominate daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as possible. For example, the show takes the forever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and the quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the main idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clear as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tougher problems. The Jerry Springer show, on the other hand, has more of connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drugs. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation (开发,挖掘).
【小题1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are _____.
A.more popular | B.less interesting | C.more uninviting | D.more informal |
A.They are interested in them. | B.They are not ready to face them. |
C.They are cold to them. | D.They want to get away from them. |
A.Cheating. | B.A love story. | C.Mental health. | D.Sex. |
A.are the only ones of their kind | B.exploit weaknesses in human nature |
C.appear at different times of the day | D.have their own specific viewers |
