9.Instagram is containing so many photos of food-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new  pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too.'The Picture House'is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人)Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's'Food for Life'campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year,in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.ziyuanku.com

1.A man came home from work late,tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy,may I ask you a question?""Yeah,sure,what is it?"replied the man.(36)C"If you must know,I make﹩20?""Oh,"the little boy replied,with his head down.Then he looked up and said,"Daddy,may I borrow﹩10?The father was angry,"If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy,the you should go to bed."(37)F
After about an hour or so,the man calmed down,and started to think.Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.(38)E"Are you asleep,son?''He opened the door and asked."No,Daddy,"replied the boy."I've been thinking,maybe I was too hard on you just now,"said the man,"Here's the $10 you asked for."(39)G"Oh,thank you,Daddy!"he yelled.Then,reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change.(40)B"Why do you want more money if you have already had some?"the father asked angrily.
"Because I didn't have enough,but now I do,"the little boy replied."Daddy,I have $20 now.Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home earlier tomorrow,I would like to have dinner with you."

A.Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears.
B.The man,seeing that the boy already had money,started to get angry again.
C."Daddy,how much do you make an hour?"
D."Daddy,how much do you spend a day?"
E.The man went to the door of the little boy's room.
F.The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
G.The little boy sat straight up,smiling.
18.Laptop computers are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and airplanes,in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today,laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.Within five years,each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop.The laptops are part of a$10 million computer program at Westlake,a 110-year-old college.The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet.In addition,they will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers,their classmates,and their families.However,the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home,in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology,laptop use in higher education,such as colleges and universities,is workable.As laptops become more powerful,they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition,the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet,but also libraries and other resources.State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities,too.
At Westlake College,more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said,"Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything."

24.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop toA.
A.use for their schoolwork
B.access the Internet
C.work at home
D.connect them to libraries
25.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?C

19.Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver,according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models,who have given cooking a more manly picture,has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny,who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford,men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking,up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof.Gershuny said,"The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40yars of sexual equality,but there is another 40years probably to com."
Women,who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking,now sped just one hour and seven minutes-a great fall,but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as"Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)",who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay,Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall,Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
"I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later,I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed,"said Prof.Gershuny."That would never happen now."
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week,even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table-with many"family meals"in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room,and shared by family members."The family meal has changed a lot,and few of us eat-as I did when I was a child-at least two meals a day together as a family.But it has survived in a different format."

28.What is one reason behid the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?D
A.The improvement of cooks'status.
B.The influence of popular female chefs.
C.The change of female's view on cooking.
D.The development of sexual equality campaign.
29.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?B
A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
B.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
C.It will take 40years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.
30.How did Prof.Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?B
A.It has become a thing of the past.
B.It is very different from what it used to be.
C.It shouldn't be advocated in modern times.
D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family.
31.Which is the best title for the passage?C
A.The Changes of Family Meals
B.Equality between Men and Women
C.Cooking into a New Trend for Men
D.Cooking-a Thing of the Past for Women.
