19．Although Paris is often considered the city of romance，close to a million adults who call it home are single．Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people．The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating．"At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list．They can look for someone who has blue eyes，brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list．At this Paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6：30 and 9：00 p．m．When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love．They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly，and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles．
With purple baskets in hand，shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries．When they are ready to pay，they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat．
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating．They know that it is easy to embellish （美化） one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the Internet．The supermarket，on the other hand，is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match．In addition，what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person's character or intentions．Buying pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side．Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living．These days it's possible to find much more than food at a grocery store．
28．What do many single people in Pairs complain about？A

9．What is ecofashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment，the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry．It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms-‘ecological'and‘ethical'．Ecological fashion usually refers to textile （织物） and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes．
What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory．Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily．Cottonplanting uses pesticides；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；syntheticsmaking （人造纤维生产） brings about waste which does harm to our environment．Secondly，every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment．They all use a great deal of energy，and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings．In addition to this，there is a lot of waste produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water．Thirdly，growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects．We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times．
Then，how to solve the problems？Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials，designing for minimum waste，choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity．The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion．To a large degree，it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future．There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste．On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption．
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen．Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate．They relate directly to our personal health．In fact，choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health，though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet．
