  America’s latest strategy(对策)for single persons who don’t want to be single any longer has many names:speed-dating, express-date, 10-minute-dating or simply mini-date.

  The principle is the same:Why spend an   1   evening with a stranger   2   you realize after only the first few minutes that you can’t   3   the person?

  The solution:The man and woman sit down   4   each other.A bell is sounded, and in the next 7 to 10 minutes each one tries to find out as much as possible about the   5   person.When the bell   6   off a second time, the man stands up and moves   7   to the next female.

  At such a meeting in San Francisco   8  , some 200 men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 had a   9   expression on their faces, in two long   10  opposite each other.The signal was given, and then almost everybody started   11   away.

  Richard Gosse,   12   of“AMERICAN SINGLES”, says this is the fastest, most effective and at the moment“  13  ”way to search for a partner.Minute-date has become a   14   everywhere from computer fans in Silicon Valley to young people in San Francisco to the suburbs of Chicago.Gosse says the quick method to get to know each other is helpful above all for   15   singles who are not brave enough to speak to a stranger in a bar.

  His   16  :Don’t talk about money, your weight or about your former partner, but   17   about your dreams, desires and hobbies.

  Most speed-dating meetings cost about US $25 per evening,   18   a person to get to know 15 to 20 people   19   the opposite sex.Speed-dating is so much in demand in America that most meetings are   20   out weeks and months in advance.

  Mr Smith said, “So 9 is the Secretary of the Interior! I'm afraid that I find very little to 10 about him, although he is the Secretary.”

  The woman sat still and did not reply. Smith continued in spite of her 11 .“I really can't see how he received his 12 , unless he is perhaps a relative of the President.”

  “It hardly 13 whether you like the Secretary or not,” she said. “He was 14 because the President thought he was the man for the 15 . If he does the job well, you should have no complaint(抱怨).”

  “That's just it,” said Smith.“No one 16 the things he does, unless he is a complete 17 !”

  “Sir!” said the woman in all her 18 . “Do you know who I am?”

“No,” replied Smith.

  “I am the Secretary's wife,” she said coldly.

  Mr Smith was 19 , but he went on in spite of his embarrassment(困窘),“Madam, do you know who I am?”

  “No, I don't,” the woman replied.

  “ 20 !” cried Mr Smith, as he quickly left the table.
