A
In this list I chose inspirational young people who have made a positive difference in the world.
Joan of Arc (1412〜1431) Aged just 16, Joan of Arc made an unlikely journey to the Dauphin of France. Impressed with something inside this young peasant girl, the Dauphin of France was inspired to renew the fight with the English, defeating them at Orleans—as Joan had predicted. She was burnt at the stake, aged just 19, but her predictions of France gaining her freedom proved correct.
Anne Frank (1929〜1945) While hiding in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank kept a diary of her experiences. She died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. However, after the end of the war, her diaries were published by her father. The Diary of Anne Frank became an international best-seller and helped give a young person’s view on the holocaust (大屠杀) statistics.
Samantha Smith (1972〜1985) Samantha was an American schoolgirl. In 1982, she wrote a letter to the leader of the Soviet Union, Yuri Andropov, asking why relations between the US and the Soviet Union were so tense. Her letter was published, and later Andropov replied. Smith was also invited to visit the Soviet Union, which she did. The visit was followed with great interest by the international media. In 1983, she visited Japan acting as America’s youngest ambassador. She died, aged just 13, in a plane crash.
Nkosi Johnson (1989〜2001) Nkosi was born with HIV inherited from his parents. In 1997, he was refused admission to a public school because of HIV status. He became a powerful speaker for treating HIV victims with equality and respect. He received the Children’s Peace Prize after death, Nelson Mandela referred to him as “an icon (偶像) of the struggle for life”.

B
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.
1、What do many single people in Pairs complain about?
A．The difficulty in finding a match.
B．The idea of supermarket dating.
C．The items on their grocery list.
D．The inconvenience in shopping.
2、Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?
A．The dating supermarket is located in Paris.
B．The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.
C．Only single people can shop in the supermarket.
D．The dating supermarket has very good business.
3、How do love shoppers meet one another?
A．They schedule their meeting in advance.
B．They go through a special checkout.
C．They pick out their groceries with great care.
D．They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.
4、Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?
A．The supermarket dating is more convenient.
B．The supermarket dating is more fun.
C．The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.
D．The supermarket dating is more economical.
