Growing up, I learned that men call， ask and pay for the date。 But during my three years here at Berkeley， Ive learned otherwise. Berkeley women have brightened their social lives by asking the initiative with men。 My girlfriends insist that its essential for women to participate actively in the dating process. “I cant sit around and wait anymore,” my roommate once blurted out （脱口而出). “Hard as it is, I have to ask guys out - if I want to date at all!” This is great： More women are having more fun by inviting men out， and men say theyre delighted and relieved that dating no longer depends on their willingness to take the first step。 So why am I digging my nails into my hand trying to muster up （鼓起) courage to ask you out？文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络 I keep telling myself to relax。 Dating is more casual today. A college date can be as harmless as studying together. Its easier， cheaper and more comfortable for everyone that way。 Students have fewer anxiety attacks when they ask somebody to play tennis than when they plan a formal dinner date。 They enjoy last-minute “Lets make dinner together dates because they not only avoid problems over what to wear and how to act, but also dont have time to agonize （痛苦). Casual dating also encourages people to form healthy friendships before they get involved in serious relationships. My roommate and her boyfriend were friends for four months before they chemistries clicked. They went to movies， got together with mutual friends and took turns paying for their dinners out. “It was like going out with a girlfriend,” my roommate once laughed， blushing. This sort of friendship lets men and women relax and get to know each other more easily. But if we do go out for a meal, who pays？ This is still confusing everyone。 You arent sure whether Ill get the wrong idea if you treat me for dinner， and Im not sure I wont offend you if I insist on paying for myself. John whipped out his wallet on our first date before I could suggest we go Dutch. During our afterdinner stroll he told me he was interested in dating me in a steady basis。 After I explained I was more interested in a friendship， he wanted to know why Id let him pay for my dinner。 “Ive practically given up treating women on dates,” he complained。 “When you let me pay， I thought it meant something special.”文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络 Larry， on the other hand， was hurt when I offered to pay for my meal on our first date. When I took out my wallet and asked how much I owed him， he looked at me as if I had addressed him in a foreign language。 Larry muttered, “Uh， well, you really dont owe me anything, but if you insist ” Insist， I thought， I only offered! To Larry, my gesture was a sign of rejection。 But theres no time now to worry about John and Larry - here you come！ Now remember: I believe in equality. I believe in women taking the initiative. It improves my social life， its more fair and more fun for everyone. Dates are no big deal - this is modern American-style casual dating。 And its easy, and it works. No magic formula guarantees youll say yes - I just have to relax, be myself and ask you out in a relaxed, unthreatening manner. If my friends are right, youll be flattered （感到荣幸）。文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络 Sliding into your desk， you tap my shoulder and say, “Hi, Laura, whats up？” “Good morning，” I answer with nervous chills (寒战)。 “Hey, how would you like to have lunch after class on Friday?” “Id love to,” you say. It works！ “We have a date，” I smile。1。 In the authors family, asking men out would be considered _。 A） normal B. common C。 traditional D. absurd2。 According to the passage， females in Berkeley are considered to _ when dating with males.

The awards have been presented annually (the first awards ceremony was held in May of 1929） by a non-profit professional organization - the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS）, based in Beverly Hills, California, and founded in 1927。 Pricewaterhouse has managed the Academy Awards balloting （投票选举） process since 1935 - all but the first six years of the Oscars. Ever since 1941, when their system was introduced, marking the first year of complete secrecy， “the Envelope Please has become a familiar phrase that has been associated with the Academy Awards Ceremony.文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络Except for the early years of the institution, the awards honored films made during the previous 12-month calendar year。 At first, to be eligible （有资格的）for an award， a film had to open in Los Angeles during the twelve months ending on July 31 of the preceding year。 To allow each ceremony to cover films for a single calendar year - matching the eligibility period, the 1932 / 33 awards were based on a 17-month qualifying period. Ever since then, beginning with the 1934 awards ceremony, all awards have been based on openings in the previous calendar year。 Until 1954， the Oscars were presented mostly on a Thursday evening。 From 1955 to 1958, they were presented on a Wednesday。 From 1959 until 1998 the Oscars were， with a few exceptions, presented on a Monday night。 Only since 1999 has the Awards ceremony taken place on a Sunday (traditionally in March). In 2004, the ceremony was moved even earlier to improve ratings and to be more relevant to the awards “season”.个人收集整理，勿做商业用途The establishment of the Academy (and its awards system） has had a major effect and influence upon the film industry, due to the enormous boost a nomination （提名） or award (for a film or actor) creates， by giving prestige and bottom-line profits to a studio or performer。 Studios have often engaged in expensive marketing and advertising campaigns to sway limited success， tried to limit the influences of pressure groups and promotion, box office gross receipts, studio public relations and marketing， sentimentality and personal popularity， those influences have had a decided effect upon the outcome of some of the poll results. Especially since the 80s, moneymaking “formulamade” successful films have often been crowdpleasing titans (大片）， but they havent necessarily been great films with depth or critical acclaim (赞誉) by any measure。个人收集整理，勿做商业用途57。 When were the first Academy Awards presented?

Potatoes contain Vitamins C, B1， B2， B3, and B6。 The most important Vitamin C. The entire recommended daily amount can be found in 14 ounces of potatoes. The vitamin content is at its peak at harvest time, and decreases during storage。 More vitamins disappear during cooking。 Potatoes boiled in their skins and large baked potatoes lose about 2040% of their Vitamin C content alone, while French fries and roast potatoes lose about 30-40%, and peeled, boiled potatoes lose as much as 30-50%.本文为互联网收集，请勿用作商业用途The quality of protein we consume matters more than the quantity. Potato protein is an ideal blend of essential amino acids （氨基酸）。 Since the body functions most efficiently on a vegetable protein, this is some of the best nature can offer。The high potassium content （钾含量) of potatoes means it is an ideal way to counterbalance the surplus acid found in such foods as meat and dairy products。 Many people， women more than men, suffer from a deficiency of iron， particularly those who are pregnant or are very active in sports. Those who eat potatoes regularly have no need to take iron supplements.Many people used to believe that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) led to excess weight。 But it is now known that they are the bodys most important source of energy. Among the complex carbohydrates are starch (淀粉) and fiber。 During digestion， starch is converted to energy and stored in the liver and muscles。 Fiber is a vital aid to digestion。 It absorbs a great deal of body waste and expands enormously。 This increased bulk encourages more efficient bowel function. Fiber-rich foods stay in the system only half as long as those with little fiber。本文为互联网收集，请勿用作商业用途As an aid in losing excess pounds， without feeling that you are starving yourself, potatoes are highly recommended.
