The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine oclock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You dont have to be a farmer to be on Farmers O. But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of Americas heartland. ”You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the sire listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.

We get that anxious feeling that our precious life is slipping away while were doing something so meaningless. But its not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable.Some people camp outside Apple stores for an entire night just to get their hands on the latest product. But waiting 10 minutes in a grocery store just to buy a drink? Forget it. Our behavior when waiting is only partly decided by the length of the wait. “Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself,” notes the MIT researcher Richard Larson. One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is solved in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to mirrors in elevators so that we can check our appearance. We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more patient when we are given an idea of how long well be waiting. Walt Disney Co knows this better than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson，these times are overestimated so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy. But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our sense of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first served. Any departure from this principle is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue anger. Youve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line zoom ahead of you, cursing yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line. In order to solve this problem，the serpentine （蛇形） line was invented. The serpentine line guides all customers into one big snaking queue，separated by ropes or barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next available server, or teller, or customs official. The serpentine line isnt always faster than multi-lines before an array （排） of cash registers. But it offers important comfort: you absolutely never have to see someone arrive after you and get served before you. In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smartphone will also do. 5.In the 1st para., the author intends to tell us .

As you know it, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracting to it and I have fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have been spent lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching for the Web for more information about football. As the result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major objective is to learn more knowledges in school, I cant concentrate my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a senior two middle school student, so Ill have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I cant stop myself into getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressing and want to know how to deal with the contradiction between my studies and hobbies.Sincerely yours,Li Ming答案.阅读理解A语篇导读：乡村生活的作息规律让农民的社交生活受到了限制，受此启发，专门为农民创办的网络约会与交友的网站应运而生。1.A推理判断题。Jerry Miller是在听完一位女性农民的苦衷后才创办了这个网站，以便为农民网上约会和交友提供方便，由此可推断他创办网站的目的是帮助农民。2.C句意理解题。有人邀请她在晚上九点喝咖啡，可是她必须在第二天早上五点起床，由此可推断乡村生活没有被很好地理解。3.A正误判断题。根据最后一段第1句中的“a nonprofit organization”可知这是一个非营利性机构，它创办的网站提供的是免费服务。4.B作者意图题。作者只是客观地介绍了Jerry Miller创办的网站，顺便提及了另外一个网站，并没有发表自己的观点，所以作者意在对两个网站进行介绍。5.D推理判断题。由文中介绍的这两个关于农民社交的网站可推知因特网有助于提高农民的社交生活。B语篇导读：这是一篇讲述排队心理的文章，文章说明了影响排队心理的一些原因以及一些解决办法。5.【解析】细节理解题。由第一段“But its not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable”可知排队时间不是人们憎恨排队的唯一原因。【答案】C6.【解析】细节理解题。由第五段“these times are overestimated so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect.
