item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.it was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on black friday morning. they had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. we stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. after a while the whistle blew, it was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. i suddenly felt my wifes hope was slim. i told her that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, i was ok with that too.as the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, i saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. i lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. i looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen i had ever seen in my life. frightening was not the word to describe his presence. he wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.i started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. he then directed it into my shopping cart. he looked at me, smiled, and said, “merry christmas.” my wife and i went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. all the way home i was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift i had ever received for christmas. the kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) i may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.24. how did the author

many single people say that frances 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) ones appearance or to lie about ones 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 anothers grocery basket can say a thing or two about that persons character or intentions. buying pet food can be a mans 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 its possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.28. what do many single people in pairs complain about?a. the difficulty in finding a match.b. the idea of
