celebrity (名人) chefs like gordon ramsay and jamie oliver，according to a report from oxford university.the effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined

social trend.there has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.”women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.some experts have named these men in aprons as “gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who

they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.prof.gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members. “the family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eatas i did when i

street? perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on wechat without looking at what was going on around them. as the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers（低头族）. recently, a cartoon created by students from china central academy of fine arts put this group of people under the spotlight. in the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. a doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. a chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world. although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” guangming daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report. but thats not all. being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. at reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, qilu evening news reported. it can also cost you your life. there have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.28.for what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in paragragh2?a. to inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.b. to advertise the cartoon made by students.c. to indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.d. to warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.29.which of the following is not a risk a phubber may have?a. his social skills could be affected.b. his neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.c. he will cause the destruction of the world.d. he might get separated from his friends and family.30.which of the following may be the authors attitude towards phubbing? a. supportive. b. optimistic. c. opposed. d. objective.31.what may the passage talk about next? a. advice on how to use a cell phone. b. people addicted to phubbing.c. consequences of phubbing. d. measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.dimagine if, to collect your salary each month, you had to walk to the nearest town, perhaps tens of miles away, to gather in a school or a football court or a church. there, you and your colleagues wait for a man to arrive from the capital, perhaps a thousand miles away, with a suitcase of cash.few countries are as corrupt as congo(刚果). mobutu sese seko, a former strongman, used state funds to charter a concorde to take him on shopping trips to paris. by the time of his overthrow in 1997, graft was endemic. government employees were not paid but rather expected to use their positions to make a living. among the most prized government jobs was that of accountant: the people responsible for transporting bags of cash to the provinces to hand out to employees.in 2012, however, the congolese government started helping civil servants to open bank accounts. around three-quarters of themsome 670,000 peoplenow have one. in the process, the government has weeded out tens of thousands of ghost employees, since the embezzlers who invented them could not open accounts in their names without a matching id.yet in a vast country with fewer roads than luxembourg, hardly anyone lives anywhere near a bank branch. so congolese banks must now do the work the government accountants used to: shipping money to the remote area. cash has to be transported to branches in regional capitals, and thence to account-holders on the backs of motorbikes, in canoes or by foot. bank staff with suitcases of cash make easy targets, just as they did in the west of america in the 19th century. though they usually travel with armed policemen, there have been at least ten armed robberies of bank employees since january. at the moment banks are little more than money-transfer companies, and not very sophisticated ones at that. the transfers tend to go only one wayout of kinshasaso cannot be netted against each other; instead cash almost always has to be moved physically. therefore, most congolese bankers hope that the new system will promote the growth of a proper banking system.32. the underlined word “charter” (paragraph 2) can be replaced by “_”. a. drive b. rent c. write d. push33. how did government employees use to earn a living? a. by getting enough salaries b. by benefiting from their positions c. by transporting bags of cash d. by talking to employees34. what is not one of the challenges that bank staff have to face while transferring each? a. the transfers are netted against one another b. the cash may be robbed away c. most cash has to be moved physically d. they sometimes have to walk to transfer cash35. which of the following can be the best title of the article? a. unavoidable robberies b. frequent corruption c. best banking system d. cash on the
