        The first thing I do when I wake up is make a mental list of all things I have to do that day : I’m very organised ! Then I get up and have my bath．Often my best matchmaking ideas come while I’m in the bath．Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be good with whom．

        Before I did matchmaking （媒人） , I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people．Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely．So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970．

        Over the last few years we’ve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain．Europeans went to meet British people．For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down．We keep going until clients （委托人） find someone that they get on very well with．We’re great triers．Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle…

        Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients．A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time, It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts．So I had to be very honest and frank and told him, “But a woman can’t start to love you if your shirt smells．” The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love．

    [    ]

    A．She is especially capable of organising things．

    B．She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities．

    C．She likes to remember things she has to do．

    D．She always finishes what she does on time．

    [    ]

    A．She was warm and kind-hearted

    B．She could understand people better than others

    C．She liked to make her own decisions

    D．She was interested in social problems

    3．The author’s description of her work in the third paragraph suggests that ______．

    [　　]

    A．She worked hard and would not give up easily．

    B．She tried hard in doing introductions throughout Europe．

    C．She tried hard in doing introductions throughout Europe．

    D．She liked the British people to get married with the Europeans．

    4．Who are those people who are “impossible” and “will never settle”? ______．

    [　　]

    A．Those who make things impossible for themselves

    B．Those who always travel around

    C．Those who find it hard to live in one place

    D．Those who can never find a partner for marriage

    答案：B;A;B;B

         The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂).   1    Separateness, according to
    psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
          2   It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between
    two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent
    upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
    someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
         D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is
    unconditional.    3   Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow
    yourself to be known to the other person.
         The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.  4    Symbiotic union is
    an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
         Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their
    independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of
    separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , "I love you because I need
    you," but the mature one: " 5   "
    A.There are two types of love.
    B.I need you because I love you.
    C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling
    D.Every one of us needs love.
    E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
    F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
    G.These two types are quite different from each other.
