I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.

The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.

Society is commonly too cheap：We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.

It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.

72．The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.

A．men need to do something for pleasure after their work.

B．men are not lonely when they are working.

C．solitude is necessary for a student.

D．people have different ideas of solitude.

73．When the writer says：“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.

A．we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.

B．we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.

C．our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.

D．people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others

74．The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.

A．it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.

B．it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.

C．it can be found in a man’s appearance.

D．it doesn’t lie in physical touch.

75．The writer almost believes that ______.

A．a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.

B．the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.

C．etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.

D．less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one specially for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled “Singles Day” on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set up a special day for singles to celebrate their lives.

An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong. One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns” card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov. 11. In order to remind them of the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.

Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. These college students carried their university tradition into society after they graduated. Singles Day is now a special day for all.

The main way to celebrate Singles day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it’s important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold “blind date” parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives.

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sitcks) representing the four “ones” in “11.11” and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the dot in between.

Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on the day. Many attend “blind date” parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning “single”, the four “ones” of the date can also mean “only one” as in “the only one for me”. Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their heart.

1.Which of the statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Singles Day has a long history.

B. Only men celebrate Singles Day.

C. Singles Day is only celebrated in China.

D. Students in Nanjing University started Singles Day.

2.People celebrate the festival mainly by .

A. playing Mahjong B. having dinner

C. getting married D. hanging out with friends

3.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Singles Day

B. Four Single Men’s Singles Day

C. University Culture on Singles Day
