My friend Henry, with who I studied in the same class, didn’t like studying at school. That’s because he couldn’t go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I received an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation on his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”

Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.

The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed weeks before Black Friday, often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. Someone, somewhere, will try to cut in line at a Target, arousing the anger of the people who played it fair.

At risk are both bargains and bragging rights, turning what would otherwise be a miserable experience into an adventure.

“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we encounter day to day at the A.T.M. or in the subway,”said Richard Larson, a professor at M.I.T. who has spent years studying line behavior.

Professor Larson, whose nickname in academic circles is Dr. Queue, said he would never wait in a line on Black Friday himself. The lines, he said, are“once a year, they’re exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.”

Lines test patience, personal space and principles of fairness and rationality, especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming. Still, the promise of a once-a-year score draws shoppers to queues that start before sunrise—or in some cases, the night before.

J. Jeffrey Inman, a veteran of Black Friday lines and president of the Society for Consumer Psychology, said that many families treat the hours long experience as a bonding ritual and a cherished tradition.

“It’s not something unimportant,”said Mr. Inman, who is also a professor of marketing at the University of Pittsburgh.“And there’s this layer of competition to it, with people edging forward, because there are only so many of those big screen TVs inside the door.”

People may actually gravitate toward longer lines, so they can feel a greater sense of accomplishment once they finally make a purchase. Professor Larson said,“Even if they don’t know what the line is for, they reason that whatever’s at the end of it must be fantastically valuable.”

1.From the second paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A.people in Target are most likely to cut in line

B.shops will hand out store maps to shoppers

C.shoppers dislike queuing well in advance

D.queuing for Black Friday is common

2.Which of the following statements is J. Jeffrey Inman most likely to agree with?

A.Shoppers stand in line to enjoy the pleasure of bargaining with salespeople.

B.People feel like winning if they get something after queuing for some time.

C.Standing in line on Black Friday is not an exciting experience for some people.

D.Grandchildren like hearing grandparents talking about their experience of queuing.

3.The phrase“gravitate toward”is closest in meaning to ______.

A.turn a blind eye to B.be attracted by

C.pick up bargains in D.be cheated by

4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?

B.Fairness: Key to Consumer Psychology

C.Standing in Line Is a Pain, Says Professors

D.Black Friday is Getting Increasingly Valuable

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago. She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.

However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.

Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Jane’s naval brother.

Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Anne’s family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.

Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.

Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.

People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there. You can visit Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died.

1.What is the theme of Persuasion?

A. Never regret what you’ve chosen.

B. True love lasts forever.

C. Be matched for marriage.

D. Love waits for no man.

2.Which of the following CANNOT describe Jane’s writing style?

A. Her application of symbolism.

B. Her delicate observations.

C. Her focus on manners and morals.

D. Her use of irony.

3.Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?

A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.

B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.

C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.

D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.

4.The article mainly talks about _______.

A. Jane Austen’s unique writing style

B. the original residence of Jane Austen

C. Jane Austen’s last novel: Persuasion

D. the popularity of Jane Austen’s novels
