When it comes to romance（浪漫）, women prefer someone who is humorous while men choose those who catch their eye, according to an   international survey.

The survey, done in 16 countries by Canadian romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises, asked men and women on six continents about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet Mr. or Ms Right.

The survey showed differences between countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex.

Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their finances. Spaniards(people in Spain) were the most likely to use sex to catch someone’s attention.

Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men said they had lied about their marriage or romance as did 70 percent of German women,  the survey said.

When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents(被告) preferred to rely on friends for   introductions. The Internet was not a popular hunting ground except in Portugal,   where about half the surveyed men and women would like to find people online.

There was a gap between the two sexes in Spain and France. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online.  In France, 40 percent of men but only 10 percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did have one thing in common: both sexes regarded looks as more important than their counterparts（相对应的人） in other countries.

When it came to that first meeting, a majority of men surveyed said beauty was more important than brains, while women put a sense of humor at the top of their list.

Physical attraction was the most important for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. And while 40 percent of Portuguese men regarded   intelligence over looks in a first meeting, no Australian men did so.

In the United States and Canada, humor   was considered the most important personality by men and women, getting 63 and 73 percent of the vote respectively.

1.Appearance is the most important for men in the following   countries except in ___________.

A. Britain        B. Japan       C. France        D. Spain

2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Portuguese enjoy looking for love online best.

B. Humor is considered the most important personality by both Americans and

Australians.

C. Brazilian and Mexican men like to lie about their finances.

D. Few people preferred to rely on friends for introductions.

3.Which is NOT mentioned as the standard of looking for love in the passage?

A. Humor.   B. Generosity.    C. Beauty.         D. Intelligence.

4.The purpose of the writer is to tell us _________________ when choosing the opposite sex.

A. the differences between men and women in different counties

B. women prefers humor while men prefers beauty

C. not all men prefer beauty to brains

D. love is more important than anything else

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; and sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

1.If a person has his nose in the air, he _______.

A. is confident

B. is easy to deal with

C. is down to the earth

D. is always self-important and pride.

2.What can a daydreamer probably be like?

A. A person full of dreams in life.

B. A person with his head in the clouds.

C. A person with both his feet on the ground

D. A person with a good understanding of reality.

3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the opposite direction is always wrong

B. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

C. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

4.From the passage, we can infer the person who is _____ is the most popular kind of person.

A. down-to-earth        B. standing on the ground

C. with his nose in the air    D. with his head in the clouds
