Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beachs Bar Louie counter by herself， quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading？ None of your business！ Lunch is Bechtels “me” time. And like more Americans， shes not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half （53 percent） have breakfast alone and nearly half （46 percent） have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore， 74 percent， according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone， but together， you know？” Bechtel said， looking up from her book. Bechtel， who works in downtown West Palm Beach， has lunch with coworkers sometimes， but like many of us， too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today， I just wanted some time to myself，” she said.

Just two seats over， Andrew Mazoleny， a local videographer， is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom hes on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction （交流）. “I reflect on how my days gone and think about the rest of the week，” he said. “Its a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one， but those days are over. Now， we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesnt feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology，” said Laurie Demeritt， whose company provided the statistics for the report.

1. What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 about？

A. Food variety. B. Eating habits.

C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.

2. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？

A. To meet with her coworkers.

B. To catch up with her work.

C. To have some time on her own.

D. To collect data for her report.

3. What do we know about Mazoleny？

A. He makes videos for the bar.

B. Hes fond of the food at the bar.

C. He interviews customers at the bar.

D. Hes familiar with the barkeeper.

4. What is the text mainly about？

A. The trend of having meals alone.

B. The importance of self-reflection.

C. The stress from working overtime.

D. The advantage of wireless technology.

Millions of Americans are abandoning the Thanksgiving dinner table to head to the mall. While in years past， shoppers had to line up before dawn on Black Friday to get easy access to holiday deals， a number of retailers （零售商） are now keeping their doors open before the dishes have been cleared from the holiday feast. And many are more than willing to skip football to shop until they drop. Retailers began rolling out deals days or even weeks earlier in the race to win shoppers.

Outside Lord & Taylor on Manhattans Fifth Avenue， Janna Holly， 21， outlined her battle plan. “We normally wait until Black Friday to shop for the Christmas gifts. This year， I plan on going to Macys， Forever 21 and Sephora，” said the college student from Austin， Texas. “My holiday budget should not be that much， because I have to pay for tuition （學费）， but Ill probably do a lot of shopping anyway.”

Marlina Kozdra of West Orange， N. J.， came to New York City to watch the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade with her family， but then went hunting for deals. “Shopping on Thanksgiving is fine as long as you get to do it with your family，” the 34-year-old stay-at-home mom said.

Though the Best Buy in Midtown Manhattan had barricades （路障） outside for the expected crowds of holiday shoppers， only Dag Estrada was waiting there at 1 pm on Thanksgiving. He said hed camped out overnight to buy a television. The store opened at 5 pm. “I do this every year. Its a tradition，” he said， explaining that his shopping list sometimes includes tablets and computers， too. “It makes me feel like a New Yorker，” Estrada said. He starts planning where to shop three weeks in advance by researching sales in newspapers and looking online. Then， he bargain-hunts alone. “No love， no cat， no dog， just you and deals，” he said.

5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggest？

A. Shoppers shouldnt give up their dessert.

B. The sports trade is very popular on holiday.

C. Many Americans rush to the shopping center to buy footballs.

D. Many retailers compete to get their share of the holiday business.

6. What may Janna Holly concern most when searching for the gift？

A. Its variety. B. Its price.

C. Its origin. D. Its quality.

7. Why did Marlina Kozdra come to New York City？

A. To look for a job.

B. To go shopping with her friends.

C. To celebrate the holiday with her family.

D. To have a free taste of the Thanksgiving dessert.

8. What is a New Yorker like according to Dag Estrada？

A. He hunts for bargains at a yard sale.

B. He replaces the household items regularly.

C. He would like to go camping during holidays.

D. He is a discount seeker during holiday shopping season.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10，000 years ago.

The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.  So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of these.

Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco， probably none.  However， a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.

Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat， which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products， and they made very little use of grains.  We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.

But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did， cutting the amount of fatty， salty and sweet food.

A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.

B. But today， we enjoy eating a lot of these.

C. In that case， they would be much healthier.

D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.

E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.

F. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of

civilization”.

G. People today probably dont want to live like our

ancestors.

It was raining hardly outside， what made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondered what I should eat at noon， I saw a familiar figure passing by our classroom. I rushed out and found it was my mother， already in her fifty， who brought me lunch in spite of the heavy rain. In China， many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return？ All too often， most children just take for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditionally. My dear mom or dad， thank you very much for bring me up. What shall I do for you？
