Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it’s a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.

Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There’s nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez’s move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else’s opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.

A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life’s other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.

But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date, business meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behaviour of

surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor(投资者)? Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive?

This “human zoo” part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I’d hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn’t be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences(后果) of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was “doing it right.”

So next time you’re considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: “The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter.”

27. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The reasons for eating out alone. B. The trouble with eating in public. C. The suggestions about dining out. D. The fear of making dining choices. 28. What is the best part of dining out alone? A. One can fix one’s eyes on the food. B. One can enjoy reading while eating. C. One is likely to come across famous people. D. One is given the chance to watch other diners. 29. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5? A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners. B. Famous people are always the center of attention. C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone. D. Being watched seems far better than watching others. 30. What is suggested at the end of the text? A. Dining with friends. C. Having a table for one.

B. Chatting over dinner.

D. Sharing a table with a waiter.

It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the present amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come. This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.

31 For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, attracting both men and women.

What are the benefits of this televised sport? 32 Large football clubs benefit financially(财政上) from TV income and the top players can be well paid. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and advertising. What’s more, there is a health benefit to some of the population. 33

However, there will be some disadvantages if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones. 34 Fewer people watch live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly.

In a word, watching live sport on television has both good and bad effects. Televised sport has created many chances and benefited certain people and clubs very much. 35

A. Why has there been such growth in televised sport?

B. Why are there so many benefits of watching live sport on television? C. Televised sport can be helpful in increasing people’s value of teamwork. D. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. E. Through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.

F. One obvious advantage of televised sport is the money provided by television companies.

G. However, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.
