4. Yin and yang refer literally to the dark and sunlit sides of a hill. Although Yin and Yang could be viewed as opposites like male and female, hot and cold, black and white, sweet and sour etc., they are really complementary pairs, and life's mishaps and problems are caused not by opposing forces, but by disharmony or imbalances in the environment.

Without it, some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and want to 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 violent 39 .

The car provides the most comfortable and 44 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 48 really made cars popular.

Their most audacious and significant attack to date came on Saturday with the capture of the Saudi-owned Sirius Star and its crew of 25 (including two Britons) which was taken 450 nautical miles (830km) off the coast of Kenya.The move was described as "unprecedented" by the US Navy due to the size of the vessel and the distance of the attack from the pirates' usual theatre of operations; the Sirius Star is the biggest ship taken by pirates so far, weighing three times more than an American aircraft carrier and capable of carrying 2m barrels of oil, valued at around $100m (683m Yuan).The pirates, who are often armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades, usually hijack ships in the Gulf of Aden using powerful speedboats to approach merchant ships which they board using grappling hooks and rope ladders.Once the crew has been taken hostage, the pirates direct the ship to a port in Somalia where the crew and boat are held until a ransom is paid. There are currently 14 ships and 268 crew being held in pirate-friendly Somali ports.Given that senior UN officials estimate that the pirates earn more than $100m (683m Yuan) a year from ransom payments made by ship owners, many ask why more military interventions don't take place.NATO warships are in the area but US Navy officials have told the BBC they can "not be everywhere". That said, an Indian Navy frigate attacked and sank a Somali pirate ‘mother ship' on Wednesday morning after coming under fire.Most hijackings, however, do end peacefully although it can be a lengthy process. On Wednesday the Hong Kong ship MV Great Creation and its crew of 25 Chinese and one Sri Lankan were released after two monthsof captivity.题目：1.Somali pirates have been successful in most of the hijackings.文本：你的答案:F正确答案:F得分:5.00题目：2.The pirates' capture of the British Sirius Star is the biggest ship taken by pirates so far.文本：你的答案:F正确答案:F得分:5.00题目：3.The pirates often hijack ships in the Gulf of Aden.文本：你的答案:T正确答案:T得分:5.00题目：4.Once the crew has been taken hostage, the pirates would not release the crew and boat until a ransom is paid.文本：你的答案:T正确答案:T得分:5.00题目：5.There are currently many ships and UN officials being held in Somali ports.文本：你的答案:F正确答案:F得分:5.00题目： Navy officials have said that they cannot guarantee the safety of the ships.文本：你的答案:T正确答案:T5.00题目：7.The Hong Kong ship MV Great Creation and its crew was released after two days of captivity.文本：你的答案:F正确答案:F得分:5.002.Exercise 2: Focus-listening: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1.

Speaking in Poland, the fourth stop of a five nation European tour, Mr. Bush endorsed a second wave of NATO expansion eastward. Poland was one of three former Warsaw Pact nations, along with Hungary and the Czech Republic, that became NATO members two years ago.At a news conference with his Polish counterpart, Aleksander Kwasniewski, Mr. Bush praised Poland's transformation to a democracy and a market economy saying it serves as a fine example for future members of NATO.The President looked forward to next year's NATO summit in Prague when the alliance is expected to welcome new members, but he avoided endorsing any specific candidates. Nine former communist bloc nations are seeking entry. "My government believes NATO should expand," he said. "We believe no one should be excluded because of history or location or geography. We do not believe any nation should have a veto over who is accepted." His last point is a reference to Russian objections to extending the NATO defense umbrella, especially to the Baltic states, which were once annexed by the Soviet Union.Mr. Bush says Russia should not view NATO enlargement as a threat, but as a way to create a more stable and peaceful Europe. "Russia should not fear the expansion of freedom-loving people to her borders," It isan argument he will make directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin when he meets him in Slovenia Saturday. Mr. Bush is also expected to try to persuade Mr. Putin of the merits of his missile defense plan, which Moscow fears could undermine nuclear deterrence. In addition, the president says he plans to question the Russian leader about reports of weapons proliferation along Russia's southern border. Mr. Bush has cited weapons proliferation as one of the reasons why a missile defense is necessary.The President will have more to say about European security when he delivers his only speech of his trip at Warsaw University later Friday.题目：1.Poland is the _______ stop of President Bush's five nation European tour.文本：A)FirstB)SecondC)ThirdD)Fourth你的答案:D正确答案:D得分:7.00题目：2.All of the following were former members of Warsaw Pact nations mentioned in the passage except______.文本：A)PolandB)HungaryC)Czech RepublicD)Italy你的答案:D正确答案:D得分:7.00题目：3.According to the passage, the next year's NATO summit will be held in______.文本：A)ParisB)MoscowC)PragueD)Washington你的答案:C正确答案:C得分:7.002.Passage One Exercise 2: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true, F for false.NATO Expansion No Threat to Russia, says BushPresident Bush says Russia should not feel threatened by NATO enlargement.

What it means, in effect, is that as soon as practical we will resume our operations. What we had called for were credible assurances. The credibility attaches in this case from the level that the assurances flow - the very highest level of government in Israel. That will be taken at face value as it is given in good faith, it will be taken in good faith," he said.Ging said his agency is willing to take reasonable risks encountered in a combat zone, but those recent incidents, including Israeli strikes on several U.N.-run schools and on the U.N. aid convoy were unacceptable. He has said previously that the movement of the convoy had been coordinated in advance with the Israeli military and that they knew the coordinates of all U.N. facilities.In a statement, the United Nations said it was informed by Israeli authorities that they "deeply regretted" the incidents that led to the aid operation suspension and that they do not reflect official government policy. The U.N. said it received "credible assurances" that the security of U.N. personnel, installations and humanitarian operations would be fully respected.UNRWA feeds 750,000 Palestinian refugees in Gaza.Late Thursday, the U.N.

Job Hunting1Task One: Graduates Feel Market SqueezeAccording to the job fairs we’ve just seen and also recent surveys show the hiring prospectsare bleak for this year’s college graduates. In China’s financial hub—Shanghai, and the country’s export base—Guangdong province, most students are still waiting for job offers. As Wang Xiqing reports.Seven out of ten here still haven’t found a job, and most of them are desperate.On average, these students in Shanghai have sent out thirty to fifty applications each. And in extreme cases, some have posted copies of their resumes six hundred times.Surveys show students’ minimum salary expectations are between two to three thousand yuan a month. Foreign or multi-national companies top the list in applications, while small private companies are the least favored, because of fears they could go bust the next day.Many students say they’re willing to work as interns in the hope that excellent performance during their probation period（实习期，试用期）might win them a contract. However, only a very small proportion of companies are actually willing to take on interns. And even if they do, that often means low-value positions like answering phone calls at reception.The situation is even worse in Guangdong, where only 8.4% of final year students have signed labor contracts.Over 330,000 local college students will graduate in July, 14% more than last year. And adding the number of graduating students from other provinces coming to Guangdong in searchfor jobs, the army of young job seekers in the province will top 500,000 this year.To rub salt into the wound the demand for graduates has dipped by 20%, as companies are trying to limit their labor costs in the wake of the economic slowdown.The unfortunate figures mean that all their efforts to hunt down a job could prove to be fruitless.(A graduate student in Guangdong)“Whether you’re from an urban or rural area, if you’re unemployed, then you should expect some kind of minimum subsidy from the government. But we graduates are not officially considered to be unemployed. We’re called people awaiting jobs. I’m very disturbed by this definition.”The employment situation was a top concern during the government’s political sessions earlier this month. Officials acknowledged that hiring prospects in China are grave, and a slew of measures have been announced in the hope of relieving the situation.A total of 7.1 million college graduates will chase jobs this year, including 1 million who failed to secure employment last year.Task Two: New Year, New Job2 (Tracy) If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions, you wouldn’t be surprised to see “Find a better job” right at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s personal finance magazines is here to have some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change.(Vera Gibbons) That’s right. Good morning, Tracy! Nice to see you.(Tracy) Nice to see you, too. Happy new year.(Vera Gibbons) The same to you.(Tracy) Start the new year, start lookin g for a new job, it’s amazing. How many people are actually doing that?(Vera Gibbons) Yes, one survey finds that 75% of American workers plan to look for a newjob this year. They’re unhappy with the pay, they’re unhappy with the situational they work, th ey want new challenges since there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lotof people are going to be out there looking for work. This is a time of the year where we’re more inclined to take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find a good job…(Tracy) Resolution thing.(Vera Gibbons) Yes.(Tracy) Is there a good time to go about doing this?(Vera Gibbons) Well, opportunities pop up all the year along, but, yes, the heaviest of hiring does take place in the beginning of the year: they fire at the end of the year and they hire in the new.(Tracy) They fire for Christmas. So if you think about doing, you really should get out there now.(Vera Gibbons) Get out there now, and get the ball rolling, yes.(Tracy) What about the job market in 2007? What does it look like?(Vera Gibbons) It is softening a little bit, job growth is a little slowing down some because ofthe contraction in housing and auto-sell sector, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector.Th ese companies are high in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs be created this year, and once a writer by Career Role Builder actually found that 40% of employerswill be hiring full-time employees this year, so it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s, it’s OK.(Tracy) OK, so if you’re ready take the plunge, if you want to get out there, you have some tips, No. 1 is “Do some soul searching”.(Vera Gibbons) Yes, I just think in order to get out a job that isn’t going anywhere car eer, that’s gonna drift, you really need to sit down and be proactive here. You can’t be reactive, you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to make any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well, getting a paycheck and benefits are good, why rock the boat? Here’s the thing: we’re spending half of our life in workplace. If you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, where you would like to go.(Tracy) And part of that, as you say, is “Prioritize your options”, what do you mean?(Vera Gibbons) Yeah, I mean write down five to ten things that are important to you in yourjob and career, maybe you want a better work-life bounce, a more flexible schedule, whatever that happens to be, take a look at what makes you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals because you are more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.3(Tracy) Good idea, you can actually write this all out. Also when you go out there for the job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say “Make the resume stand out”.(Vera Gibbons) Yeah, you know, with the employees only spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume…(Tracy) Ten seconds?(Vera Gibbons) Yeah, and get this on average, for every 245 resumes, they get the interview. One person per 245 resume, so it’s very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, Keep it thin, keep it short, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’ll be looking for different jobs, you should be highlighting different skills different experiences that may be relevant for one position and may not be relevant for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of resumes all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.(Tracy) Ok, just briefly, you say do not look online, you need to hand this out, hand out to your friends, do lots of networking.(Vera Gibbons) A lot of networking , that’s the key.(Tracy) Vera Gibbons, thanks.(Vera Gibbons) Thanks. Task Three: Laid-off Workers in ChinaIn over two decades of opening up, China has gradually reformed into a market economy. One major move was to restructure the large state-owned enterprises (SOEs ). Some practices were successful and benefited many. But on the other side of the coin, several companies lost their competitiveness, and had to lay off workers in order to survive. In today’s Working Asia, Zou Yue brings us a story about laid-off workers.Everyday they walk into the factory to work, but now they have to worry about their jobs. For the 4 thousand workers at the state-owned Wuhan Boiler Factory, the country’s reform drive has meant new challenges.35-year-old Ma Ling worked in this factory for 15 years. But in 2002, she lost her job, something she found hard to accept.(Ma Ling)“It was such a blow. I never imagined that I would get the sack ( 被解雇 ). It was such a big factory and I was so young. How could that happen? My confidence was totally destroyed at the time.”Ma Ling’s life depended on the factory. Her parents, her brother and her own husband have worked there all their lives. The change has led to worries about the future. In the days of a planned economy, SOEs offered life-long benefits for workers, from housing and medical care to pensions and insurance. But since 1998, about 30 million employees in China have lost their jobs and also the benefits that went with them, due to either downsizing or bankruptcy.(Zou Yue)“For workers laid off by China’s SOEs, it has not been easy adapting to the industrial reshuffle But decades of market reform have made Chinese workers realize the importance of finding a way out on their own. For many, it has become a part of their life.”Like her colleagues, Ma Ling struggled to find other work. Six months after Ma Ling got the4axe (get the sack), she found a position she found embarrassing for an experienced electrician--workshop garbage cleaner.(Ma Ling)“Although the job was dirty and tiring, I had to take it. After all the losses, I was glad for the chance. It means everything to me.”But between 2000 and 2002, the factory continued to lose money, and had to lay off half its staff. Those who stayed faced tougher competition to stay in their positions. After losing their iron rice bowl ( 铁饭碗), they are now walking an economic tight rope. To make matters worse, the enterprise was having a hard time feeding its 3 thousand retirees. The managers found it was no easy job trying to make ends meet.(Chen Helin, deputy general manager of Wuhan Boiler Group)“We have to make the laid off employees understand that they have to change their mind set. Survival of the fittest ( 适者生存) is our rule. While we have tried our best to accommodate the employees, the workers have to find their own way of life if possible.”The factory tried to make things easier by restructuring ( 调整，改组) its remaining workforce on the one hand, while leasing some of its street front houses for the jobless to run small businesses, like this shopping façade ( 正面 ). But there simply is not enough for everyone. (Xu Liangjun, deputy director of Wuhan Reemployment Work Office)“As an old industrial city, there i s a large gap between job opportunities and demand. Since 1998, over 500 thousand workers have become jobless in this city of 7 million people. We can only hope the local economy picks up to provide more jobs for them.”Ma Ling was lucky to later get promoted again, but at the same time two of her colleagues got laid off. The reform has changed the lives of many, who have had to adapt to the reality of a new economic environment.Not only laid-off workers need to find jobs, tens of thousands of Chinese graduates also want to find them as well. About ten years ago, the Chinese government stopped the practice of assigning jobs to college graduates. Now, they have to face their first employment challenges on their own.20%of Graduates Are JoblessUrban unemployment might be low, but recent college graduates are having a tough time getting a job. A recent blue paper issued by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says that one out of every five graduates is unable to find work.All these college students and recent graduates crowding into the Beijing Expo Center have just one goal: to find themselves a job. One that pays well, has a good reputation, and matches their major if that exists.Water Zhu graduated last June with a degree in computer technology. He moved to Beijing from Inner Mongolia to improve his prospects. This is his eighth job fair.(Water Zhu)“Competition is so high, so it’s very hard. They want to hire the best, and not everyone is the best —o of course i t’s quite difficult.”5The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reports that in 2006, 4.13 million students graduated in China. Last year, it was 4.95 million. This year, 5.5 million additional graduates will be looking for work. About 20% of the graduates last year failed to find a job. Those they did may have to settle for salaries lower than they expected, in jobs they didn’t train for.Graduates can’t find work—but companies say they can’t find people to hire. Even here at this crowded fair, these recruiters say very few people actually spoke to them to ask about jobs —and that’s not what they’re looking for.(Robert Norrie, Volk Uniontech)“We’re looking for somebody who is really confident, who has an out -going personality” (Wu Hai, L.A.D. Industries)“Bui lding confidence is important. Universities should focus more on this – many students have very little opportunity to present themselves.”Experts say the Chinese university system churns out graduates who have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but not very much practical knowledge for today’s workplace.But universities are struggling too, as enrollment numbers keep surging. This year, almost 6 million students will enter university —a five percent increase from last year.(Zeng Xiangquan, Dean of School of Labor & Human Resources of Renmin University) “Higher enrollment means universities sometimes cannot keep up—they can’t meet the demands and provide sufficient resources for all of the students.”The government is trying to ease pressures too —at the beginning of this year the China Employment Promotion Law went into effect to ban hiring discrimination and help graduates who take jobs outside of the big cities. But that still doesn’t address what some see as the biggest challenge: teaching students to function in a workplace.Today’s graduates need what are called soft skills: communication, teamwork, and theability to work on projects. And a survey by job search website found that the majority of recruiters want graduates who have work experience.Its human resources consultant has this advice: Don’t hold out for an impossible ideal. Take any offer you can get, and just start working.(Jim Hao, Consultant of )“Get a job. Whatever, first. And to kn ow yourself and your environment step by step until you gradually get a clearer picture of yourself —your interest, your ability, and your environment. Which industry is the most suitable for you?”That’s exactly what graduate Water Zhu is doing. He’s found temporary work at a stock brokerage, while he keeps searching for jobs in the computer industry. He says despite the competition, what’s important isn’t landing the dream job—it’s figuring out how to get there. (Water Zhu)“It’s only during the job search that I began to realize what I’m capable of. That has actually been the most useful thing —to understand myself better and set goals for my future.”练习答案6 Unit Two Job HuntingTask One: Graduates feel market squeeze1.

Europe is offering a similar trove of information via the Internet - allowing users to access tens of thousands of paintings, books, manuscripts, sound recordings, newspapers and other items from across the European Union. European Commission spokesman Martyn Selmayr says the Europeana digital library is planning to expand enormously in the years to come.“Today is just the beginning,” he said. “We have two million objects today on Europeana - cultural objects which exist in digital form. Our objective is to have by the year 2010, 10 million digitized objects available from all over Europe and they will be offered in 23 languages so everybody around the world has access to these cultural heritages of the European Union member states.That includes digitalized representations of masterpieces from the Louvre museum in Paris or manuscripts of composers like Beethoven - or books from libraries around Europe - although only a small fraction of the region’s 2.5 billion books wil l be available online in the coming years.The project is one way to showcase the European Union - this time through its cultural heritage.“On the one side it shows that Europe is made up not of a single unified culture but that it has 27 nations and each one of them has a very long history,” said Selmayr. “It also shows what we have in common and gives the perspective of the neighbors.”“For example, that’s very interesting to see that the fall of the Berlin Wall - very important for German history and also for European history - is something you can find on Europeana in the form of a film that is today stored in the French national audiovisual institute. So Germans, Hungarians, British citizens and also Americans can see this big event, but through the eyes of French citizens,” he continued.Those who want to check out the new European library can click onhttp://dev.europeana.eu/.题目：1.The Europeana digital library allows users to access tens of thousands of paintings, books, manuscripts, sound recordings, newspapers and other items from across the European Union.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：2.The Europeana digital library is planning to expand enormously in the years to come.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：3.By the year 2010, Europeana’s objective is to have two million objects available from all over Europe.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：4.Europe is made up of 37 member nations and each one of them has a very long history.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：5.The fall of the Berlin Wall is very important for German history but not for European history.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:2.Exercise 2: Listen to the passage and answer each question by giving the best choice.老师意见:EU Opens Online LibraryCall it the 21st century version of the famous Alexandria library that served as a hub of knowledge in ancient times.

So it really got into me. Then he had to buy me a piano to start training myself on how to play the piano.”Njoroge was one of three Kenyan tenors who sang recently in honor of Luciano Pavarotti, the late Italian tenor who Njorge hopes to emulate.Kenya’s boom in classical music is especially pronounced among the young. Enrollment in private tutoring sessions at the Kenya Conservatoire of Music has gone up 25 percentwithin the past two years. Three radio stations in Kenya now offer regular classical music programming.Elizabeth Njoroge studied classical music abroad. Back home the soprano not only performs, this year she also founded the magazine Classics, for Kenya’s classical musical lovers.“In Kenya as a whole I think there has been a rebirth of the arts, and not just music”. “There are also a lot more plays happening, more art exhibitions.”Njoroge says the country’s growing middle class now has more money, time and other resources to appreciate and pursue the arts.Kenya has a rich heritage of traditional music, with the country’s many ethnic cultures having distinctive instruments and beats.Music teacher Lola Akwabi says she thinks the presence of western classical music in Kenya does not detract from the country’s homegrown music, that there is room for both.“It is very interesting that someone will actually walk in here and tell me, you know why are you doing this Western culture, why aren’t you doing your African culture? And I am thinking, you should be dressed in a skin, speaking Swahili asking me that question,” Akwabi said.Any debate over Kenya’s native music is far from student Jonathan Wamukota’s mind.

But its roots run much deeper.Made from the seed of the tropical cacao tree, chocolate dates back at least 3,000 years to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, where the cacao tree is native. The Aztec people valued the tree’s cocoa beans so much, they used them as currency.In what is now Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, new archaeological evidence shows that people were eating chocolate here more than 1,000 years ago.And they’re still at it. Today, the average American eats almost 5 kilograms of chocolate each year.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She is co-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C.“I think it’s one of the best comfort foods there is. It’s easy to eat. It melts in your mouth. There’s a warm sensation,”Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron’s chocolates are made with the finest ingredients, right on the premises.“You can definitely taste the difference between something that’s just been poured, hot off the presses to having sat on the shelf for three to six months; some of the larger corporations tend to do.Friedman’s partner and Kron’s chief chocolate-maker, Trish Schutz, says the shop is doing well, with good reason.“Well, it’s very good chocolate, and we have a large retu rn client base that comes back and back.”Dan Melman is one of those clients. “The cream truffles they make here are so decadent I remember reading about them years ago and tried them, and I’ve continued to come back again and again,, calling them”(Chocolate stores spread nationwide)Americans’ love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country.

They started with small stores - much like Kron - but soon expanded their business into broader markets - thanks, Sesler notes, to an important technological advance.“It’s the advent of refrigeration that has really made the availability of chocolate very prevalent throughout the United States,I think Chocolate has secured its place as a delectable treat for a number of societies and a number of countries so I think we are just one of the many countries to enjoy the delicacy that is chocolate.题目：1.The Aztec people valued chocolate so much, they used them as currency.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：2.In what is now Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, new archaeological evidence shows that people were eating chocolate here more than 3,000 years ago.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:题目：3.There is some difference between the chocolate that’s just been poured, hot off the presses,and the chocolate that has sat on the shelf for three to six months.文本：你的答案:正确答案:T得分:老师意见:题目：4.Kron Chocolatiers, a big, gourmet chocolate shop has a large return client base that comes back and back.文本：你的答案:正确答案:F得分:老师意见:2.Exercise 2: Listening for Specific Facts: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.老师意见:Americans Have Longstanding Love Affair with ChocolateChocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie.

One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at body temperature,” So when you put chocolate inyour mouth, it has a mouth feel that’s unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food.”But that melt-in-your-mouth sensation comes at a price. Chocolate as we know it today is made with lots of sugar and milk, both very high in calories. That’s given chocolate a rather bad reputation among nutritionists.In recent years, however, research has proved that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is also naturally rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants - a fact that chocolate manufacturers like Russell Stover are happily promoting.“Anything that creates such emotional bonds as chocolate- and also actually can be good for you - is just another reason to enjoy chocolate throughout your day.Kron’s Cheri Friedman has noticed the trend. “In the last two years, partly due to media putting it out there that dark chocolate have definitely picked up.”But Friedman has also noticed something else. “And also the educated some, they are coming in a lot more and really being sele ctive on what they decide to put in their mouth”. Susan Fussell agrees.“We do see a trend towards more gourmet and premium chocolates, and it’s interesting. We see that trend really strengthening, even in a time of economic hardship.”But no matter the preference, Fussell says when it comes to holidays, chocolate is king, especially on Valentine’s Day, every February 14th. That’s a day when people all across the country express their love for one another with gifts, flowers, cards a nd - more often than not - chocolates.“Valentine’s Day itself, February 14th, is the single largest sales day during the year for sales of boxed chocolates,” she says.Back to a busy weekday afternoon, customers such as 24-year-old Kron Gill were shopping for Valentine’s Day treats.“I love chocolates; I’m in this store because I like its particular kind”. While others were simply celebrating the joys of chocolate.“I love chocolates more than other kinds of sweets”, “they are lovely, I love them”, “cause they taste good,ok？” “We love chocolates”, “It’s delicious, it’s good for you”, “I eat more chocolate than I should, even at my age”, “you know it has a wonderful mouth fills to it whether it has whatever in it, it just makes you hap pier in having it”,” It’s good for your soul, and it’s good for your stomach and makes you feel good, and there’s nothing better when you are happy or depressed. Have a pound of chocolate.”, “Thanks for a lot of happy on Valentine’s Day”.题目：1.What is the main idea of this piece of news?文本：。
