It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries — England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom)．The term “Uni on Jac k” possibly dates from Queen Anne's time, but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James Ⅰ who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”；or, as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation(声明) issued by Charles Ⅱ that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit(船首)．The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King's forts and castles, but not elsewhere); it is today flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at halfmast (下半旗)．The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen's command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen's official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation of Parliament; it is also flown on St David's Day, St George's Day, St Andrew's Day, and St Patrick's Day.Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.语篇解读：本文分析了英国国旗The Union Jack的起源和使用场合。

3. Forcibly, she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, depositing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal. My only memory of him is that he swayed on his heels like a palm tree, and he always clasped his impatient twitching hands behind his back. I recognized him as a repressed maniacal child killer, and knew that if we ever saw his hands we'd be in big trouble.

“Leftover” women struggle to keep standards
“Leftover” women struggle to keep standardsIt's a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of wallets and wardrobes must be in want of her wedding.My friend Carrie Chou, a drop-dead gorgeous, 28-year-old marketing executive, had her seven-day-vacation booked in advance for an interchangeable line-up ofwell-shaved, well-coiffed and well-groomed gentlemen – not business negotiators, but single men on the lookout for a prospective bride."I'm either in the middle of a blind date or on my way to it," Carrie grumbled. "Thanks to my parents trying to hook me up with some guy.""They will shed tears of relief when I finally walk down the aisle, not caring if the groom is Mr Wong or Mr Wrong," she predicted.Single women in China like Carrie may find themselves lampooned and labeled as "sheng nü," loosely translated as "leftover women", referring to untold legions of urban women in their late 20s and 30s, who are highly-educated, highly-paid and highly-independent, yet alas, still single, and unlikely to get hitched anytime soon.In some metropolises, single women outnumber men to a staggering seven to three, according to , a premier dating site patronized by white-collar workers. China's culturally ingrained preference for sons plus sex-selective abortions have created a widening gender imbalance.Then how come it is challenging for the fairer sex to find an ideal suitor, even when there is a large surplus of male bachelors out there in the marriage market?Creative netizens illustrate the dilemma by hierarchical taxonomy of both genders –alpha and beta males/females.Based on nuptial orthodoxy, alpha males choose and court beta females. Who is out of the picture?Alpha women and beta men.But the sassy, savvy A-list ladies and the unappealing, unattached cut-rate dudes would make ahighly unlikely match.Moreover, marriage is less compelling for women who can survive and thrive by living solo."Over the boundless crowds I am seeking my soul-mate. It will be a great delight if I make it; ifnot, it will be my fate," Carrie quoted a poem as saying.However in a nation where tying the knot is an essential ritual and there is a social stigma attachedto being single, individuals' dating and mating appears more of a public display, open fordiscussion and intervention by pushy do-gooders and pesky nosey parkers.（以上为必须翻译的部分，以下为文章后半部分，供参考。

Beauty, closely studied, seems nearly indistinguishable from quick math.拥有美貌的人，不管你是经过细致研究还是粗略一看，他都是那么美。
Men seem to prefer women with a low waist-to-hip ratio. Women prefer men with optimally long jaws. For reasons we don't entirely understand, humans find symmetrical faces consistently bewitching. A 2005 study found women can accurately guess the symmetry of a man's face just by smelling his tee-shirt. These calculations are made with breathtaking speed. We decide whether we like a face in no more than 13 milliseconds, according to a 2005 study. (That's 30x faster than an average blink.)男人似乎更喜欢细腰丰臀的女人，而女人则偏爱下巴长而有型的男人。
我们不能全然得知其中缘由，但人们一直都认为左右脸对称协调的人最为迷人。
2005年有一项调查显示，女人可以单凭男人T恤上的气味精准判断这个男人脸部的对称性。

From 2000 to 2009, U.S. adults ages 25-34 who are married dropped from 55 percent to 45 percent.
