27、You may have heard of the word “pub” . It is short for public house. There are around 60,000 pubs in the U.K. One of the oldest pubs，Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans，Hertfordshire，is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.

【1】 People talk，eat，drink，meet their friends and relax there. Pubs often have two bars，one usually quieter than the other，and many have a garden where people can sit in summer. Children can go into pub gardens with their parents.

28、   Ishikawa Yumi had to work eight hours every day and her employer insisted that she should be in heels（高跟鞋）at work."Why do we have to hurt our feet at work,when men can wear flat shoes?"she complained on Twitter.The tweet exploded.

Encouraged,she gathered 18,800 signatures on a request calling for a ban on employers requiring women to wear high heels,which she handed in to the government last June.Ms Ishikawa became the face of the KuToo campaign.

More than 60%of Japanese women with jobs have been forced to put their feet into heels at work or have witnessed women partners having to,according to a survey.Female workers at a department store,must walk around the shop in 5cm heels.The former defence minister,Inada Tomomi,had to struggle about in heels even on the deck of a visiting American aircraft carrier.

Dress codes at many Japanese firms are strict.Some ban glasses for women（but not men）,because they are unattractive.This is especially unreasonable for those who find contact lenses（隐形眼镜）uncomfortable.Women have always been told to follow the dress code,even if it causes pain,"says Ms Ishikawa.Japanese bosses,who tend to be older men,often expect their female workers to tolerate it.

The government made no quick reply.A former labour minister,who received Ms Ishikawa's request last year,insists that wearing high heels at work is"necessary and appropriate".The request itself has received no official reply so far.Japan is the second lowest out of the 29 rich countries in equality for women in the workplace.

But Japanese companies are slowly taking measures to improve the situation.In late March Japan Airlines announced that its female flight attendants can kick off their heels and replace skirts with trousers if they choose.AU three big mobile-phone operators have relaxed their rules on heels.Ms Ishikawa is working together with a shoe company to produce beautiful heel-less shoes."Society is changing,”says Ms Ishikawa.“We can't be ignored."Pointless rules about footwear may soon be gone.

C.Ms Ishikawa is appealing to the public to punish employers.

29、   What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them.

Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality (性格) more than anything else, CBC News reported.

“We have always assumed that liking drives intake — we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.

But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.

In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin (辣椒素), the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.

By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.

Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand (耐受) spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling,” Hayes explained.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?

A.Dislike. B.Fear.

C.Put up with. D.Adapt to.

【2】What did Professor John E. Hayes and his team discover from their study?

A.What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.

B.Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.

C.Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.

D.People are wrong to treat " spicy" as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.

【3】Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?

A.Because their taste has become less sensitive.

B.Because they love the burning feeling.

C.Because they want to challenge themselves.

D.Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.What one likes to eat mainly depends on one’s personality.

B.Whether one enjoys spicy food depends largely on one’s personality.

C.One’s personal experiences have nothing to do with their taste.

D.Different people have different taste.
