考点规范练 12 Unit 2 Healthy eating
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·全国Ⅱ)
Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s 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 Bechtel’s “me” time.And like more Americans,she’s 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 he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little
interaction(交流).“I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the
week,” he said.“It’s 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
doesn’t 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.Restau
