UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测(一) 阅读理解专项练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US-based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.
Italy:While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6:00 pm, the Italians are searching for massages, shoes and job agencies.
Germany: Coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they've already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9:00 pm.
UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9:00 pm. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24-hour pharmacies by 10:00 pm, and then there's a steady interest in 24-hour food stores and delivery, until 1:00 am.
France: The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10:00 pm. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “nightclub” and “dance”.
Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology (皮肤科) at 10:00 pm, followed by swimming lessons at midnight.
