In the days before Diana became accustomed to daily hairdressers, high fashion and expertly applied makeup, she looked her best when she was wearing her least. No frilly blouses concealed her elegant neck, carefully cut skirts her long legs, or bulky sweaters her well-rounded figure. She was young and not fully aware of just how attractive she could be. But if she wanted to impress a young man, any young man, she always made it a point to go swimming or sailing or, at the very least, play a game of tennis.
When Prince Charles saw her aboard Britannia at Cowes in the late summer of 1980, he wasn't however particularly interested. She belonged to his younger brother Andrew's set, and had come aboard, not at Chariest s invitation, but with Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones, his cousin and sixteen years his junior.
Diana was three years older than Sarah, but still almost a generation away. And besides, Charles had his mind on other things—most particularly the breakup of his romance with the beautiful but self-willed Anna Wallace. There was also the fact that if he noticed Diana in anything more than passing, he thought about her as the sister of one of his former girlfriends—Lady Sarah Spencer—who had recently married (he hadn't attended), and whatever others might have been plotting he most certainly was not thinking of renewing his romantic links with the Spencer girls.
But if Charles was not instantly enchanted by the fresh, gambolling nineteen-year-old who spent some days aboard the Royal Yacht, his staff were. "She was so unassuming and so natural,' one recalls. And in the manner of all servants, particularly ones who are in the employ of the bachelor Prince, they inevitably started speculating amongst themselves if she was the one for what they called "the job".
So, it seems, did Diana. At the age of sixteen she had jokingly told a friend that she was "out to get' Charles. But that may have been just romantic fantasizing on the part of a young girl whose main reading was the soapy romances penned by her step-grandmother, the redoubtable Barbara Cartland. The Prince's late valet, Stephen Barry; insisted however: "She went after the Prince with single-minded determination. She wanted him—and she got him!"
She had, of course, met him many times before in the years of her childhood spent as a near-neighbour of the Windsors at Sandringham when Charles used to pop his head round the nursery door where she was having tea with Andrew and Edward, or during a shooting party on Sandringham Estate where at the age of sixteen she was reintroduced to him by her sister Sarah. More recently she had encountered him at polo. But then he had always been busy or with a girlfriend in tow. This time he was alone.
She made sure Charles was watching when she bravely followed his example and went windsurfing in the ehoppy and not-too-warm waters of the Solent. Naturally flirtatious, she made sure he noticed her long slim legs and trim figure. And he could not fail but start to take an interest—if only a comparative one—in the beautiful younger sister of a former girlfriend.
Accounts of this first meeting vary. Some claim that it is where the famous romance began. Others insist that his interest was but a mild one; that with Anna still in mind, the timing was wrong and he simply regarded her as a new and pretty addition to his surprisingly limited circle of friends.
But she had certainly impressed him enough for him to invite her up to Balmoral shortly afterwards. Diana accepted with alacrity.
To impress a young man, Diana might choose to play a game of tennis, because ______.
A．she was a highly skilled tennis player
B．she looked attractive in her tennis outfit
C．she preferred tennis to swimming
D．her hair-style. was fashionably designed

There is a story of a British official who was asked to marry a young French sailor and a Chinese girl-none of the three knowing much about the other languages. The official said to the girl, "This man want to take you home-side make wife. Can do, no can do？" She said shyly, "Can do", and the official pronounced them man and wife.
Pidgin English, though sometimes regarded as" baby talk", is a useful language spoken in a large part of Pacific islands. About 30 to 50 million people speak some form. of it.
Pidgin English we know today was born on the Chinese coast 300 years ago when the Western nations first began to trade there. The Western merchants and the Chinese communicated with each other by using Westerner's words and Chinese sentence patterns. The result became known as "business" language, or because the closest Chinese could come to pronounce business as "bishin" or later "bijin"--at last "pidgin". It has nothing to do with a pigeon though it's sometimes spelt that way.
What do you think the British official's words mean？
A．This man wants to marry you. Is it possible？ No, it's not possible.
B．This man wants to know if you are married If not, will you marry me？
C．This man wants you to find a wife for him. Can you help him？
D．This man wants to marry you and take you to his homeland Do you agree？

Imagine that the world consists of 20 men and 20 women, all of them heterosexual and in search of a mate．Since the numbers are even, everyone can find a partner．But what happens if you take away one man？ You might not think this would make much difference．You would be wrong，argues Tim Harford，a British economist， in a book called The Logic of Life． With 20 women pursuing 19 men, one woman faces the prospect of spinsterhood． So she ups her game． Perhaps she dresses more seductively． Perhaps she makes an extra effort to be obliging． Somehow or other, she “steals” a man from one of her fellow women． That newly single woman then ups her game, too, to steal a man from someone else． A chain reaction ensues．
Real life is more complicated, of course, but this simple model illustrates an important truth．In the marriage market, numbers matter．And among African-Americans，the difference is much worse than in Mr．Harford's imaginary example．Between the ages of 20 and 29, one black man in nine is behind bars．For black women of the same age, the figure is about one in 150．For obvious reasons, convicts are excluded from the dating pool．
Removing so many men from the marriage market has profound consequences．As imprisonment rates exploded between 1970 and 2007， the proportion of U.S.-born black women aged 30-44 who were married plunged from 62%to 33%．Why this happened is complex and furiously debated．The era of mass imprisonment began as traditional mores were already crumbling， following the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the invention of the contraceptive pill．① It also coincided with greater opportunities for women in the workplace． These factors must surely have had something to do with the decline of marriage．
But jail is a big part of the problem, argue Kerwin Kofi Charles, now at the University of Chicago． They divided America up into geographical and racial “marriage markets”, to take account of the fact that most people marry someone of the same race who lives relatively close to them．② Then, after crunching the census numbers， they found that a one percentage point increase in the male imprisonment rate was associated with a 2.4-point reduction in the proportion of women, who ever marry．③ Could it be, however, that mass imprisonment is a symptom of increasing social malfunction, and that it was this social malfunction that caused marriage to wither？④ Probably not. For similar crimes, America imposes much harsher penalties than other rich countries．Mr. Charles and Mr. Luoh controlled for crime rates, as a substitution for social malfunction, and found that it made no difference to their results. They concluded that “higher male imprisonment has lowered the likelihood that women marry...and caused a shift in the gains from marriage away from women and towards men.”
