It is reported that one in three of us eats more meals by ourselves than we do with other
people.But before you accept that somewhat depressing statistic，there is some good news—a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment.
Perhaps unsurprisingly，half of the UK's singles eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However，eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks—in fact it's now a both quick and entertaining affair.
“Suppertainment” is the phrase created for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer，TV or game controller.Single men are the majority leading this trend，with 60 percent of them spending mealtimes entertaining themselves with something.However，40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.
Boyd Hilton，TV and reviews editor of Heat magazine says，“Setting yourself up in front of the TV to suppertain comes naturally，especially when you've been busy all day.If I'm on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I'll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies like the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More 4 or Outnumbered on BBC 1.”
“I think it's such a bonus that healthy and tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time.”
36．Why don't many people eating alone feel lonely? A．They are too busy to feel lonely. B．People are happy to eat alone.
C．They eat with solitary entertainment. D．They have good news at mealtimes.
37．Which of the following best defines the term “suppertainment”？ A．The trend of eating alone among single people.
B．Eating alone accompanied by the computer，TV or game controller. C．Entertaining oneself with advanced technology.
D．Getting relaxed by watching comedies on TV or playing games on the computer.
38．What is the purpose of the author by quoting what Boyd Hilton said in the last paragraph? A．To emphasize the importance of healthy and tasty meals.
B．To tell people to have good meals without doing preparing work. C．To prove that “suppertainment” is a good idea.
D．To call people's attention to eating meals in relaxing manners.
课时作业(三十八)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查非谓语动词。过去分词作状语，其逻辑主语要和句子的主语保持一致，此处moved的逻辑主语应为the audience, 故选B项。
2．B 考查动词用法。bear后跟v.-ing形式或动词不定式作宾语，且此处应该使用被动形式。若选C，应改为：to be laughed at。
3．C 句意：打开电视或者翻开杂志，你经常会看到表现幸福、和谐家庭的广告宣传。此处考查“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”句型，其中陈述句多用一般将来时。
