The code of feminine politeness, instilled in girlhood, is no help in dealing with the unw

anted approaches of strange men. Our mothers didn’t teach us to tell a man to get lost; they told us to smile and hint that we' d be just delighted to spend time with the gentleman if we didn’t have other commitments. The man in the Oak Room bar would not be put off by a demure lowering of eyelids; he had to be told, roughly and loudly, that his presence was a nuisance.

Not that I am necessary against men and women picking each other up in pubhc places. In most instances, a small a mourn of sensitivity will tell a woman or a man whether someone is open to approaches.

Mistakes can easily be corrected by the kind of courtesy so many people have abandoned since the "sexual, revolution". One summer evening, I was whiling away a half hour in the outdoor bar of the Stanhope Hotel. I was alone, dressed up, having a drink before going on to meet someone in a restaurant. A man at the next table asked, "If you' re not busy, would you like to have a drink with me? "I told him I was sorry but I would be leaving shortly. "Excuse me for disturbing you, "he said, turning back to his own drink. Simple courtesy. No insults and no hurt feelings.

One friend suggested that I might have avoided the incident in the Oak Room by going to the Palm Court instead. It’s true that the Palm Court is a traditional meeting place for unaccompanied ladies. But I don’t like violins when I want to talk. And I want to sit in a large, comfortable, leather chair. Why should I have to hide among the potted palms to avoid men who think I' m looking for something else?

What is the author’s attitude towards the traditional instruction of feminine politeness?

A.She thought it should be cultivated from girlhood.

B.She implied that it was not always useful and practical.

C.She suggested it should be rid of completely.

D.She thought it was totally out of date.

Organic food: Why?

1. Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, expanding by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. So what is the attraction of organic food for some people? The really important thing is that organic sounds more "natural". Eating organic is a way of defining oneself as natural, good, caring, different

from the junk-food-eating masses.

2. Unlike conventional farming, the organic approach means farming with natural, rather than man-made, fertilisers and pesticides. Techniques such as crop rotation(轮种)improve soil quality and help organic farmers compensate for the absence of man-made chemicals. As a method of food produc-tion, organic is, however, inefficient in its use of labour and land; there are severe limits to how much food can be produced. Also, the environmental benefits of not using artificial fertilisers are tiny com-pared with the amount of carbon dioxide emitted(排放)by transporting food.

3. Organic farming ,is often claimed to be safer than conventional farming. Yet studies into organic farming worldwide continue to reject this claim An extensive review by the UK Food Standards Agency found that there was no statistically significant difference between organic and conventional crops. Even where results in-dicated there was evidence of a difference, the reviewers found no sign that these differences would have any noticeable effect on health.

4. The simplistic claim that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food was always likely to be misleading. Food &39;is a natural product, and the health value of different foods will vary for a number of rea-sons, including freshness, the way the food is cooked, the type of soil it is grown in, the amount of sunlight and rain crops have received, and so on Likewise, the flavour of a carrot has less to do with whether it was fertilised with manure(粪便) or something out of a plastic sack than with the variety of carrot and how long ago it was dug up .

5. The notion that organic food is safer than "normal" food is also contradicted by the fact that many of our most common food are full of natural toxins(毒素). As one research expert says:"People think that the more natural something is, the better it is for them. That is simply not the case. In fact,it is the opposite that is true: the closer a plant is to its natural state, the more likely it is that will poison you. Naturally, many plants do not want to be eaten, so we have spent 10,000 years developing agriculture and breeding out harmful traits from crops. "
