Easy, it can inspire an entire city to hold a huge arts festival. It happened in Grand Rapids, Michigan, when a gigantic piece of sculpture was installed on a downtown plaza. In 1969, a type of stationary abstract sculpture, called a stabile, was installed downtown in front of City Hall. Twentieth century American artist Alexander Calder created it. Calder's stabiles are constructed of flat curving shapes of metal welded together and usually painted red or black. His stabiles are playful, fanciful creations that look great in parks and plazas. Once the sculpture was in place, the people of Grand Rapids started thinking that they needed an arts festival to celebrate Calder's work. More important, they needed an arts festival to celebrate the arts in West Michigan. So, in 1970, Festival was born. This three-day arts celebration, held the first full weekend in June in downtown Grand Rapids, attracts thousands of participating artists. Festival has grown from a few booths and food stalls into the nation's largest all-volunteer arts festival, with more than 20,000 volunteers and more than 500,000 people attending. It has grown so large that it is spread out over almost all of downtown – that is a monster of a festival, and it is certainly worth a visit.

But one of its most profound effect may well be on the biggest decision that most people make—choosing a mate. In the early 1990s the notion of meeting a partner online seemed freakish, but today, in many places, it is normal. Globally, at least 200 million people use digital dating services every month. In America more than a third of marriages now start with an online match-up. The Internet is the second-most-popular way for Americans to meet people of the opposite sex. In the physical world, partners are found in family networks or among circles of friends and colleagues. People who meet online are overwhelmingly likely to be strangers. As a result, dating digitally offers much greater choice. A bar, choir or office might have a few tens of potential partners for any one person. Online there are tens of thousands. In addition to this greater choice, the digital dating market is far more efficient than the offline kind because digital connections are made only with mutual consent. Furthermore, for most people, digital dating offers better outcomes. Research has found that marriages in America between people who meet online are likely to last longer; such couples profess to be happier than those who met offline. In America, divorce rates climbed until just before the advent of the Internet, and have fallen since. There are problems with the modern way of love, however. Many users complain of stress when confronted with the digital technologies. Strangers can issue quick judgments on attractiveness without careful thought. Studies showed that digital dating has been linked to depression. The second problem is the fake accounts that exist in the digital platforms: 10% of all newly created dating profiles do not belong to real people. Yet such concerns should not change the good that comes from the modern way of romance. Digital dating offers millions of people a more efficient way to find a good mate. That is something to love.

41. What is the passage mainly about? (A) Modern love. (B) Hopeless love. (C) Lost love. (D) First love.

42. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of online dating? (A) Better outcomes. (B) Greater choice. (C) More efficient. (D) Less stressful.

43. Which of the following is true according to the passage? (A) People who meet online are often the circles of friends they know well. (B) Marriages in the States who meet online are likely to last longer. (C) Men are more likely to use Internet to find partners. (D) Rich people tend to find mates in a family circle.

44. What may we infer from the passage? (A) Fake account may discourage people from dating online. (B) Females are afraid of using the Internet to find mates. (C) Same sex daters seldom meet their partners online. (D) The author does not like to promote online dating.
