Food poems, like love poems, have the potential to be vague and sad. The New York Times' description of a book of food poetry refers to Winston Churchill's supposed declaration, “Take away this pudding. It has no theme.” This, of course, is a sad comment on food. Yes, eating can be mere gluttony(暴饮暴食) at times—we've all had late-night chocolate or thoroughly enjoyed McDonald's breakfast hash browns(土豆煎饼). In fact, writers like Daniel Orozco paint poetic pictures of these sorts of food—the thrill and shame of junk food.
Food poetry can be unbelievably described, inspiring feelings of pleasure and homesickness in the same way as eating does. It can also be straightforward or playful—just like food itself. Shell Silverstein's Italian Food starts off with “Oh, how I love Italian food/I eat it all the time/not just cause how good it tastes/But cause how good it rhymes,” and continues in rhyming couplets(对句) for the remainder of the poem.
Other food poems—certainly the best ones—have layers of complexity that are slowly revealed, like eating a perfectly assembled sandwich or drinking skillfully mixed drink. Henrick Ibsen's Tea—A Comparison From Love's Comedy begins with a pleasant garden gathering but quickly delves into(探究) the scenery and politics of Eastern nations, from which the tea was imported.
Still other food poems are simple collections of the poet's most beloved meal, like Carlos Williams' loyalty to caviar(鱼子酱),For Viola: De Gustibus. He writes, “Beloved you are/ Caviar of Caviar/Of all I love you best /O my Japanese bird nest.” Similarly, Jonathan Swift declares his love for mutton in the emotional cooking poem: How I Shall Dine.
Kevin Young, the editor of The Hungry Ear, a collection of food poetry published last year, explains poets' love for food: “One of the things I think poets enjoy about a great meal is that it goes away...that you make a terrific meal for friends and family, and if you succeed, it's gone.”
1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A.Winston Churchill doesn't like puddings.
B.Food poems and love poems are the same.
C.Eating is a bad subject in terms of poetry.
D.Many people like junk food despite its harm.
2.Why does the author refer to Shell Silverstein's poem
A.To suggest that Shell Silverstein is the best poet.
B.To prove that food poems have some complexity.
C.To show that food poetry can be straightforward or playful.
D.To show how Shell Silverstein likes Italian food.
3.Henrick Ibsen's poem in the third paragraph is one that .
A.slowly reveals some complexity
B.introduces where tea was imported
C.was referred to as the best food poem
D.talks about a pleasant garden gathering
4.Who writes about his favorite food
A.Henrick Ibsen. B.Carlos Williams.
C.Kevin Young. D.Shell Silverstein.

Scientists 1 (insist) for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. However, there is increasing evidence 2 the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站).“I'm paying for myself,and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile,handing over seven tickets. One after another,the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed,“Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”
It turned out that the woman,Natalie Smith,had read something on a friend's refrigerator:“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down as soon as she got home.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days,she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down in her diary. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said,explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters,“like a message from above.” Her husband,Frank,liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students,one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson,a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper,admitting that though she liked it,she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant. She really wanted to find out the originator(提出者) of this phrase and know about the story of it.
Two days later,Alice got a call from Anne Herbert,a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper,after turning it around in her mind for days. The restaurant was decorated in a simple style and the owner had a kind heart. He regularly handed out food to the beggars nearby,which left a deep impression on Anne.
Then Alice asked her what her idea was.
Paragraph 1:
“Here's the idea,”Anne says.
Paragraph 2:
The world will be much better when the acts of random kindness spread.

Paragraph 1:
“Here's the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of,do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools,leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town,sending clothes to children without parents,passing on kindness to a stranger with a smile,and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says,“Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”
Paragraph 2:
The world will be much better when the acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid,who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events,kindness begins slowly with every single act. Try your best and do whatever you can to show your kindness in daily life. And you will find the world is full of beauty.Unit 3Food And Culture同步巩固练-part 1

Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it 1 . I'm here to try to convince you that porridge can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.
Porridge is a type of food served for breakfast, usually a type of grain with either milk or water. It is thicker than liquid, but not solid. 2 , so it's a very good option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.
Porridge preparation, such as the amount of materials and cooking time, depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. 3 , I put a very big handful of oats in a pot, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. It takes about five minutes to cook.
Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavor. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavor. 4 , I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Seeds, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then sugar and chocolate are also ideal options.
5 . Either oats or corn or both are “staple foods” for most people on the earth. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are.
Hopefully porridge sounds a lot tastier now!
A.If you've never eaten it
B.If I'm cooking for myself
C.The porridge base is very easy to digest
D.It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either
E.It is often heated up but lacks all kinds of nutrition
F.You can make porridge almost anywhere in the world

A
While we were growing up, our mother reminded us not to put our elbows on the table, to put our napkin in our lap, and to chew with our mouth closed until one day, elegant table manners became a natural habit.
Just as we in the U.S. practice standard etiquette(礼节) for dining, so do people in countries around the world. But when we gather around a table to eat, our table manners may differ from others' manners, depending on where in the world they are.
In Chile, for example, it's a bad form to eat anything with your hands, which means even sandwiches should be sliced off with a knife and picked up with a fork. Ethiopians, however, consider it wasteful to eat with utensils (器皿), and eat everything with their hands—specifically their right hand.
In parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, diners pay respect to Pachamama, the Andean goddess of fertility and harvest, by spilling(洒出) a few drops of their drink on the ground and saying, “Para la Pachamama.” This ritual is called “cha'lla”. To make an offering, some tip their glass over, and others flick(轻弹) it with two fingers.
It's customary in Egypt to wait for someone else to refill your glass and for you to refill your neighbor's glass when needed. If a glass is less than half full, it needs refilling. If your neighbor forgets to refill your glass, you can let him know it needs to be refilled by pouring a little more drink into his glass. It's never acceptable, however, to refill your own glass.
In England,port (波尔图葡萄酒) is continuously passed to the left side of the table until it's finished. Some say this has to do with the naval (海军的) tradition—the port side of a boat is on your left if you're facing the helm(舵)—but the true reason is unclear. If the port is not passed, it's considered impolite to ask for it. Instead, a neighbor can ask the person who has it, “Do you know the Bishop of Norwich ” If they reply that they don't know him, the response is, “He's a very good chap(家伙), but he always forgets to pass the port.”
1.How do people eat in Chile
A.They seldom use utensils.
B.They prefer to use their hands.
C.They only eat sandwiches with a knife and fork.
D.They always eat with utensils.
2.In which country people practise a religious ceremony before eating their meals
A.Bolivia. B.Ethiopia.
C.Egypt. D.England.
3.What should you do if you want to have your glass refilled in Egypt
A.Pour a little drink into your glass.
B.Keep your glass half full.
C.Pour a little more drink into your neighbor's glass.
D.Show your glass to your neighbor.
4. When someone says “Do you know the Bishop of Norwich ”, what does he want you to do
A.Pass him the port. B.Watch your manners.
C.Listen to a legend. D.Drink the port.

US food author M.F.K. Fisher once wrote about humans, “First we eat, then we do everything else.”
This is why each year we celebrate World Food Day, which falls on Oct.16. But regardless of the importance of food around the world, food cultures often differ greatly from country to country. For example, things like chicken feet, duck heads, and pig brains are commonly eaten in Asia. If you asked most Westerners to try one of these things, though, the very thought of it would probably be enough to make them give up meat altogether.
At the same time, however, the majority of people in Western nations regard themselves as meat eaters. So, what could be the reason behind this double standard
There are a number of possible answers to that question, yet one major reason could lie in recent cultural changes. During the mid-20th century and the years following it, eating most parts of an animal was common in many Western countries such as the UK—perhaps owing to rationing(定量配给政策) as a result of World War Ⅱ(1939—1945).
But later, during the 1960s and 1970s, following the introduction of highways in the US and the UK, the popularity of supermarkets in those countries increased, wrote Francesco Burnett, author of Cultural History of Meat: 1900-The Present.
Thanks to the popularity and convenience of supermarkets which tend not to sell animal parts such as the heads or limbs(四肢), the public's attitude to meat soon shifted. “The ‘animal’ gradually disappeared from meat, and people's ignorance about what animal the meat they ate came from increased,” Burnett added.
As a result, it's believed that many Western cultures slowly began to view meat as simply a food product, rather than as something that came from an animal.
However, this theory may go even further back if we look at the words the English language uses to describe meat. “We ‘de-animalize’ certain foods that we eat by giving them different names,” Hal Herzog, author of Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals, told online magazine Grist. “We don't say it's cooked pig; we say it's pork. And we don't say hamburger is made of cow; we say it's made of beef.”
So it seems that there's not one simple answer to this question. When it comes to eating meat, however, perhaps we should simply just enjoy the taste.
5.The main purpose of the first three paragraphs is to .
A.introduce various food cultures
B.stress Westerners' love for food
C.show differences in Chinese and Western food cultures
D.draw attention to Westerners' “de-animalizing” meat
6.What changed people's attitudes toward meat in the 1960s and 1970s
A.The words used to describe meat.
B.The rise of supermarkets.
C.The need for a healthier lifestyle.
D.The introduction of highways.
7.What does the underlined word “ignorance” mean in Paragraph 6
A.Blindness. B.Fear.
C.Misunderstanding. D.Challenge.

When you open a 4 of fruit or vegetables at home you have fresh-packed nutritional produce at hand, with no man-made ingredients and no preservatives (防腐剂).

And with the variety of fruit and vegetables available these days, you can serve different combinations, create new dishes, and 7 new tastes to old recipes. Canned foods are good as well.

Fruit and vegetables canning is as 10 as your grandmother “stores up” tomatoes and other things from the garden.

In America, bread or salad plates are to the left of the main plate, and drinking glasses are to the right. If small bread knives are present, lay them across the bread plate with the handle pointing to the right.
Modern etiquette (礼仪) provides the smallest numbers and types of utensils (用具) necessary for dining. Only utensils which are to be used for the planned meal should be set. For example, if a spoon is not necessary for dinner, it should not be set, and if a salad is not being served, a salad fork should not be set. Even if needed, hosts should not have more than three utensils on either side of the plate before a meal; the necessary silverware may be brought with later courses.
In restaurants, a standard complement (全套) of knife, fork, spoon, and salad fork may be set. If salad is being served first, the salad fork should be further from the plate than the main course fork, both on the left. The soup spoon is further from the plate than the main course spoon and knife, on the right. Dessert utensils (dessert fork and teaspoon) should be placed above the main plate or served with dessert. Restaurants and cafeterias may not follow these settings for convenience, and the diner should simply use the appropriate utensil for each course.
If a wine glass and a water glass are present, the wine glass is on the right directly above the knife.
