When your parents are busy with work and have no time to cook, you can pick up the phone and order some food for yourself. Lots of people order takeaway these days. But did people eat takeaway in ancient China
The answer is yes! There was takeaway from the Song Dynasty. People at that time didn’t have phones. But they could still order food. Families with much money had servants. They went out to pick up dishes for their hosts. Some restaurants had delivery workers(外卖员). They walked around the city or waited outside theaters. People paid them to deliver food. People also liked to order takeaway for big days, such as birthdays, festivals and some days when friends visited. People would order their food before the big day came. The delivery workers would bring dishes to their houses.
Now delivery workers use electric bikes(电瓶车) to deliver food. But in the past, delivery workers delivered food on foot. It took a long time and the food would get cold easily. Some restaurants used a special plate to keep their food warm. It had two layers of porcelain(两层陶瓷). People put hot water between the two layers to keep the dishes warm.

Food deliverymen(外卖员)can be seen on nearly every street in many Chinese cities. However, the job is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Recently, an article in the Chinese magazine showed how difficult the job can be. It describes the physical and mental(身心的)pressure that delivery workers face because of time limits(限制)set by food delivery apps. Delivering an order late, even by one second, results in a fine(罚款).
The time limit has increased the risk of traffic accidents. According to a 2017 report, a serious injury or death involving(涉及)a delivery worker happens every 2.5 days in Shanghai.
According to the article, the time limit for each order is set by an algorithm(算法). If an order is finished within the time limit, the limit will be shortened for every delivery worker. But the algorithm doesn’t consider real-life situations. To solve the problem, a food delivery company Eleme said it will add something new to its delivery app. Customers can choose to click a button(点击按钮)which means they are willing to wait longer to give riders more time.
However, some people questioned that change. “Will riders be forced to take more orders if I choose to click that button ” said Wang Fang, a 17-year-old student from Hefei. “It is much better to let the apps change their algorithms. We customers are not responsible for this matter.”
1．The first and second paragraphs show that ________.
A．more and more people choose to be food deliverymen
B．the job for food deliverymen is dangerous and stressful
C．food deliverymen face heavy fine if they fail to deliver the food in time
D．food delivery apps are hard on deliverymen
2．What is the problem of the algorithm of the time limit
A．The algorithm is wrong.
B．The algorithm is out of fashion.
C．The algorithm doesn’t consider the real situation.
D．The algorithm has changed many times.
3．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Many food delivery apps take action to protect the deliverymen.
B．The time limit has been shortened by Eleme.
C．Many customers don’t want to give riders more delivery time.
D．Some people are not satisfied with the new method that Eleme adopted(采用).
4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To show how terrible the traffic jam in China is
B．To ask the food delivery companies to pay more for deliverymen.
C．To call on food delivery companies to take more useful action.
D．To encourage customers to be polite to food deliverymen.
