《The Economist 经济学人》— 减肥药：真实的骨感
Weight-Loss jab(减肥注射) has turned out to be a hit. And for good reason，these drugs actually work and they may be approved for a 1._________(broad)set of uses. Clinical trials suggest 2._________ they could reduce the risk of heart attacks, kidney disease and perhaps even Alzheimer’s.
No wonder enthusiasm for the makers of these drugs, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, is at fever pitch. Since the start of 2023 Novo, maker of Wegovy, 3._________(see)its market capitalisation(值) soar by 87% to $560bn, making it Europe’s most valuable company. Meanwhile the market value of Lilly, maker of Zepbound , has more than doubled to $740bn.
4._________(give) the limited volumes and high prices for these drugs today, you might think that this nascent industry is on course to be a price-gouging duopoly(两强垄断). Actually, the market will soon look 5._________(complete) different from what you see now.
Right now the drugs are in short supply. Access will be an even bigger problem in much of the emerging world, 6._________is projected to experience the largest increases in obesity as incomes rise and diets change. So far most of Lilly’s and Novo’s sales have been in America, 7._________ the rest going mainly to Europe. Nor does it help emerging-world patients that the jabs need to be refrigerated,8._________(make) them unsuitable for use in countries with less developed supply chains. Both firms are pouring billions of dollars into boosting supply by building their own capacity and teaming up with other manufacturers.
Already more than 70 companies are running close to 100 clinical trials for obesity drugs. Some candidates in the pipeline could be more effective than existing treatments; others might do away with the 9._________ (convenient)of today’s drugs, which require patients to inject themselves once a week and to continue taking them indefinitely to keep their weight down. There are good reasons to think that in future the market will see expanded supply, lower prices and 10._________more global patient base.

《The Economist 经济学人》— 博物馆搬家：库存里有什么？
Beneath the gothic(哥特式的) main hall of the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London is a labyrinth(迷宫) of curiosities. Only a tiny fraction of the museum’s collection is on display—around 40,000 objects out of some 80m. Much 1.________(house)to the dim, crowded basement.
“We’ve outgrown this space,” says Clare Valentine, head of NHM’s life-sciences collection. Many museums have a hoarding problem. The British Museum exhibits just 1% of its treasures; the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, only 0.007%. In storage treasures are usually protected, but the old vaults are 2._________(danger) full.
One solution is to move house. The NHM is undertaking the world’s biggest relocation of a collection, 3._________ 28m objects are shifted to a new centre in Reading. The British Museum has already shifted some of its large sculptures and mosaics(马赛克) to a new storage centre, also in Reading. In France curators at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris are grumbling over a plan 4._________(move) their collection to Dijon. Across the Atlantic, the MIT Museum is in the final stages of shifting 1.5m objects.
5._________(move)may be stressful, but it can also afford the chance to rediscover, reassess and reorganise possessions. What’s more, some institutions might never miss the odd coin or pottery fragment. Catalogues of goods are outdated and incomplete even at the most august(庄严的) museums. But a new team, brought 6._________ for the move, will create a detailed database to register the relocated objects.
Modern buildings will shrink to-do lists in other ways. At one museum in Britain, a curator(馆长) spends half their time checking 7._________objects have not been infested with bugs. New facilities, by 8._________(compare), are climate-controlled and have quarantine zones to protect artefacts(工艺品) from pests.
For some, elaborate new storage facilities amount to window dressing. Museums are keeping too much, says Christopher Marinello, 9._________ art lawyer. He thinks the objects that are not on display should be donated or sold. However, the priority for many museums is getting treasures to safer, more 10._________(space) ground.

《经济学人》— Moussaka是如何成为希腊的国民美食？
In 1821 Greek revolutionaries1.________(rise) up against the Ottomans(奥斯曼帝国), setting off years of bloodshed(流血事件) that culminated in the creation of a free state in 1829. On March 25th each year Greeks celebrate Independence Day 2.________ parades and abundant feasts of bakaliaros skordalia, delicately battered cod with garlic dip.
And yet it is moussaka(希腊茄盒)—sloppy(太稀的) squares of 3.________(rich) flavoured mince, potatoes, aubergines(茄子) and indulgent béchamel sauce—that many consider Greece’s national dish. Its entry into the pantheon of Greek gastronomy came about a century after Greek 4.________ (depend). The country’s embrace of the dish is a lesson in 5.________traditions are forged and how a nation’s cuisine evolves.
Nikolaos Tselementes is considered the godfather of Greek moussaka. In the 1920s he published the first complete Greek cookbook, “Odigos Mageirikis” (“Cooking Guide”), 6.________included six recipes for moussaka. His creations contained none of the pungent flavours hitherto 7.________(use) by Greek cooks, such as bay leaf(月桂叶)and cinnamon(肉桂).
The chefs of antiquity had not tossed cumin or other “eastern” spices into their pots, he said.
His efforts to bake politics into food were 8.________(success). “Odigos Mageirikis” became a staple of wealthy urban kitchens and the word “tselementes” synonymous with 9.________ recipe book for a while. By 10.________(tap) into patriotism(爱国主义) and Hellenising the family, Tselementes revolutionised Greek cuisine.

《经济学人》—弗兰斯·哈尔斯：艺术家眼中的艺术家
INTHE LATE 19th century, Mary Cassatt,Edouard Manet and John singer Sargent took the Netherlands' first train line to Haarlem. There, in a small museum 1.________(attach) to the town hall, they could admire and copy the works of that city's greatest artist.
The artist was Frans Hals,who is the subject of a new exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Hals, who died in 1666,was 2.________ the most celebrated portraitists in Holland. He was famous for his technique, 3.________ created shimmering(闪烁的) effects at a distance but left his dynamic brushstrokes visible from up close.
At the turn of the 2oth century Hals,Rembrandt and Vermeer 4.________(consider) equals, the"big three" of the Dutch Golden Age.Yet Hals does not have the same standing today. Most people know Rembrandt's "The Night watch” and Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring"; few would recognise “The Regentesses". 5.________(follow) big exhibitions of Rembrandt and Vermeer, the Rijksmuseum's show of Hals's paintings tries to repair that neglect. Its 50-odd works include rarely seen paintings from private collections and several portraits of couples that normally hang 6.________(separate).
Why did Hals's reputation ever wane One explanation is 7.________ in an age of ubiquitous(无处不在的)snapshots, people had less appreciation for one of Hals's great strengths: his ability to convey fleeting expressions, especially smiles. These are tricky to pull off,with wrinkled eyes and curled lips, and most artists of the period avoided them.
This skill with momentary gestures appealed 8.________ the Impressionists. Hals spent a lot of time in bars, and his actors, 9.________(music) and street types boast swinging arms and gap-toothed grins. Scans show Hals used no preliminary sketches. But the camera may have made his extraordinary technique seem less valuable, according to Taco Dibbits,the Rijksmuseum's director:"Photography and film took over the need to depict movement."
To the Impressionists it felt as though they had looked back centuries and discovered a 10.________(hide) modernist. To today's viewers it feels the same way.

《经济学人》—房地产：时尚新房
From the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street the facade of Tiffany’s looks just as it did in 1961 when Audrey Hepburn, 1.________(dress) in a long black dress and pearls, nibbled on a croissant (牛角面包)outside it. Inside, 2.________, things are rather different. After a four-year, $500m renovation, shoppers are greeted by a more modern experience.
Everything shines: the rocks, the metal and marble display cases, the ceilings. It is the most glittering example of a luxury trend: huge bets on retail properties. lvmh has bought on Bond Street in London and the Champs-Elysées in Paris. In December Prada purchased its current store, 724 Fifth, and nabbed 720 Fifth, the shop next door, for 3.________ total of $835m.
These deals are being sorted at breakneck speeds and for record prices. From a handshake to 4.________(complete), some come together in weeks. The Kering and Prada purchases were, 5.________(usual), both “sign and close” deals—entire cash payments were made on the day the contracts were signed.
Why the rush Tiffany 6.________(own)727 Fifth for decades, but most brands have been happy to lease(租赁). Will Silverman of Eastdil Secured, an investment bank that advised Jeff Sutton, the developer 7.________sold to both Kering and Prada, points to growth in luxury sales and shifts in interest rates to explain the change of approach.
High-end goods began to fly off the shelves during the covid-19 pandemic, when people where flush with cash and had nowhere 8.________(go), and the frenzy(疯狂) has not abated since. Beautiful handbags that were once the privilege of the few are now bought by the many. Indeed, last year lvmh’s sales of fashion and leather goods were 40% 9.________(high) than in 2021.
Luxury goods still tend to be sold in person, 10.________(mean)that retailers are spending eye-watering sums to tempt people into their stores. “Manhattan might be getting taller,” notes Mr Silverman, “but it’s not getting any wider.” There is a limited amount of truly high-end space.
