18、t think about their cuisine in such monolithic(统一的) terms,” he says. “French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each consist of dozens of distinct regional foods. And I think American cuisine is moving in the same direction, becoming more localized, not globalized. ”American cuisine is shaped b
19、y the natural wealth of the country. Having never faced agricultural hardship, Americans dont have to rely on rotating crops, such as the Japanese, whose food culture now showcases buckwheat (荞麦) alongside rice, or the Indians, or the French and Italians, who feature beans alongside wheat. “That kin
20、d of negotiation with the land forced people to incorporate(接受) those crops in to the culture,” says Barber. And so eating soba noodles becomes part of what it means to be Japanese, and eating beans becomes part of what it means to be French.So if what we eat is what we are, what are Americans? Well
21、, meat. “If Americans have any unifying food identity, I would say we are a mostly white meat culture,” says Barber. “The protein-centric dinner plate, whether youre talking about a boneless chicken breast, or a 16-ounce steak, as an everyday expectation is something that America really created, and
22、 now exports to the rest of the world.”Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations, says Ellen Gustafson, co-founder of the FEED Project and The 30 Project, which aims to deal with both hunger and overweight issues globally. “The celebratory nature of food is universal.

For viruses that dont change too much, for example, the measles virus（麻疹病毒） getting vaccinated is a once-and-for-all method to
27、prevent you from becoming infected with the virus. If you had two measles vaccines when you were a child, you will be protected for life.However, its a different story when it comes to influenza（流行性感冒）, commonly known as “the flu”, which generally peaks between December and February.

But one thing common to all generations is that they are suffering from stress. In a recent pol
38、l by the American Psychological Association (APA), all age groups now report higher levels of stress than in the past. Baby Boomers (those born roughly between 1946 and 1964, and who are now moving into their retirement years) said that they are stressed about earnings and health issues. Gen Xers (b
39、orn roughly between 1965 and 1980) are concerned about work, income, and job stability. However, Millennials (born roughly between 1981 and 2004) are turning out to be the most stressed-out of all the generations. Poll results indicate that stress levels for these younger respondents are significant
40、ly above average. So whats worrying the Millennials?Millennials are the first generation to grow up with computers in the home and the classroom. Due to the rise of modern technology and social media, they are constantly showered with information. Over time, this information overload can become too
41、much to handle and can result in stress, which in turn can cause serious physical, psychological, and emotional problems. Another contributing factor, according to author Michael D. Hais, is that many Millennials have lived sheltered lives due to overprotective parents. These young adults lack probl

Making matters worse, the 2008 economic depression occurred when many Millennials were graduating from high school or college. The resulting economic slowdown reduced the number of available jobs for graduates. Sure enough
43、, in the APA poll, Millennials said that work, money, relationships, family responsibilities, and the economy are the main stressors in their lives.However, the poll results may be a bit misleading as they dont take into account public attitudes toward stress and mental illness. Ronald Kessler of Ha
44、rvard Medical School, who has studied the prevalence (流行) of mental disorders in the U.S., points out that changes in social attitudes have helped reduce the stigma attached to mental illness over the years. For example, the creation of health-related television programming and specialty magazines s
45、uch as Psychology Today have contributed to greater public acceptance of mental health issues. According to psychologists, younger people now are more willing to admit to them that they are under stress than in the past. “There is not a lot of evidence of true prevalence having gone up,” Kessler say
46、s.32. It can be learned from the results of the APA poll that .A. All age groups are experiencing more stress than beforeB. Millennials have more stress than before, but other age groups arentC.
