12、g well. In short, he liked having a good time.One evening he was entertaining the ruler of a small island in the Pacific. The menu included asparagus, which his guest had never eaten before.

However, when he had finished his asparagus, he too threw the piece that was left over his shoulder.Before long everybody else at the dinner was following his example, casually throwing the asparagus onto the floor, while the conversatio

17、他吃完他的芦笋后,他也从肩膀上方把剩下的那段扔了。不久之后,餐桌上的每个人都效仿国王,随意地把芦笋扔在了地板上,与此同时交谈仍以一种友好而轻松的方式进行着。在晚饭结束时地毯相当脏了。虽然清洁工们很不高兴,但最后大多数人却不得不承认国王是一个完美的东道主,他把他的客人和其他人从因为对餐桌礼仪的误解而产生的窘境中解救了出来。Food in AustraliaNot so long ago, food in Australia meant porridge with milk and sugar, and eggs and bacon for breakfast, then roast lamb o
18、r beef for lunch or dinner. During the 1980s each person consumed about 39 kilograms of meat a year, and the butcher in the local High Street was one of the most important people in town. Australia is a country where the cattle and sheep outnumber the people, and it has always been justifiably famou

But perhaps the most important piece of equipment is not in the kitchen but in the garden the famous barbecue, where, on a charcoal fire, they grill meat, such as slices of beef steak, chicken breasts or lamb cutlets. Theres usually a buffet
25、of salads and vegetables to accompany it, and pints of Australian beer to drink, because the breweries which make the beer are among the finest in the world. Altogether, with its ample amount of food and drink and its relaxed way of cooking and serving, the barbecue is not just a piece of cooking eq
26、uipment but the word the Australians use for a popular way of entertaining friends.澳大利亚的食物不久之前,澳大利亚的食物早餐是加有牛奶和糖的粥、鸡蛋和培根肉,午餐或晚餐则吃烤羊肉或牛肉。20世纪80年代每人每年要消耗掉39公斤的肉。当地商业大街上的屠夫是镇上最重要的人之一。澳大利亚是一个牛羊的数量比人多的国家,它无可非议地以它的羔羊肉而著名(甚至没有人想过吃“羊肉”就是比较老的羊身上的肉)。结果是很多人都超重。现在仍有很多澳大利亚人吃大量的肉。但最近,我们看到了一种渐渐朝更健康的饮食转变的趋势。现代澳大利亚烹调
27、法通常指的是多元的烹饪,食谱包括来自东西方的食材和烹饪风格。现今,澳大利亚人喜欢含有豆腐、海带和生鱼片的日本食物,还有希腊、意大利和黎巴嫩的食物,如意大利面食、橄榄、西红柿、茄子和柠檬。广东菜和北京风格的食物也很受欢迎,尤其是中式点心。法国烹饪也能在澳大利亚人喜爱的法式面包房里看见,有美味的蛋糕和长条的面包。在多元的烹饪法中没多少或根本就没有人工合成的食材,只有最纯最新鲜的产品。甚至在郊区也有东方人的杂货店,在那里顾客能买到一切:中国的炒锅(一种锅)、辣椒粉、产自巴西的做饮料和蛋糕用的可可粉、美国产的巧克力棒小甜饼、可以涂抹在早餐煎饼上的加拿大枫树糖浆或者法国蜂蜜,印度的萨莫萨三角饺和芳香的做
28、泰国菜用的柠檬草,奶制品如酸奶和奶油以及大量的家产的水果,尤其是成熟了的桃子、葡萄、瓜和橘子。大多数澳大利亚人家里都有一个火炉,你可以在上面煎或蒸蔬菜,通常也有一个微波炉,用来迅速重新加热食物。但是最重要的设备可能不是在厨房里而是在花园里(那就是)著名的烧烤野餐,在木炭火上他们可以烤肉,如:一片片牛排、鸡胸脯或羊排。通常有一餐车的沙拉和蔬菜伴着吃,喝成品脱的澳大利亚啤酒,因为酿造这种啤酒的酿酒厂是世界上最好的酿酒厂之一。总而言之,野外烧烤有着丰富的食物和饮料,轻松烹饪和上菜的方式,它不仅仅是一个做饭设备,也是一个指澳大利亚人用来款待朋友们的流行方式的单词。The Willow Pattern
29、PlateOne of the bestknown designs on British plates is the “Willow Pattern”. In many homes, the willow pattern plates (named after the willow tree in the centre of the design) are kept for special occasions, when important guests come to dinner. But where does the willow pattern come from?The first
30、plates were made in about 1780, and were based on Chinese designs. They were copied from similar plates taken to Britain in ships which were also carrying tea. But Josiah Spode, who produced the most famous plates, mixed elements from different Chinese designs. He included a bridge with three people
31、 crossing it, the willow tree which gives its name to the plate, a boat, a teahouse, a fence in the foreground, and two songbirds which are flying overhead. No original Chinese design had all these elements together.The scene pictured on the plate is the story of Kun Xi, the daughter of a rich Manda
32、rin, who fell in love with her fathers gardener, a young man called Chang. When the Mandarin discovered Chang and Kun Xi were in love, he was very angry.

35、桥的行人、使盘子得名的柳树、一条小船、一座茶楼,前景部分是一道篱笆和两只在上空盘旋的鸣鸟。任何一个中国的原始设计都没有完全包含这些元素。盘子上绘制的场景是关于坤喜的故事,她是一位达官贵人的千金,爱上了给她家当园丁的一个叫阿常的小伙子。当那位官员发现阿常和坤喜相爱时,他非常生气。他把坤喜锁在房里并且修筑了一道篱笆墙,这样阿常就无法靠近她了。但一天晚上,当那位官员举行宴会款待客人的时候,阿常扮作一位随从混了进来。两个恋人私奔到了一座小岛上。当官员知道发生了什么事情后,非常生气。他和几个随从尾随坤喜和阿常来到小岛后,在他们睡觉的时候,放火烧了他们的茅舍。两个恋人被火烧死了,但是他们的灵魂化为了鸣鸟,

But the experiment was part of a bigger project that was so systematic and strictly controlled that the findings likely apply to other crops, too.“Giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive components is doubtful and not supported by scientific evidence,” Knuth
79、sen said. “Still, there are many good reasons for the consumer to select organic food products, including absence of pesticide residues (农药残留) in foods, animal welfare, and environmental protections.”Argument over whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties has been around
80、 for at least a decade, said Jeffrey Blumberg, director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University in Boston. “Some studies have suggested that organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidants. Possibly because some antioxidants act as natural fungicides (杀真菌
81、剂), pesticides and insecticides,” he said. “The idea is that, without help from industrial chemicals, plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselves. They end up becoming more nutritious as a result.” But plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship.“I understand that o

88、,关于有机食品是否比普通食品更有营养的争论已经持续了至少十年了,但现在的研究仍然无法证明这一点。其他三个选项只是其中部分内容。4. Which is NOT the reason for you to buy organic products according to Blumberg?A. There are higher amounts of healthful antioxidants in them.B. Theyre safer for the planet to grow things organically.C. Pesticides are bad for you or you
