［2011·宜春模拟］The dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers’ confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai.
An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3, 000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia.
Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32, 000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged.
Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far. ”
However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment.
But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.
Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops.

Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings.
His buildings are not only beautiful, but they are also practical
and useful. They fit t heir purposes very well. Wright’s churches,
for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office
buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people
feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful,
practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is
famous. There is another reason. Frank Lloyd Wright is called the
greatest American architect because he started an American style
in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Fr ank Lloyd Wright’s style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.
36. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was ________ .
A. learned from some European countries
B. not only limited to the U. S.
C. no longer popular
D. somewhat similar to the European style
37. Which of the following best describes the character of the house that Wright designed?
A. They were very large and beautiful.
B. They were very comfortable.
C. They could be used as churches.
D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.
38. What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
B. A building must have grassland around it.
C. American style in architecture should be different from European’s.
D. Design should be more important than use.
39. Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s“grassland houses”?
A. The lines of “grassland houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.
B. The lines of “grassland houses” are horizontal.
C. The color of the lines of “grassland houses” is green.
D. They are different from European style houses.
40. The best title for this passage would be ________ .
A. The Differences Between the American and European Style in Architecture
B. “Grassland Houses” Designed by Wright
