“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure，” says Mark Singer，technical director of cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.“Cooking and eating are both pastimes (消遣) and pleasure.” The French might start their day w ith bread，butter，jam，and perhaps something hot to drink － it's a time of the day when the whole family can be united.Singer，born in Philadelphia，has lived in France for more than 40 years.

“Although things have changed greatly in the past 20 years when it comes to food in the country，”he says，“and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up，there are still events in the year，like birthdays and New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve that are still really anchored in traditional food and cooking.But it's not every day.”

Some people think French food life may be a performance，adds Jennifer Berg，director of graduate food studies at New York University.“They want to believe that France is this nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food.The reality is most croissants(羊角面包)are factory­made，and most people are buying convenience food，except for the very small group of people in high society.But part of our identity relies on believing that myth.”

In Italy，as in France，takeout is still relatively rare. “Eating fast is not at all part of our culture，” says Marco Bolasco，editorial director of Slow Food and an Ita lian food expert.“Our meals are relaxed，even during a lunch break.Food in Italy is love，and nutrition，and pleasure，”he says.An Italian child's first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs，but probably ice cream，notes Bolasco.Status and wealth play less of a role in food.

【解题导语】本文为说明文，涉及饮食话题。作者通过专家的话语来说明法国人和意大利人对于食物的不同吃法显示出不同的享受生活的态度。

【长难句解读】The French might start their day with bread，butter，jam，and perhaps something hot to drink－it's a time of the day when the whole family can be united.

分析：本句是复合句。when引导定语从句，先行词是a time of the day，when在从句中作时间状语。

译文：法国人可能用面包、黄油、果酱和或许一些热饮料开始他们的一天——这是一天中全家人都能聚集在一起的时候。

1．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，法国传统美食受到冲击，人们只是偶尔在重大节日中才去享用传统美食，并不是每一天。故选择C。

2．解析：选A。词义猜测题。由后文中的“people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food”可知，此处应是指部分人认为法国传统烹饪比较繁琐。故此处performance指“麻烦”。故选A。

3．解析：选D。推理判断题。由本段中的“In Italy，as in France”，再结合第一段中的“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure”和最后一段中的“Food in Italy is love，and nutrition，and pleasure”可知，作者比较这两种食物的目的是找出二者的共同点，阐明主旨。故选D。

4．解析：选B。主旨要义题。由文中的“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure”，“Cooking and eating are both pastimes(消遣)and pleasure”以及“Food in Italy is love，and nutrition，and pleasure”可知答案。
