公共英语等级考试三级(PETS3)学习笔记(三)Unit 6 Eating and DrinkingDialogues /monologues:1、I’m in a hurry.我得赶紧。
“in a hurry”指匆忙,有时用作口语也表示轻易地做好某件事情。
2、These days the most sought-after tables are hidden away, several floors above ground, in the city’s high-rise apartments, which are run by chefs out of their own homes or from rented spaces..这句话的意思我翻译为:目前,很多广受欢迎的餐馆总是藏匿在公寓大厦地面上方的楼层,就在厨师们自家门口或是租的空地外面营业。
3、Merely requesting a reservation can be as difficult as getting one.哪怕是仅仅要求预定(房间)都有可能象真要得到它一样那么难。
4、Exclusively is the main attraction for customers in a city that is still obsessed with status.独有性(专用权)是吸引城市消费者的主要因素,因为人们还是会被身份地位(带来的虚荣感)所迷惑的。
5、I can’t make up my mind about what to have for dessert.make up one’s mind:下决心、作决定。
本句的意思是:餐后吃什么甜点,我还没能做出决定。
Passage:The ladies were puzzled. Cheryl Spangler, Valeria Borunda Jameson and Susan Puckett, three university-admissions workers on a training visit to Florence, Kentucky, had walked into a local barbecue joint called Chung Kiwha. But instead of sauce-covered mutton served up from the kitchen, they saw a buffet of uncooked meats and vegetables. Instead of knives and forks, they were given large scissors, chopsticks and metal tongs. No candle flickered at their table, but a bucket of fiery wood charcoal hissed in the tabletop grill pit. Chung Kiwha served barbecue, all right—cook-it-your-self Korean barbecue. “I didn’t realize there were restaurants like this,” marveled Spangler to her friends, who hail from Knoxville, Tennessee, and I worked in restaurants for 20 years.The secret is out, thanks to the growing popularity of restaurants where the customer is the chef. Long a staple of immigrant communities in big cities, restaurants where diners chop, grill, boil, or dip their dip their food are hot in the American heartland. St.Paul, Minnesota, has Thai hot-pot cooking. Indianapolis, Indiana, has Japanese shabu-shabu (another type of hot pot). A pizzeria in Las Vegas lets customers roll the dough.Why would people bother going out to cook their own meal? “Americans want control,” says Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of research for the National Restaurant Association. “The cook-it-your-self experience embodies the American values of freedom of choice and independence.” With families spending 46% of their food budget on meals outside the home, they miss the cooking experience—sort of. “Psychologically, people want to be a little involved,” says Pamela Parseghian, executive food editor at Nation’s Restaurant News.Not every diner, however, embraces the experience. Dragged in by enthusiastic wives, “men often sit with their arms crossed…that is, until we fill them up with good wine,”says Will Layfield, owner of the Melting Pot in Westwood, New Jersey. At the Vinok let, diner Grey Schafer says, “I don’t cook at home, and if I’m going to pay good money, I want someone to do the cooking for me.” What’s more, do-it-your-self dining isn’t cheap. At the Minturn Country Club in Minturn, Colorado, Kobe beef costs $49.95—uncooked. Still, restaurant-owners insist that the customer knows best. “Who knows what to them is rare?” says Mikulic, owner of Vinoklet. “This way, if they screw it up, I get no complaints.” Back at Chung Kiwha in Florence, diner Puckett sees it this way: “We don’t have to clean up, do we?.”参考译文:这些女士有些迷惑不解。

"A number of" 换成"a lot of" 或者是”a great many”行不行,为什么? ==>可以换成a lot of或a great many of,因为position是可数名词。

He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen.He went to Philadelphia then and bought his own newspaper.He worked hard and by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men there.In 1732 Franklin published a book"Poor Richard's Almanac."Most almanacs contained information for farmers,such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather.To his almanac,Franklin added wise sayings of observations about life;some of these sayings are still famous today.For example,"Early to bed,early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise,"and "Waste not,want not,"and" A penny saved is a penny earned."Unit1-5Title: Ambulance GirlWhen I became a volunteer EMT,my friends were puzzled.They knew me to be deeply terrified of sick and dying people.If there was an accident on the road,I tucked my head in my hands to avoid seeing blood or broken glass.My husband and I had been married 30 years. We loved to travel,read and write.But at age 52,I felt stuck in a midlife funk,cut off from others. Passing the local firehouse one day,I saw a sign:"Volunteers wanted:Fire/EMT."The EMT part pointed to everything cowardly in me-my fear of death and disease.Maybe I could help others if I did this and could also save myself by facing what scared me most. As time goes by,I was able to work through my fears. Now I understand that the closest I have ever felt to God is in the back of an ambulance.When I rush out to help sick strangers,I am part of something larger than myself.Sometimes I truly connect with someone who I would never have met otherwise-as I did with Nellie. One midnight,the AIDS hospice needed help.A colleague and I were shown to a bedroom.Lying there was a thin black woman with wild hair.When I was given aprintout of her medical history,I thought,this lady should be dead over ten times. She hadAIDS,he patitis and TB.She had had brain surgery.Tonight she had a seizure."Hello,I'm Clarissa,are you in pain?" I asked.She replied by cursing at me. I didn't take offense. When I rode alone with her in the back of the ambulance as another EMT drove,I reread the printout.Nellie was 33 years old.No previous address.No family members. No next of kin.Her whole life as presented here was just a list of medicines,symptoms and illnesses.One line caught my attention:Hobbies.Nellie's hobbies were sewing and gospel singing. I could not sew,but I loved gospel music. "Nellie,it says here that you like gospel music,"I asked. I expected another curse,but it didn't come."I really like Shirley Caesar," I continued,thinking of the singer's heartbreaking song about a mother's love for her ungratefulson,pouring her soul into every word. Suddenly Nellie's eyes moved back and forth."I like her too," Nellie said weakly. I was stunned she could speak. I started naming other gospel singers. With each one,Nellie nodded back,and I saw her try to smile. I was not a singer,but I decided to pretend that I was.It was not unthinkable that Nellie might die during this ride to the hospital,that I would be the last face she ever saw, the last voice she ever heard. I wanted to say something meaningful toher,something other than"Where does it hurt?" So I started singing,and I held Nellies hand as I sang. We reached the hospital,and she was wheeled to one of the ER rooms. I touched her thin shoulder."Nellie," I said.She fixed her eyes on me. "Take care of yourself." She gave me one long last look,and then turned her face to the wall. When I climbed back into the ambulance,there was no more trace of Nellie.The driver had cleaned and sanitized everything."Lets go,"I told him.As the ambulance pulled out,I felt like crying.But my eyes remained dry,like Nellie's.Hobbies:sewing and gospel music,I thought as we glided in the darkness of the night toward home.。

He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door behind him,showing that he was careful.He gave his seat immediately to that old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful.He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions promptly, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.""All the rest stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor. He picked it up and placed it on the table ,and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.When I talked to him ,I noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair and his clean finger nails. Can't you see that these things are excellent recommendations? I consider them more significant than letters."Questions 7-10The year was 1912.Mrs. Straus and her husband were passengers on the Titanic during its fateful voyage. Not many women went down with the ship,but Mrs.Straus was one of the few women who did not survive for one simple reason:She could not bear to leaveher husband .This is how Mabel Bird,Mrs.Straus's servant , who survived the disaster, told the story after she was saved."When the Titanic began to sink, frightened women and children were the first ones loaded into lifeboats.Mr.and Mrs.Straus were calmand comforting other passengers,and helped many of them into the boats.Then, Mr.Straus begged his wife to get into the life boat with her servant an others.

I don't want to get sick.2.W:I think a drought has set in. It hasn't rained a drop for months.M:I think so,too, but didn't it rain last month?W:It did, but the rainfall was only half the monthly average.M:Oh. It's really bad. I'm really concerned though not panicked yet.3.M:Oh,my!I've never seen such scorching heat in my life!The TV forecast said the temperature has hit 98!W:Yeah. It's like the whole world is broiling. I hope it's not going to break into three digits!M:But it's already awfully close!W:Well,I just hope it'll level off soon.Part BQuestions 4-6W:Did you hear that? The drought conditions are severe! There's a lot of death, dying, and suffering out there!M: I heard that, but it's not surprising actually because we haven't had as much rain as normal this year.W:Well, if it could rain even a drop, things would be much better!And my flowers in the garden would come back in a heartbeat.M:I guess you might have to quit watering your garden.I heard that they are going to start rationing water. In fact , this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years.W:Really!I thought that might happen. Great!There go my vegetables.M:I guess so. But think aboutAfrica.Questions 7-10Have you heard enough about rain yet? Once again, torrential downpours seem to be dominating the weather stories of the day, and here in the U.K. is no exception!First of all,let's have a quick sum-up of the storm situation.Bonnie and Charley are still dominating the scene in central America,Bonnie, a tropical storm, is moving through the Gulf of Mexico towards Florida, and hurricane are gusting to 105mph at the time when this forecasting was prepared.But even with these tropical systems aside, there's plenty of wet weather elsewhere too. Turkey has had a downpour of thunderstorms during the last day or so, with 64mm of rain being recorded in Golcuk in just 16 hours. This is more than double the amount usually seen here during the whole month of August.Northwest Spain hasn't escaped, and neither have many areas of France. In fact, many western European countries had a few inches of rain from the weather fronts that are now plaguing the U.K.The main fronral band of rain moved its way northwards through England and Wales last night, giving over 46mm of rain in south Wales by morning. Although it then headed intoNorthern Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland, there have also been plenty of big showers developing behind it. Torrential downpours prompted the Met Office to issue Flash Warnings of Severe Weather due to the intensity of some of these showers.(注:可编辑下载,若有不当之处,请指正,谢谢!)。

You're such a smart boy.It is predicted to snow.Really?That's great!If so,we can buy a roll of film to take photos, and invite our friends Amy,Martin and Sally to play with snowballs. And we can also heap up a snowman standing on our playground! So it is not bad but good news.May your dream come true.Wang Lin is talking with Alice about the recent weather.How are you doing these days?Fine,and you?Me too.It's so hot and muggy today.Yes.The weather has been dry for days.It's reported that the temperature today rises to about 40C.Oh,I see.The heat makes my flowers fade,my little dog"Gege"is lying on the ground with its tongue strectching long.God damn!Could you remember the flood last month?Sure.It was raining cats and dogs.Luckily I was staying at home that day.A terrible flood.Some people lost their lives.Poor poeple!The flood is dangerous,and our government ha asked people to be mindful of heat,extreme heat may also cause death.Take it easy.The fall is coming and the heat will be finally over.I hope so.Yang Ming asks his teacher,Mr.Zhang,some questions about the climate.Good morning,Mr.Zhang.Good morning,any questions?Yes,could you tell me the difference of climate between Beijing and Kunming?Of course.Beijing is situated in the North and Kunming in the Southwest.Is the climate related to the latitude?Yes,Beijing is in the high latitudes while Kunming in the low latitudes.Does the latitude influence the temperature?Certainly,it's colder in Beijing than in Kunming as a whole.The weather in Beijing is very bad.How?Can you explain it in detail?It's cloudy and windy.Through the whole year,the wind blows very hard.The dirt spreading in the air can make people dirty.It can even get through the window and fall on your furniture.But the strong wind offers a good chance to fly kites.What about Kunming?It's warm and sunny.The weather si agreeable,comfortable and humid.The range of temperature is unnoticeable.In short,that means it's like spring all the year round.You're right.Thank you very much.Aaron is calling his girlfriend,Helen.Darling,what are you busy with now?I am missing you very much. Next week,I have a 3-day vacation.Let's make a trip.Great!Where do you like to go?The South or the North?The temperature in the North is below zero.The worst is that it has sonowed there for days.But I enjoy the cold weather.It must be refreshing after a hot and muggy summer we spent.It was terribly hot indeed.If we go southward,it's unnecessary to travel with more clothes,the weather is fairly agreeable!Cold as it is in the North,we can seize the opportunity to ski.Skiing is so exciting and challenging!Ok,this time,I'll follow you.Next time,let's go travelling in the South for surfing.passage Our Changing AtmosphereAccording to the National Academy of Sciences,the Earth's surface temperature has risenby about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century,with accelerated warming during the past two decades.There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warmingover the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.Human activities have altered the chemical composition of the atmospherethrough the buildup of greenhouse gases-primarily carbon dioxide,methane,and nitrous oxide.Energy from the sun drives the earth's weather and climate,and heats the earth's surface;in turn,the earth radiates energy back into space.Atmospheric greenhouse gases(water vapor,carbon dioxide,and other gases)trap some of the outgoing energy,retaining heat somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse. Without this natural"greenhouse effect",temperatures would be much lower than they are now,and life as known today would not be possible.Thanks to greenhouse gases,the earth's average temperature is a more hospitable 60F. However,problems may arisewhen the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases increases.Scientists generally believethat the combustion of fossil fuels and other human activitiesare the primary reason for the increased concentration of carbon dioxide.What has changed in the last few hundred yearsis the additional release of carbon dioxide by human activities.Fossil fuels burned to run cars and trucks,heat homes and businesses,and power factories are responsible for about 98% of US carbon diozide emissions,24% fo methane emissions,and 18% of nitrous oxide emissions. Increased agriculture,deforestation,landfills,industrial production, and mining also contribute a significant share of emissions.In 1997,the United States emitted about one-fifth of total global greenhouse gases.The 20th century's 10 warmest yearsall occurred in the last 15 years of the century.Of these,1998 was the warmest year on record.The snow covers in the Northern Hemisphereand floating ice in the Arctic Ocean have decreased.Globally,sea level has risen 4-8 inches over the past century. Worldwide precipitation over land has increased by about one percent.The frequency of extreme rainfall eventshas increased throughout much of the United States.Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasesare likely to accelerate the rate of climate change.Scientists expect that the average global sirface temperaturecould rise 1-4F(0.6-2.5C)in the next fifty years,and 2.2-10F(1.4-5.8C)in the nxt century,with significant refional variation.Evaporation will increase as the climate warms,which will increase average global precipitation.Soil moisture is likely to decline in many regions,and intense rainstorms are likely to become more frequent.Sea level is likely to ris two feet along most of the US coasts. Calculations of climate change for specificareas much less reliable than global ones,and it is unclear whether regional climate will become more variable.Words and Expressionsatmosphere Fahrenheit accelerated warmingn.大气,空气 n.华氏温度 adj.加速的 n.升温decade evidence attributable activityn.十年 n.证据,论据 adj.可归于..的 n.活动;行动alter chemical buildup greenhousev.改变 n.化学制品 n.组合,集合 n.温室gas carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxiden.气体二氧化碳 n.甲烷,沼气 vt.一氧化二氮radiate atmospheric vapor trapvt.放射,辐射 adj.大气的,大气层的 n.水汽,水蒸气 vt.捕获,捕捉outgoing retain panel averageadj.外出的,离开的 vt.保持,保留 n.面板 adj.平均的hospitable arise concentration combustionadj.好客的,殷勤的 vi.出现,发生 n.集中,集合 n.燃烧fossil fuels primary additional release矿物燃料 adj.第一位,主要的 adj.另外的,附加的 n.释放truck responsible emission deforestationn.卡车,敞篷货车 adj.有责任 n.散发 n.采伐森林landfill minimg contribute emitn.垃圾掩埋法 n.采矿,矿业 v.贡献 vt.发出,发射global floating decrease precipitationadj.全球的 adj.漂浮的,浮动的 v.减少 n.降(雨)量frequency extreme rainfall increasingn.频率,发生次数 adj.极端的,极度的 n.降雨,降雨量 adj.日益增加的regional variation evaporation moistureadj.地方的,地域性的 n.变化 vi.蒸发(作用) n.潮湿,湿气decline intense rainstorm calculationvi.下降 adj.强烈的,特定的 adj.暴风雨 n.计算,考虑specific reliable unclear variableadj.特殊的,特定的 adj.可靠的,可信赖的 adj.不清楚的 adj.可变的,不定的ExercisesSection I Listening ComprehensionListen to the record.Answer each question by choosing A,B,C or D from the four possible choices.1.Oh,my God,I have difficulty in breathing,how do th Africans here stand such heat?Maybe they are used to it.2.It has been snowing heavily for one week.So you will know why the vegetables are so expensive.3.Mary has gone to the theatre in spite of my suggestion.Why not send her umbrella now?Look up ward,the dark clouds!4.It's a holiday now.Where would you like to go,the North or the South?I prefer the South to the North.It's more agreeable-sunny and warm.5.The temperature today is 20C.That means it is 2C higher than that of yesterday,1C lower than that of the da before yesterday.BDo you want to know something about the history of weather?Don't look at the sky.Dont's look for the old weather report. Looking ar tree rings is more important.Correct weather reports date back to only one century,but some trees cn provide an exact record of the weather even further back.It's natural that a tree would grow bestin a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall.It is also expected that little sunlightor rainfall would limit the growth of a tree.The changes from a favorable to an unfavorable climatecan be determined by reading the pattern of ring in a tree trunk.To find out the weather of ten years ago,count the rings of a tree trunk form the outside to the inside.If the tenth ring is far from the other rings,then it si certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred.If the rings are close together,then the climate was bad for the tree. Studying tree rings is not only important for the history of the weather,but also for the history of man.In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand-no trees and no people.However,many centuries ago a large population lived there.They left suddenly,why?A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grownthere.He decided the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees.Trees were necessary to make filrs and buildings.So,after the people destroyed the trees,they had to move. Supplementary Reading Extreme WeatherExtreme weather will become more common,experts forecast. NEW YORK It has been a summer of extremes.Rains have deluged Europe and Asia,swamping cities and villages and killing abot 2 000 people.while drought and heat have seared the American Western and Eastern cites.What is going on?The floods and droughts could simply be flickersin the inherently chaotic weather system,some experts say.But many warn that such extremeswill be increasingly common as the world grows warmer.Such a shift could pose big problems in places where water is alreadya strained resource,they say.A warmer world is more likely to be a wetter one,experts warn,with more evaporation resulting in more rains,in more heavy and destructive downpours.But in a troublesome twist,that world may also include more intense droughts,as the increased evaporation parches soils between occasional storms."In a hotter climate,your chances of being caught with either too muchor too little rains are higher,"said John Wallace,a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University fo Washington.And the globe is getting warmer.The last several decades of global temperature readingscurve up on graphs like the end of a hockey stick.Climate specialists concluded for the first time last yearthat humans were causing most of the warming trend by burning coal and oil,which release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases.The main way that warming is likely to manifest itself,scientists say, is through changes in the balance of water as liquid,vapor and ice. "There si growing evidence now that shifts in the golbal water cycle are likely to cause potentially catastrophic effectsin several parta of the world,"said Rajendra Pachauri,an Indian engineer who si the new chairmanof the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.Still,a scientific debate persists.Some speciallists say the earth has built-in buffering mechanisms that can limit extremes.But manyy other say that past records,current trends and computer models all point to big changes ahead. One new study this summer found evidence that Asian monsoon,as a part of falter in arid,subtropical areas intensified.Generally,agriculture is expected to falter in arid,subtropical areas like the eastern Mediterranean and southern Africa,while flourishing in northern climes,like the North American wheat belt,as more precipitation and longer growing seasons boost yields.But climate specialists say that even there rainis more likely to fall as field-scouring torrents.Long-term planners in the western United States are trying to adjust. Next year,California will for the first time incorporateclimate changes into its five-year water-management plan."Water supplies there are already squeezed by growingpopulations,"said Jonas Minton,the deputy director of the California Department of Water Resources.A warming climate is intensifying the problem,he siad."Over the last 50 years,"he siad,"winter precipitation in the Sierra Nevada mountain regionhas been falling more and more in the form of rain,increasing flood risks,instead of as snow,which supplies farmers and faucets alike as it melts in the spring."PETS三级教材标准教程Unit05CHAPTER 5 FOOD AND DRINKUnit 5 Food and DrinkConversationsMick and his landlady are talking what they like at a meal.You'll be having meals with us.Is there any type of food that you don't like or that I can't cook for you?Erm,not really.The only thing is:I'm not very keen of fish.Not very keen on fish? No.Oh,well,that's not too much of a problem.Erm,something else.Oh.Idon't like tea,I never drink tea.Erm,something else.Oh.I don't like tea,I never drink tea.Oh,you never drink tea?I usually have coffee.oh,we usually have tea all the time.Oh dear!Erm,I'll mak you some coffee.Daisy and Lily are going to a snack bar.We'd better get something to eat,please.Let's go to snack bar,I hope you'll like it.Well,I've never been to one before,so you'll have to show me how to get round there.Ok,you see,it's a kink of help-yourslef serivce.You just line up and tell them what you want,and they'll give it to you.Come along.I guess we'll ahve to join the line there.Yes.You go and follow the line and I'm going to pick up the trays, knives and forks.Tom and Alice are continuing their conversation while having their meal.Have some of the sweet and sour fish,please.It's appetizing and tasty.Will you have another cup of coke?No,thank you.I'm afraid it's a bit too much for me.How about having a glass of white wine to go with the fish?That's a good idea.This dish is really wonderful.What about some fruit?Help yourself to an apple,please.It's very juicy.I must say we've had a splendid meal.Mary is talking with her neighbour Sue about how to make fruit salad.Good morning,Mary,could you tell me how to make a fruit salad? Of course,it's my pleasure.Well,first of all,you select the fruit that you want,and then you wash it very carefully.Erm,then go about peeling it.Start off with,say,the apples,peeling them,washing them thoroughly,chopping them up into shapes.Peeling the ba...bananas,chopping them up,putting a little bit of lemon juice so that they don't go brown.Erm,taking the grapes,washing them,cutting them up.Erm,pears,you could do the same thing for them.Putting them all together,sprinking them Liberally with sugar,er,a little bit more lemon juice,putting them into a bowl,and there you have a fruit salad.I see.Thank you very much.I'll have a try.Passage Enjoy Eating at"Melting Pot""You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating babits.What we put in our mouth does become a part of us.But we can look at this statement another way.What we eat reflects who we are-as people and as a culture.Do you want to understand another culture?Then you ought to find out about its food.As a foreign traveler can prove,the relation between food and national identity is close and strong. Not only do citizents of most nations come to perceivesome aspect of their cuisine as distinctive,but nations themselves are typically associated with particular food. Countries are what they eat,or at the very least,people tend to think of nations is culinary terms.Thus,learning about American food can give us a real taste of American cultrue.What is "American food?At first you might think the answer is easy as pie.To many people,American food means hamburgers,hot dogs,fried chicken and pizza.If you have a "sweet tooth",you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies.It's true that American do eat those things.But are those the only thing you can find in America?Except for thanksgiving turkey,it's hard to find typically"American"food.The United States is a land of immigrants.So Americans eat food from many different countries.When people move to America,they bring their cooking styles with them.That's why you can find almost every kink of ethnic food in America. In some cases,Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites.Americans love Italian pizze,Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesn't taste quite like the original.As with any large country,the US has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food.Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking.Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine.Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes.Travel through the Midwest,"the bread-basket of the nation",for delicious baked foods.Cruise over tot he Southwest and try some tasty TexMex treats. Finish your food four in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.Americans living at a fast pace often just"grab a quick bite".Fast food restaurants offer people on the runeverything from fried chicken to fried rice.Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking a home a snap. Of course,one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich.If it can fit between two slices of breadm,Americans probably make a sandwich out of it.Peanut butter and jelly are all-time American favorites.Aericans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food".Potao chips,candy bar,soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats.Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks.But others opt for more healthy eating habits.Some even go"all natural".They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives. American culturre is a good illustration of the saying"You are whatyou eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking.The variety of foods enjoyed in the US reflects the diversity of personal tastes.The food may be international or regional.Sometimes it's fast,and sometimes it's not so fast.It might be junk food,or maybe it's natural food.In any case,the style is all-American.Words and Expressionsnutrition expert promote statement营养;营养品专家,行家促进;发扬声明;陈述identity perceive aspect cuisine物性感到,认识到方面烹饪,烹调风格distinctive typically tend culinary与从不同的,有物色的代表性地,作为物色的趋向,往往是厨房的,烹调用的hamburger pizza thanksgiving turkey牛肉饼;汉堡包比萨饼感恩节火鸡immigrant cooking style ethnic移民,侨民烹饪风格,时尚民族的adopt version distinct sample采用译文,译本截然不同的,独特的尝试savory seafood gourmet grab风味极佳的,可口的海产食品,海味美食家,美酒抓住on the run microwave snap slice匆匆忙忙微波容易方便的事薄片,切片peanut jelly all-time treat花生果子冻,一和果冻甜品空前的,创纪录的使人愉快的事unhealthy snack additive illustration不健康的小吃,快餐添加剂说明;例证saying represent range background谚语表现;描绘范围背景reflect diversity反射,反映差异,多样性Exercises Section I Listening ComprehensionListen to the record.Answer each question by choosing A,B,C or D from the four possible choices.A1.Good evening,what would you like,coffee,tea or the mineral water?

Among the first Europeans to see the plant the Indians called"papa" were Francisco Pizarro and his soldiers.When they invaded Peru in the 1530s,they were unaware of the buried treasure beneath their feet.They rode roughly over the papa in hot pursuit of the Inca Emperor, Atahualpa,and his gold.Introduced into Eurpo over the next years,the potato began four centuries of world conquest.The Inca Empire has vanished.Spain's glory is only a memory.The potato still survives.Compared to the vast benefits this unusual plant has given to man,all the gold of Peru becomes worthless.Today,the potato is produced in 130 of the world's 167 independent countries.One year's crop,at consumer prices,is worth 106 billion dollars, more than the value of all the gold and silverthe Spanish ever took out of the New World.The average annual crop(29 million tons)could cover a four-lane superhighway circling the world six times. The potato si so nutritious that a man in Scandinavialived healthly for 300 days on only spuds covered with a bit of margarine.It takes seven pounds of potatoes to tatal 2500 calories,the approximate adult daily requirement;so eating a spud without cream or butteris no more fattening than eating a pear-the potato itself is 99.9 percent fat free.An acre of potatoes yields almost as much food as two acres of grain,and when the water that composes about 80 percent of potatoes is squeezed out,they provide annually more dry foodthan the combined world wide consumption of fish and meat.without potatoes,meat production would fall and meat prices rise; nearly half the world's crop is fed to animals.What has made the potato a king among vegetables? Fruitfulness,strength,nutritiousness and,above all,its many uses, which is why in India a man who can do anything is called"alu"-potato.Nutritionists rate the quality of potato protein higher than of the soybean,and a single spud can supply half the daily Vitamin C requirement of an adult,a fact sea captains early guessedat when they carried potatoes to prevent disease among their crews.If captain and crew had been cast away on an island with a sack of potatoes,they could have grown a ton of food within a year and survived. With milk they could have held out indefinitely.A potato crop is as well suited to home gardeningas it is large-scale commercial production.It may also become a useful source of energy in the decades to come,we may be burning potato gasohol in our cars.When Henry Ford first got into the automobile business,he predicted the world would soon run out of cheap petroleum. To make alochol,he ordered potatoes from Europethat were grown for industrial purposes,but the project was apparently disastrous.The way things are going,it looks like Ford did have a better idea. Researchers have shown that one acre of potatoes can yied1 200 gallons of pure alochol in a year.。
