Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners.Yet,when it comes to eating noodles,Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to a lifestyle website,slurping(出声地吃或喝) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture.It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food.It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish.Sometimes,just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression — “noodle harassment”—came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem.They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response,Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork last month.The fork looks like an electric toothbrush.It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone.When the person using the fork starts to slurp,the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone.Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary Dining traditions and table manners do vary.In India,people eat with their hands.They think they build a connection with the food in this way.However,people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce.But this eating method is part of India’s culture,just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own.
“So,if you are eating noodles,please slurp as you like,” wrote a Japanese food blogger.“If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that,ignore them.They’re missing the point entirely.”
1.Which of the following is not the reason for slurping when eating noodles
A.Showing love for the noodles.
B.Improving the flavor of the noodles.
C.Showing good manners.
D.Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
2.What does the underlined word “harassment” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Annoyance. B.Anxiety.
C.Politeness. D.Appreciation.
3.How does the noise-canceling fork work
A.The fork removes the slurping noise.
B.The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C.A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping.
D.A smartphone receives a signal from the fork and plays a sound to hide the noise.
4.Why does the author mention people in India in this passage
A.To tell us the culture of India.
B.To show that forks are unnecessary.
C.To give an example of cultural differences.
D.To show the Indian way of solving the problem.

After lab-grown meat,are you getting ready for animal-free cow’s milk A San Francisco startup believes it has found a solution.
Through a combination of yeast(酵母),cow DNA and plant nutrients,Perfect Day claims to have created a product identical in taste and nutritional value to cow’s milk,but without any cows involved.It will satisfy consumers who love eating dairy ice-cream,cheese and yoghurt,but loathe factory-style farming and its environmental footprint.
Sales of milk alternatives such as soy,coconut and more recent pea milk are expected to be on the rise.But until now they have not cut traditional milk and dairy production.“The alternatives for yoghurt,cheese and ice-cream are so bad that people don’t even want to try them,” says Perfect Day co-founder Ryan Pandya.
The missing ingredient in plant-based alternatives is cow’s milk proteins.To make the animal-free cow’s milk,Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation(发酵).These milk proteins are then combined with sugar,fats and nutrients to create the final product.
“We’re taking plant nutrients and transforming them into animal proteins the same way that cows do,using the same milk proteins as found in cow’s milk,but much more efficiently,because we’re using a yeast cell not an animal,” said Pandya.
Although comparisons have been made with lab-grown meat,Pandya said,“We are not using novel technology.Many people initially think it is like lab or test-tube milk,but that’s wrong.There are no test tubes in our fermentation process.The meat folks are trying to invent technology that doesn’t exist today,but our milk is made through techniques that have been in use for more than three decades.”
5.What does the underlined word “loathe” mean in paragraph 2
A.Ignore. B.Hate.
C.Doubt. D.Tolerate.
6.Which of the following is part of Perfect Day’s milk-making process
A.Mixing cow DNA with yeast and sugar.
B.Adding sugar and fats to plant milk.
C.Mixing plant milk with cow milk.
D.Adding cow DNA to plant milk.
7.How is Perfect Day’s milk different from pea milk
A.It costs less energy.
B.It is cheaper in price.
C.It has cow’s milk proteins.
D.It contains less sugar and fats.
8.What does Pandya think of their product
A.It tastes like test-tube milk.
B.It needs to be tested further.
C.It is well-received by green food lovers.
D.It is produced with existing technology.

Pizza:the World’s Favourite Food
Food,and the way we eat it,are always changing.As society develops,we learn new ways of growing,processing and cooking food.What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today.Also,when people travel to live in other countries,they take their knowledge of cooking with them.And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes,too.One food that has done this successfully is pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889.A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal family.He was very worried they wouldn’t like it,but they did.Queen Margherita loved the dish so much,and the baker named it after her.Since then,this simple meal of bread,cheese,and tomato has traveled the world,and it has adapted to local cultures.The pizza began its journey in the 1890s,when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life.There they continued to make pizzas,and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Italians,but by the late 1940s,Americans discovered a taste for it.Today,they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas.That’s more than $100 per American!
The pizza continued its travels around the world,adapting all the time.In Sweden,for example,it is usual to have bananas on pizzas.In Belgium,people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top.Japan is a nation of seafood lovers,so not surprisingly,they love octopus and squid,as well as roasted seaweed,toppings.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles.In today’s super-fast society,people often don’t have the time or energy to cook.So,they order take-out and very often,it’s a pizza.Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up;it’s delivered to your home.If you don’t even have time to sit down,buy a single slice and eat it standing up!
The pizza has come a long way.From its beginnings in an Italian city,it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.
9.What did the pizza first appear as
A.Homemade white bread.
B.Fast food for travelers.
C.A dish for the royal family.
D.A popular local food.
10.When did the pizza arrive in New York
A.In 1889. B.In the 1890s.
C.In 1905. D.In the 1940s.
11.In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top
A.Japan. B.Belgium.
C.Sweden. D.Australia.
12.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.How the pizza gets popular.
B.Who made the first pizza.
C.How the pizza is made.
D.Where the pizza comes from.

Cooking is one of the most pleasant and important human activities.However,preparing meals is more of a trouble now than a way to celebrate being alive. 1
Start with a plan,which you can find online.Choose whichever day of the week which works best for your schedule to buy groceries,and use that as your starting point each week.Remember,it doesn’t have to be Sunday or Monday. 2 Avoiding the two days will save you a great amount of time and gas money.
3 With this in mind,you’d better check what you have in the fridge and use those as a base to work around first to prevent them from going bad!Save your weekly grocery trips for fresh stuff like tomatoes,eggs,and other things that will go bad more quickly.
Make the most of money.Buy ingredients(原料) that can be used in many meals. 4 Plus,it’s kind of a fun puzzle to see how many ways you can use one ingredient.For example,I love Latin and Asian foods,so I keep things like rice,bell peppers,garlic,and hot sauce on hand at all times.
Cook with others.Who said you had to make all the preparations yourself Get a group of friends to each make a different dish.You’ll try something new and get meal inspirations.The goal here is to make life easier. 5
A.Use fresh ingredients first.
B.Try to avoid wasting food.
C.The traffic is too heavy on the two days.
D.Buy items you often use in great amounts.
E.This will keep your taste satisfied and your wallet happy.
F.And that can give you the freedom of mind to enjoy your food.
G.Thankfully,there are lots of small ways you can make cooking easier.
