It is surprising that eating three meals a day-breakfast, lunch and dinner-has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, people only had two meals a day-breakfast and dinner.
In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast(随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal.
Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a.m. Years later, it had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap between breakfast and dinner.

【推荐2】As a chef who has worked across Southeast Asia, Goh Wooi Cheat moved to the Chinese mainland to tap into his roots and offer local diners his own unique version of Cantonese cuisine.
Cantonese cuisine from Singapore used to be famous across Asia for its high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation, but after working in Beijing for several years, Singaporean chef Goh Wooi Cheat firmly believes that “the future of Cantonese cuisine lies in China”.
“All the finest ingredients from around the world can be now found in China and the chefs’ presentation skills are improving fast,” the 56-year-old chef says.
Goh’s ancestors moved to Malaysia from Guangdong Province, so he has been familiar with Cantonese cuisine since childhood. Growing up in Penang, Goh remembers always hearing about cuisines, portions, ingredients and seasoning at home, because his family ran a catering business. He moved to Singapore and became an apprentice Cantonese chef in 1983, becoming an executive chef 10 years later. He also worked in five-star hotels in Indonesia for a couple of years, where Cantonese wedding banquets were an important element.
In 2011, Goh received a job offer from Beijing, which he promptly accepted. “I felt proud of returning to China, the land where my ancestors come from — especially since I believe that real Chinese cuisine should be served to Chinese people,” Goh says.
But Goh also thinks that some classic Cantonese dishes are outdated, prompting him to create new dishes that still manage to honor tradition while appealing to contemporary diners. To add one new dish to the menu, Gob would refine it over time repeatedly, gathering feedback from his customers to continue enhancing the dish to reach a level of perfection both in terms of taste and presentation.
“A dish can be described as delicious only if it’s accepted and enjoyed by every guest — and not just by food experts,” he says. Goh also believes that chefs must develop their own cooking style, especially in Cantonese cuisine; otherwise the chefs who always follow tradition may find themselves left behind.
1. What can we learn about Goh from the passage?| A．His ancestors were native Malaysians. |
| B．His family once ran a restaurant business. |

【推荐3】Table manners are very different in every country. For example, when you are in Britain you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite. But when you are in Japan this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of drinking your soup. And also in Japan you don’t have to worry about making a noise when you drink it. It just shows that you really like the food! But it is not the same in Britain, so you shouldn’t make a noise when eating there.
In Britain, people don’t put their hands or arms on the table during the meal. But in Mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. In fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. In Arab countries, it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it!
In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating.
In Ukraine you should not start eating first; you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. You also have to say “please” and “thank you” every time you ask for and get something. If you don’t like some food, don’t make faces and don’t say: “Yuk! I hate that!”
The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.

【推荐1】The English language is the result of the invasion of the island of Britain over many hundreds of first invasions were by a people called Angles about 1,500 years ago. The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes. Through many years, the Saxons, Angles and the Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or old English.
The next great invasion of Britain was done by Vikings about 1,100 years ago. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.
The next invasion of Britain took place more than 900 years ago, in 1066. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest. The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. It was the language of educated people. But the common people of Britain still spoke old English.
Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include “damage”, “prison”, and “marriage”. The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken 800 years ago. English became what language experts call Middle English. Middle English sounds like Modern English. But it is difficult to understand now. The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English, which is spoken today.

【推荐2】While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.
Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2012, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2018 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2017, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.

【推荐3】The European Union(EU) is an organization of European countries. The countries are independent and are governed in different ways. In the United Kingdom ,for example, the head of state is a king or queen. In France, on the other hand, the head of state is a president. But each of them sends representatives to European Parliament, which has some control over what happens in each of the member countries.
The idea of the EU began in the 1950s. The first members were France, Germany, Belgium,Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Italy. Little by little, the number increased during second half of the twentieth century. By the year 2000,there were 15 member countries. The new countries were Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
In 2004,the EU increased to 25 members. The Czech Republic ,Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia, plus the Mediterranean islands of Cyprus and Malta all became members.

【推荐1】Eating healthier may be as simple as not going to the grocery store, one study revealed. Participants who ordered their groceries online spent less money on junk food compared to when they shopped in person, according to the study. Researchers tracked the spending patterns of 137 shoppers over the course of 44 weeks. People who shopped online spent on average about $2.50 less on unhealthy food purchases like candy and frozen desserts compared to when they did their shopping inside stores, said study author Laura Zatz.
The study did not examine why shoppers spent less money on unhealthy food when they shopped online, there are some likely reasons, such as a reduction in opportunities for impulse (冲动) purchases. “Online shopping allows shoppers to keep away from lots of in-store marketing and attractive food stimuli (刺激), which encourages us to add items to our basket that we didn’t plan to purchase,” Zatz said. “Those towers of junk food at the end of grocery store aisles don’t exist online.” Besides, many people have presaved grocery lists, or their food options are based on their dietary needs, she added. Who we shop with may also play a role in our purchase, said Stephanie Rogus, professor of human nutrition at New Mexico State University. When shopping in person, adults often bring along their children or other family members, who may ask for unhealthy food.
Online grocery shopping is still relatively new, and Zatz said that marketing will evolve and influence shoppers to purchase unhealthy food online. Grocery stores may begin to advertise foods that aren’t selling as well in the form of pop-up ads or personalized recommendations to overcome reduced spending on certain items. If unhealthy foods are underselling, shoppers might start seeing ads for them.
Shoppers spent 44% more per transaction (交易) and purchased more items online versus in stores, researchers also found. Transaction fees could have influenced this trend, Rogus said. Many online grocery services have a transaction fee, so combining shopping trips to have fewer transactions could have saved the participants some money. At some stores, spending a certain amount could mean the fee is free. Most of the shoppers in this study were higher-income and could potentially afford to spend more money to avoid transaction fees or hit a required minimum payment for online orders.
The majority of food shopping was still done in person during the study’s time period, with participants shopping online just under 29% of the time. There is potential for online grocery shopping to reduce unhealthy food purchases, Rogus said, but the high percentage of times participants choosing to shop at a physical store means the full impact is unclear.
Online shopping can reduce the amount of money spent on unhealthy foods, but “people still need to make a wise decision to plan ahead and purchase a healthful and varied mix of foods consistent with a healthy diet,” Zatz stressed.

【推荐2】Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it's time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they're alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising atmosphere CO2 is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster tees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide.“By measuring tree rings' widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees' maximum lifespan (寿命).” Brienen explained.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees stared dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.

【推荐3】Parents play an important role in determining the educational success of their children. Their expectations for how well their children do at school and the environment at home are important determinants of achievements. Family influence is great in helping a child to realize academic accomplishment.
Children who live in homes in which the parents are academically successful, once they become parents, often feel that their job is to prepare their children to do likewise in school. They take their kids on vacation, and they spend time learning about local history at museums. They also may ensure that their kids have time to study and understand the importance of school attendance. School is a priority for these families , and children in these families grow up with a focus on learning.
Parents who have high academic expectations and those who adopt a more authoritarian parenting style for their children often have children who do well in school. However, it can be dangerous to set expectations too high, such that a child feels overly pressured to perform.
These types of expectations should be balanced with those that relate directly to the children , so that they will be able to personally set and reach goals, work hard and to enjoy being curious.
Parents who support their children in their academic work also positively influence their performance. This takes different forms for families. Some parents might help with homework , or volunteer at school. Others provide a quiet study space, a consistent bedtime or a positive example of hard work and discipline. How parents show support for their child’s academic career varies by family and by culture. No matter how it is shown, it is a vital part of a child’s academic success to know their parents are behind their efforts.
A love of reading in a household can also positively affect a child’s academic attainment. Learning new vocabulary, and how to predict, understand and respond to a text are just some of the skills children can learn at home and that are important in an academic environment. Reading books, newspapers, magazines and websites with children on a regular basis sets them up for success at school.

【推荐1】If native speakers of English are not to become international corporate pariahs(被社会遗弃者), they will need to learn how to speak global English - in other words, to communicate with non-native speakers.
Displeasure at the complexity of native speakers' English is widespread in international business. During a study carried out at Kone Elevators of Finland, one Finnish manager complained, “The British are the worst… It is much more difficult to understand their English than that of other nationalities. When we non-native speakers of English talk, it is much easier to understand. We have the same limited vocabulary.”
How can native speakers of English make themselves easier to understand and more likeable? The most obvious way is to learn someone else's language. The great benefit of learning other languages is that you have some idea of what non-native speakers are up against. However，the news that fewer than half of English schoolchildren are learning a foreign language suggests that this is not going to be a profitable route for many.
So what should native English speakers do to make themselves better understood? First, slow down, but not to the point where members of your audience think you are supporting them. Second, avoid idiomatic and metaphorical(比喻性的) expressions: that's the way the cookie crumbles, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones, and the like.
Jokes are a difficult area. You will not forget the silence that follows one that is found puzzling. On the other hand, when jokes work, they can be a huge success with a non-native speaking audience. If you have learnt other languages, you will know that very few achievements are as satisfying as understanding your first foreign joke. Try a few out with your non-native speaking audience; you will soon learn which ones are worth repeating.
It is often unnecessary to avoid long words such as “association” and “nationality”, which are common to the Romance languages and will be widely understood in Europe and Latin America.
Listen to verbal responses for signs of whether you have been understood or not. Make sure your non-native speaking colleagues have the chance to talk; they will often be rephrasing your words in an attempt to satisfy themselves that they have grasped(理解) what you said.
Always remember that the greatest friend of the non-native speakers is repetition. Find more than one way of getting your point across and summarize frequently.

The best time to visit Argentina
If you want to avoid crowds and peak prices while still enjoying everything offered, Lloyd, Director of Sunvil Latin America, advises visiting from October to mid-December and April to mid-June.
If you want to see the Patagonia penguins (企鹅), Tom Bourlet, a travel blogger, advises going between October and March.
The best places to visit in Argentina
“Buenos Aires is a melting pot of cultures,” said Tom Hughes, “Here travellers will discover a wealth of culture, not to mention it is the birthplace of a fast dance, tango. Nature lovers should head to the world’s largest waterfall system, Iguazu Falls.”
“I highly recommend San Carlos de Bariloche,” Tom Bourlet said. “It’s a quite beautiful and fantastic, and also acts as a good base for exploring the Lake District.”
“The best holiday destination in Argentina is Patagonia. The most famous place is Ushuaia — the southernmost city in the world. Expect glaciers (冰川), national parks, wildlife and end of the world cruising,” said Lloyd.
The best accommodation in Argentina
Lloyd advises avoiding some of the chain hotels. “While it may be attractive to stay at famous hotels, I recommend some of the smaller boutique hotels in the city,” he said.
Bourlet also recommends staying in some of Argentina’s more unique accommodation, such as a youth hostel and a boutique hotel in the heart of Argentina’s wine country.

【推荐3】It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine — “Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection — and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread.
According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr. Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by Comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.
In 1966,160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 11-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege. Their hardships were enormous. One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege’s hard work paid off—three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.
40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed one in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people — three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Let’s recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.
