There are not many nations that can say their national dish has become international.     1     Both are famous all over the world, and both have made the history of Italian food. People have been eating pizza, in one form or another, for centuries. They eat it everywhere — at home, in restaurants, or on street comers.

The word “pizza” came from the Latin word “pinsa” meaning flatbread. Long ago, pieces of flatbread, topped with mushrooms and herbs (香料), were a simple and tasty meal. They were mostly for those who didn’t have enough money to buy plates, or who were on the go. In the 18th century, Naples, in southern Italy, had become one of the largest cities in Europe, and it was growing fast. Lots of city people were poor and they were always rushing around to look for work.     2     Pizzas were cut to meet the customers’needs. They were inexpensive, used easy-to-find ingredients (原料), and could be made with plenty of flavor.

It was in America that pizza found its second home.     3     Soon, pizza spread across the country with the rapid development of the city. It was increasingly considered as a fast, funny food. People might like New York-style thin pizza, or Chicago deep-dish thick pizza. Some want extra cheese on their pizzas while others only like vegetables. The secret is, almost everyone likes pizzas.

For a lot of people in western countries, when they cannot decide what to eat, they order pizzas.

A. Nobody knows where pizza came from.

4 . Historically, space food was mainly provided in pastes(糊) and eaten from tubes. In 1961, the first food was eaten in space by Yuri Gagarin, who became the first man in space and the first person to eat in space. Aboard Vostok 1 on 12 April 1961, Gagarin ate beef paste from a tube by squeezing it into his mouth.

As science and technology have provided us with new forms of food processing and packaging, the foods have also improved to now resemble many meals we have on Earth. When planning which foods to send into space, they are divided into the following groups:

●Fresh foods —produce with a two-day shelf life, such as fruit and vegetables, is refrigerated onboard the spacecraft and consumed quickly to avoid going bad. As vitamins and nutrients can generally be satisfied by other means, this product is sent to keep spirits high.

●Irradiated(辐照的) foods—meat and dairy produce have been specially processed before packaging to increase the items’ shelf life.

●Intermediate moisture(水分适中) foods—these foods contain a small quantity of water and are often soft. Processes such as salting or sun-drying are used in the creation of these items and require no further preparation.

●Natural form foods—foods such as nuts, biscuits, and chocolate bars are simply packaged and ready to eat.

●Rehydratable(可复水的) foods and drinks—for a long time, this was the standard method of preparing food for space. Removing the water from the food or drink makes it difficult for bacteria to multiply and dramatically extends the product’s shelf life, and reduces the chance of them going bad. These products have water returned to them when astronauts are ready to eat.

Today, astronauts have a range of food to choose from. On the ISS (International Space Station), food is delivered refrigerated or dehydrated(脱水的) once every 90 days, which can be cooked in microwaves. Different nations aboard the ISS provide their traditional courses and snacks, helping the crew to share their cultures while having a taste of home.

5 . Sugarcane（甘蔗）was first used around 8000 BC. In the early 19th century，factories began to produce sweets in large numbers. They were able to do this because sugar had become less expensive. Before long，machines helped with the production. Sweets no longer had to be made by hand.

In 1823，a sweet shop opened in a small town in the north of England. It was called The Oldest Sweet Shop in England. In 2013，Guinness World Records confirmed（证实）that it is the longest running sweet shop in the world. And it continues to sell many kinds of sweets that our parents，grandparents and even our great grandparents enjoyed when they were small.

Some of the sweets are still made within the shop and heated in 100–year–old pans. The shop also looks as if it came directly from an old storybook. Some large old bottles filled with all kinds of sweets are in the show box. Old-fashioned scales（老式的秤）are on the table. When it's time to pay，a till（放钱的抽屉）as old as the shop is still used.

The shop is owned by Keith and Gloria Tordoff，who bought it in 1993. Keith says he always likes to try all the sweets. He tells everyone that he does this to examine if the sweets are good.

6 . Chocolate is a kind of food. But do you know it came as a drink at first? It was made from the seeds of cacao trees. The seeds were first found to be useful about 2,000 years ago. Early Central Americans and Mexicans used the seeds of cacao trees to make a drink that tasted bitter, not sweet. Later on, this drink was made into a sweet drink, known as hot chocolate today.

Why does chocolate taste sweet? That’s because a lot of sugar is added. This means that chocolate can be bad for your teeth and health. But it’s proved that chocolate is safe to eat unless you have too much of it.

There are mainly three types of chocolate: white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Among the three, white chocolate tastes the sweetest. Milk chocolate is sweet, but not as sweet as white chocolate. Dark chocolate is the least sweet and has the strongest chocolate flavor.

Today chocolate is often used in cakes, ice creams, puddings, candies and so on. It is popular with people, especially the young. However, according to a report, chocolate could not be seen any more in the year of 2050. It may disappear because of higher temperatures and drier weather conditions.

8 . On the night of 14th June 1904, New York’s Chinatown was in a deep gloom (低迷). For the past 20 years, the restaurants were filled with those crazy about a taste of real Chinese cooking “chop suey”. But suddenly, all that seemed at risk. A few days earlier, a chef named Lem Sen had arrived, saying he had invented it a decade before while working at a restaurant in San Francisco. His recipe had been stolen by an American diner to make money. Through his lawyer, he demanded restaurants pay him for using his recipe.

Chop suey was first mentioned by Chinese-American journalist Wang Chin Foo in a list of common dishes he thought most attractive to Western tastes. As he explained, “each Chinese cook has his own recipe. The main parts are pork, bacon, chicken, mushroom, bamboo shoots, onion, and pepper, while accidental ones are duck, beef, salted black beans etc. Yet it is often considered by Westerners that this is a ‘national dish of China’ more than any other dish they’ve known.”

Although a hyperbolic way to introduce this dish, it clearly showed that chop suey was indeed of Chinese origin. Where exactly its roots lay has been debated; but it was probably first cooked in Taishan, Guangdong, where most early immigrants to America had grown up. In 1866, the journalist Allan Forman noticed it as a delicious dish despite its “mysterious nature”, and nine years later, the first recipe appeared in magazines, with some un-Chinese ingredients thrown in.

It was not long before a myth making began. In 1896, Li Hongzhang visited New York, and newspapers mistakenly reported that while refusing Western dishes at a banquet (宴会), he had enthusiastically accepted a plate of chop suey. This caused a great hit, and many who never heard of it before simply assumed that it was introduced to the US by Li Hongzhang, which accidentally promoted the dish’s popularity.

1. What is the purpose of a chef’s story in paragraph 1?

A．To describe food history.	B．To bring out chop suey.
C．To show risky business world.	D．To introduce a law case.

2. What would Wang Chin Foo most agree with about chop suey?

A．Fixed ingredients.	B．Its popularity overseas.
C．Un-Chinese nature.	D．Mixed national identities.

3. When chop suey was introduced in a “hyperbolic” way, it was_________.

A．remarked beyond reality	B．explained in greater details
C．praised in something common	D．commented based on the origin

4. What can be inferred about the myth making on chop suey?

A．Li Hongzhang promoted this dish.	B．Its popularity was based on facts.
C．Mass media belonged to the root cause.	D．Public opinions voiced acceptance.
