7 . I’m a chef and there are some Starbucks drinks I love ordering and others I never do. I prefer hot drinks to iced beverages, and I'm a big fan of the chai latte and plain green tea. I’m not into sugary drinks like the crème-brûlée latte or the chain's version of a match a latte. As a chef who often needs a caffeine boost, I’m a regular at Starbucks. But I don’t like every drink the chain has to offer. Here are the things I love to order, plus the drinks I tend to avoid.

Nothing beats an English-breakfast tea latte.

It’s about time that some other teas got the royal treatment that Earl Grey has had in a London Fog for far too long. English breakfast is a bolder, stronger, and more flavorful tea. It’s also delicious when topped with steamed milk and foam (I get extra).

I’ve grown to really enjoy the honey flat white with almond (杏仁) milk.

Honey and coffee is an under-appreciated pairing that works really well in a flat-white drink. It's light, with just a bit of sweetness that's not over-powering. Since almond milk doesn’t foam as well as regular milk, a smooth flat white is a good way to do it justice in a steamed coffee drink.

When I need an afternoon boost, I get a chai latte.

I love a chai latte, especially as an afternoon pick-me-up on a chilly day. I find that Starbucks’ chai concentrate can be a little sweet, so I like to ask for one less pump of chai syrup (糖浆) . If I’m looking for an extra wake-up, I’ll add a shot of espresso (浓缩咖啡) for some bitterness (also called a “dirty chai”).

I never order a plain espresso from Starbucks.

For me, a plain shot of espresso is too bitter, too short-lived, and too caffeinated. The toasted white-chocolate mocha Frappuccino is too sweet for me. I tend to avoid anything with white chocolate, and Starbucks’ frosty drink is no exception. If the toasted white-chocolate mocha wasn’t enough to send me into sleepiness, the seasonal drink comes topped with cream and sugar.

1. What is the writer’s recommendation for the replacement of Earl Grey?

A．A London Fog.	B．Plain green tea.
C．English-breakfast tea latte.	D．Any iced beverage.

2. Which Starbucks drink might the writer choose when feeling low-spirited?

A．Dirty chai latte.

B．Crème-brûlée latte.

C．Plain espresso.

D．Match a latte.

3. What might be the writer’s least favorite Starbucks drink?

A．Any steamed coffee drink.	B．Honey flat white with almond milk.
C．Toasted white-chocolate mocha Frappuccino.	D．Any seasonal drink topped with cream and sugar.

8 . The number of times I’ve been asked how I became a food and travel writer is too many to count. Frankly, I’m not exactly sure how to ______. Eating is a necessary part of life, and I appreciate good ______, whether it’s chicken and rice served from a hawker stand or a perfect dish in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

I’m not a ______ writer of food, since I ______ review restaurants in the traditional sense. Instead, I’m more interested in food’s ______ and what it reveals about cultures. For instance, how did Mexican cacao get to Europe, and how did the Czech kolache find its way to Central Texas? Knowing the ______ behind such things is a ______ in history that goes far beyond a pretty dish presented on a plate.

There’s not a more ______ way to get a taste of a place than by taking food-themed tours. Many tours include market visits, which are the best way to experience life as a(n) ______. Markets are the hearts of communities and reveal not only the way a culture eats, but also how they ______ and interact.

Traditions and culture are deeply ______ food and through cooking lessons. The number of cooking classes that I’ve ______ around the world can’t be counted. Now, I’m no Alain Ducasse in the kitchen, and rarely do I ______ at home. However, including these types of classes into my journey is something that I ______. And even though the acquired cooking skills don’t translate back to my home kitchen, the cultural ______ still resonates (产生共鸣).

10 . Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”? We put this to the test by asking three people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles.

Jenny 31 Teacher

My husband and I avoid all products that come from animals. This means we don’t eat meat. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Cooking together gives us a chance to relax and catch up on each other’s days. If we have children, I want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be able to make their own lifestyle choices.

Ted 35 Construction worker

Each day at the construction site is more or less the same — tiring! When I get back home, there’s nothing more satisfying than a big meat dinner. I guess I’ve always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family meal is complete without some form of meat. I still don’t think that anything can beat my mum’s homemade sausages, though.

Mike 49 Chef

With five children, we’re one big family! My wife and I both work full-time, so life can get pretty busy! Like a lot of chefs I know, I don’t really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week, we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, but ready meals are so convenient.

1. What can we learn about Jenny?

A．She likes ready meals.	B．She has children to bring up.
C．She enjoys vegetable-free dinners.	D．She enjoys cooking together with her husband.

2. What might Mike say?

A．My fridge is filled with meat.

B．As a chef, I don’t need so much frozen food.

C．I provide fresh fruit and vegetables for my children.

D．It’s convenient to eat food brought from my workplace.

3. What is the type of the text?

A．Interview notes.	B．A cooking guide.
C．An advertisement.	D．Product introductions.
