Chinese food in Britain has over 100 years of history. Since then, they’ve been springing up around the country. Today, Chinese food is one of the top choices for hungry Englishmen.
But since coming to China, I’ve found some differences. Much of the Chinese food in Britain is influenced by western tastes. For example, dishes are not hot and had fewer kinds. It’s difficult to find the hot food of Yunnan food in Britain. The most popular Chinese dishes in Britain are chou mein, egg-fried rice and spring rolls. Also, meat dishes are always sweet and sour.
The Chinese food in Britain not only gives a different taste. In most Chinese restaurants, food is served as a buffet(自助的). And once you sit down in a Chinese restaurant, don’t hope to rotate(旋转) the dishes around a big round table to share. This kind of table in English is called a Lazy Susan because it’s convenient to move dishes around. But in Britain they are very uncommon.
At the end of the meal, don’t forget your lucky cookie! In most Chinese restaurants, you’ll be given a cake that you break a half. Inside is a small piece of paper with your lucky words written on it. Although you can hardly find lucky cakes in China, no Chinese meal in Britain is complete without reading these letters of good luck.
1.What does the underlined phrase “springing up” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. 出现 B.变化 C. 服务 D. 分享
2.According to the writer, Chinese dishes in Britain ___________.
A. are hotter
B. are the same as Western dishes
C. have fewer kinds
D. have the same taste as those in China
3.From the last paragraph, we can learn that _________________.
A. People will become lucky if they have lucky cakes.
B. lucky cakes are also very popular in China.
C. English people like reading lucky words in the cakes
D. Chinese meals are too much for an English person to finish
4.What’s the title of the passage?
A. Chinese Lucky Cakes B. Chinese Food in Britain
C. English Food from China D. a Lazy Susan

Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small bottle. The bottle is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
