A Chinese man brought his favorite dishes reganmian (热干面) and hot pot to Rovaniemi, Finland. He became the first Chinese to open a restaurant in the Arctic Circle (北极圈).

Hu Liang, from Central Chinas Hubei Province, moved to Finland after graduation at 21. For the last twelve years, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holidays.

“Chinese people are becoming richer and more international. What has not changed is their stomachs. So I made the decision to open the restaurant,” said Hu.

Hu’s restaurant serves reganmian, a traditional Wuhan noodle, as well as Chinese hot pot. He orders ingredients (原料) from China online and offers e-payment which is popular among Chinese people such as Alipay.

At a price of $18.45, a bowl of reganmian is not only great comfort for Chinese tourists who have traveled from thousands of miles away, but it also appeals to local Finns.

In Rovaniemi, with a population of around 60,000, Hu receives more than 300 guests in the peak season (最繁忙的季节) to offer people a “hot” experience in the cold, snowy land.

Married to a Finnish woman and father to one child, Hu has got used to the local lifestyle with lots of skiing (滑雪) and ice fishing trips.

He said he would bring his child to Wuhan, and try to switch (转换) between the two cities every half year.

1.Hu Liang moved to Finland ________.

A.with his family B.to open a restaurant.

C.12 years ago D.to get a better education

We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.

Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.

1.From the passage, what happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays?

A.People talk about their Weibo or We chat.

B.People take photos of food and post them before eating.

C.People like taking photos with friends or families.

D.People learn from each other how to cook dishes.

2.What does the fourth paragraph talk about?

A.The reasons for checking your mobiles.

B.The ways of posting the photos onto the Internet.

C.The tips (提示) of making others like your photos on the Weibo.

D.Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals.

3.Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?

A.We take out our mobiles and click when a dish comes.

B.We check our mobiles from time to time during the meal.

C.Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food.

D.Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.

B.Take photos of delicious food and share them with others.

C.Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food.

D.Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.
