Pizza: the World's Favorite Food

Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn new ways of growing, processing and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes, too. One food that has done this successfully is pizza.

The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special Pizza for the Italian royal (皇室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn't like it, but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted (适应) to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Indians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.

At first it was only popular with Indians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas. That's more than $100 per American.

The Pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.

The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today's super-fast society, people often don't have the time or energy to cook. So, they order take-out and very often, it's a pizza. Sometimes you don't even have to pick it up, it's delivered (递送) to your home. If you don't even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up.

The Pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world's favorite foods.

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. And western hosts sometimes look impolite in the eyes of Chinese guests. It’s because the guest- host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.

In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually, I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No.” In my culture, if you smoke in their house, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house, they are not impolite hosts.

Guests in China also have special habits. They usually give hosts gifts when visiting a Chinese family. However, it’s not necessary in my country. So if you invite foreign guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.

In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt (适应) to the habits of your hosts.

1.When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he is often regarded as a god.

2.The writer’s wife’s mother will stop her guests smoking because she isn’t a smoker.

3.According to the article, the writer is probably a Chinese.

4.It’s necessary for a guest to give the host a gift when visiting a western family.

5.The writer tells us to act as the host does when visiting someone’s home.

Do you know we are living in the world of mass media? Mass media are tools of communication and allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large，scattered audience.

However，have you imagined what life would be without the media? Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV，friend requests，exciting online games and your mobile—or would you easily survive?

Recently，university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged．It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban(禁止)by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.

Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos，a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However，during the experiment，Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal(孤僻)symptoms，overeating， feeling nervous，isolated and disconnected.”

During their 24-hour ordeal，three volunteers had to endure one intrusion from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.

Elliot Day wrote: “Today，my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media，I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”

From Caroline Scott，we read: “I didn’t expect it，but being taken away from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like Dr. Roman Gerodimos expected us all to，but it’s not something I would like to do again!”

And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile； not only is it a social gadget，it’s my main access point of communication.”

Earlier in the year，a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media，often plugged into several things at once．And a recent study by Nielson found that on average，US teenagers send and receive over 3，000 texts per month—that’s about six texts per waking hour.

So，with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate，how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

1.According to the passage，what do you learn about the global experiment called Unplugged?

A.The experiment was carried out by US and UK governments.

B.The volunteers of the experiment are all university students.

C.It has been carried out in more than 10 countries for 24 hours.

D.Its findings proved that Dr. Gerodimos’ expectations were true.

2.According to what the three volunteers wrote during the experiment，we can learn that ______.

A.they all feel very surprised and worried

B.all of them feel empty without a mobile

C.it is hard for them to spend the 24 hours without media

D.it makes them realize the social importance of mobile

3.What does the writer think about the mass media?

A.He prefers not to live with it． B.He thinks highly of it.

C.He worries about its influence． D.He is not sure about it.

4.The underlined expression “break out in a cold sweat” probably means _______.

A.losing temper and feeling very angry

B.feeling cold due to sweating a lot

C.feeling empty and wanting to escape

D.sweating because one is nervous

5.What can be the best title of the passage?

A.Hello，technology! B.The young’s lives，a mess?

C.Welcome，information age! D.Mass media，a lifelong partner?
