Convenience(方便) Foods
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. Many of them are frozen, such as frozen dinner, heat-and-serve French fries, and frozen pizzas. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as ready-made spaghetti, soups, stews(炖熟的菜肴), and vegetables.
Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cool or wash dishes. But they often cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives. Also, many people feel they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Food and Co-ops
In the 1960s, a back-to-the-earth movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. From the movement came a new understanding of food and health. Many people now prefer natural and organic(有机的) foods to the prepared foods sold in health food stores and in food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store. In co-ops, food is usually not packaged. Customers bring their own bags and jars and scoop(汲取) their food out of boxes or baskets.
The Diet Craze (节食热)
These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business.
American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods such as diet soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend money on diet pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服). Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的) Diet, the Nine-day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet. There is even one called the Ice Cream Diet, which advisers the dieter to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement.
36. Generally speaking, convenience foods in America _________. .
A. are shipped from foreign countries B. are made by farmers on farms
C. are popular with people D. are better than fresh ones
37. Young people who started a “back-to-the-earth” movement __________.
A. might be too foolish B. should be praised for their action
C. might suffer from some disease D. might get less money from their companies
38. From the fourth paragraph, we can find that ________.
A. the diet craze in the US is unnecessary
B. rich American people should offer their money to the poor
C. businessmen are getting much money from the diet craze
D. fat Americans are too foolish to take too much food
39. What’s the writer’s opinion on American diets?
A. They are all effective to people B. They are of no effect to people.
C. The Ice Dream Diet is the best. D. Not all of them are believable.
40. What would be the best title for this text?

C. Making American Food D. Cooking American Food

Do you love the holidays, but hate the increase in weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. But many people are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods. When properly planned, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you. Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast(宴会), have a small, low-fat meal or snack(快餐). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before the delicious foods.
Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have much fat in them. Choose lean(瘦) meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try some fruits. They do not have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Every Dec.26,millions of people in Britain, Canada and Australia take an extra 24 hours off after Christmas to celebrate what to most Americans sounds like a made-up holiday.
A few years ago, one of my friends moved to London and I visited her for New Year’s Eve .I flew into Heathrow Airport a few days after Christmas, unable to travel before that as I had to be at work on the 26th
“But that’s Boxing Day,” she said.
“Who’s in the match?” I wondered.
“No, It’s British. It’s the holiday the day after Christmas.” She said and explained, as she understood it, of Boxing Day. It had something to do with the day the servants in English society got their gifts and the day off after serving the gentlemen during the Christmas festivities.
Nice idea. Why didn’t it translate to the colonies across the Atlantic?
Some historians believe that Boxing Day was invented to strengthen the English class system, when the middle-and-upper class would give money or goods to the servant class or poor the day after Christmas, expecting nothing in return. The upper class exchanged with each other, as equals, on Christmas proper.
It would have been improper for a lower class person of higher station because it would have implied that they were equals, some historians say. Therefore, Boxing Day.
Other historians say the boxes of food and other goods given by the merchant class to servants and tradesmen were a kind of Christmas tip. The “tips” were packaged in boxes, like Christmas presents.
Another its true origins, historians agree, Boxing Day has nothing to do with our unofficial American Boxing Day rituals of throwing empty gift boxes or covering paper out of the house, or returning unwanted gifts to the department store.
If it were ever to catch on in the States, maybe we could
call Boxing Day? Sharing Day? Don’t Be Selfish Day? Pay It Forward Day? Be Nice
Day?
Or maybe just Good Day.
46. British Boxing Day is celebrated in the following countries except .
A. America B.
Canada C.
Britain D. Australia
47.On Dec. 26, British people will do the following things but .
A. 
give presents to those of a lower class
B. return unwanted gifts to the department store
C. have a good rest
D. throw empty gift boxes out of the house
48. The underlined phrase “catch on” means .
A. begin to be understood
B. become popular
C. attract people’s attention D. have a good effect
49. How many explanations about the tradition of Boxing Day are given in the passage?
A. One B. Two C. Four D. Five
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. British Boxing Day is different from American Boxing Day.
B. How British Boxing Day came about.
C. What British people do on Boxing Day.
D. The history and present situation of British Boxing Day.
D.
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing water content from food helps to keep it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods contain water- cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 60% to 80% depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked.
Fruit is sun—dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain, and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used are different, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun, in order to prevent darkening.
Nowadays most foods are dried by machine. The method of such dehydration(脱水) is to put food in rooms through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for dying such things as vegetables , minced meat and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a room through which a current of hot air passes.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried—out moisture with boiling water.
51. The open—air method of drying food_______.
A. is the one most commonly used today
B. was invented by the American Indians
C. has been known for hundreds of years
D. proves to be unhygienic
52. The water content_________.
A. is not different from food to food
B. is greater in green vegetables than in lean meat
C. is greater in fish than in vegetables
D. has never been exactly worked out]
53. Fruit is sun—dried_______.
A. always by the same method
B. in every country in the world
C. by spreading it out under glass panels
D. generally on trays
54. Dried foods_________.
A. are often packed in cans or frozen
B. are often used by soldiers and climbers
C. need more storage space than soldiers usually have available
D. are much cheaper than canned or frozen products
55. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Housewives like dried foods because they taste better.
B. Nowadays vegetables are most commonly dried in hot—air rooms.
C. Bacteria which cause food to go bad have their activity greatly reduced by dying.
D. Powdered coffee is made in one of the two different ways.
