In Italy, a law which includes a step-by-step guide to the perfect pizza was passed. It covers the pizza’s shapes, depth, toppings, and even the way olive oil(橄榄油)must be poured on top. According to Alfredo Folliero, a member of the European Union Traditional Pizza Association, pizza-making is an art. You need passion to make pizza. He believes that the secret lies in the dough(面团) and how you roll it, which has developed over hundreds of years. It must be soft and elastic(有弹性的), according to the law. Special instruments are needed for making pizza. The law will be a basic rule for pizza-makers in Naples, where Italians say the pizza was born more than 300 years ago. They say that there are only three types of Neapolitan pizza. The first is Marinara with garlic. The second, a Margherita, must be made with tomatoes and cheese from the southern Apennine Mountains. Finally, the “Extra Margherita” must include mozzarella(一种意大利干酪)from Campania. A true Neapolitan pizza must be cooked in a wood-fired oven and the final product must be soft, elastic, and easy to fold in two, the law says. Pizza comes from the flat bread that is common to Mediterranean cultures. It has enjoyed a high status in Naples since the Margherita, on which are tomatoes and mozzarella, was invented in 1889.It was made in honor of a visit to the city by Queen Margherita, the wife of King Umberto I. Its ingredients(成分)were chosen to symbolize the red, white and green colours of the Italian national flag. The pizza police might not be too far, as pizza-makers will be checking the making of pizzas at all stages. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that______ A. there was no standard guide for pizza-making in Italy before B. Italians are not satisfied with the law C. The making of a perfect pizza has nothing to do with the materials used D. anyone could be a wonderful pizza-maker if he makes it according to the law 2. Pizza-making is an art because_____ A. the pizza-maker needs to know something about art B. skills and techniques are necessary in the course of pizza-making. C. Pizza comes from Mediterranean cultures D. Pizza-making calls for an educational background. 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. There’s no special need for instruments when making pizza. B. Pizza’s coming into being has some historical backgrounds. C. Pizza police will be needed to check whether pizza is made according to the law D. The law is for making sure that pizza in Italy is made in the same way and has same shape.

The small unframed painting called “Fisherman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.
Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140.the picture was dirty, and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I like. I bought it because of the frame.”
“It’s most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.”
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $ 140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.”
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of his explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of (指控) knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible (blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods bought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty.
