16.What did you eat for lunch today?Did you choose this dish because it was healthy,cheap or because it was just very tasty?Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?
I love exploring trends in food.‘Fusion cuisine'is not for everybody.My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century.Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang,who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC,is a fan of the movement.She says:"Fusion has been happening for centuries,for as long as people have travelled,but with the Internet,and global travel,the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster."
Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made‘fusi on'elegant.He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s.This European worked at Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs.He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter."I believe authenticity is about evolution,not repeating your grandmother's recipe."he explains."Cooking is like painting or writing a song.Just as there ar e only so many notes or colours.There are only so many flavours-it's how you combine them that sets you apart."
My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement.Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong,it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally.Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.
All these trends give us food for thought.We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks.Tomorrow,why not find an exotic(异国情调的) restaurant and enjoy a feast?You dress trendy so eat trendy!

11.Why do men die earlier than women?The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25percent between 18and 70years of age,"said the head of the study,David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat.Between the age of 20and 70,one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,"said Goldspink."This is part of the ageing process."
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,"said Goldspink.They studied more than 250healthy men and women between the ages of 18and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,"said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

B.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C.the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D.women never lose their pumping power with age

D.prevent your cells from being lost
5.We can know from the passage thatB.
A.the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
B.scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
C.the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
D.women over 70could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20.

5.This is the season for giving.Looking to get in touch with your generous side?Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers.
1.(36)AConsiderate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person.Take time to think about his or her personality and interests to figure out how he or she will get the most value.
2.They don't focus on cost.
The practice of thoughtful giving offers a wealth of benefits,but that doesn't mean givers should focus on expensive gifts.(37)D It seems that having more cash could actually reduce compassion(同情).And isn't compassion what this time of year is all about?So don't take it too hard if you don't have a lot to spend.(38)B
3.They make gifts personal.
Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love him,and show how well you know him.(39)GBook a massage (按摩),take them to a wine tasting event,or get a couple of tickets to a concert or show.If you're buying for a parent,taking their kids for an evening could be the best gift of all.
4.They think about the presentation.
(40)ESee what you have around your house to customize packaging.You can use pretty towels to cover something like a bottle of wine.You can also tie on a decoration tha fits the theme of your gift.
A.They plan ahead.
B.Instead,get creative.
C.They enjoy giving more than receiving.
D.In fact,thoughtful gift givers don't concentrate on the cost of presents.
E.Thoughtful gift giers pay attention to detail,including how their gifts are packaged.
F.Make a list of your ideas ahead of time to make sure you find the perfect fit for everyone.
G.If you're buying for someone who seems to have everything,consider gifting an experience.
