Throughout history, people are now aware that Australian cuisine was based on the old British cooking which was handed down by the first settlers. Modern Australian cuisine, however, has been heavily influenced by Australia’s Asian and Southeast Asian neighbors. The trend, motivated by the government health programs, is towards low-fat healthy cookery including low-fat meat and lightly cooked colorful, steamed or fried vegetables. Besides, like many English families, in many Australian homes, a widespread tradition of having roast turkey, chicken, and ham for Christmas lunch or dinner still remains.

Basically speaking, breakfast is comparatively light for most Australians. But in the colder regions porridge or meals similar to the full English breakfast may be consumed. In recent years, however, most Australian people prefer light breakfast in order to control their weight. The light breakfast commonly consists of cereals, toast and fruit. A heavier breakfast will frequently include fried bacon, eggs, mushrooms, etc. Drinks consumed at breakfast include tea, coffee, milk or juice.

The meal in the evening is the main meal of the day for most Australians. When consumed at home, it is often eaten with members of the immediate family. The dishes served will vary widely according to the tastes and background of the family. A typical Australian restaurant might offer sandwiches, chicken or other meat-based dishes and cakes.

In recent years, take-away food is becoming popular in Australia. American style chain restaurants are common including Subway, KFC, and Mcdonald’s.

With the high portion of immigration from the Middle East，South and Southeast Asia，Korea，China and other countries from all over the world to Australia，any authentic and high-quality restaurants are run by first and second generation immigrants from these areas.

1.According to the first paragraph, what does the Australian government encourage its people to do?

A. To have roast turkey for Christmas dinner.

B. To try to eat low-fat healthy foods.

C. To use traditional British cooking methods.

D. To learn from Asian neighbors to cook foods.

2.The main idea of the second paragraph is_____.

A. what Australian people drink at breakfast.

B. what breakfast Australian people have nowadays.

C. that Australians often have a heavy breakfast.

D. that most Australian people don’t have breakfast to lose weight.

3.The underlined part “the immediate family” in Paragraph 3 probably mean people who_____.

A. have the same family names.

B. do some cooking together at times.

C. live next to one another in the same area.

D. are very directly-related members of a family

4. From the passage, we can learn that_____.

A. fewer and fewer immigrants enter Australia every year

B. Subway is a chain restaurant and it is from the South America

C. home cooking is becoming more and more popular in Australia

D. Asian and Southeast Asian countries have a great impact on the modem Australian food.

When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday best.

But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.

Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party.

Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.

1. Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining?

A. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality

B. Family members need more time to relax.

C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.

D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.

2.It can be learned from the passage that 'Royal Doulton is .

A. a seller of stainless steel tableware

B. a dealer in stoneware

C. a pottery chain store

D. a producer of fine china

3.The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is .

A. the increased value of the pound

B. the worsening economy in Asia

C. the change in people's way of life

D. the fierce competition at home and abroad

4.Formal table manners, though less popular than before in current Social life,___________.

A. are still a must on certain occasions

B. are certain to return sooner or later

C. are still being taught by parents at home

D. can help improve personal relationships

Whether it’s joining a school club, going to a friend’s birthday party, or travelling by train, we can meet new people anywhere and anytime in our lives. However, many of us feel awkward when meeting people for the first time, especially when we aren’t quite sure what to say. The situation feels cold, even icy.

“Breaking the ice” is a term widely used in the English-speaking countries to describe a small talk technique that can help rescue a conversation from certain failure.

So where do you even begin? Well, a good start is to accept that it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous when talking to someone for the first time. They might look grumpy or scary, but they could turn out to be the nicest person you’ve ever met.

You might think that breaking the ice is difficult. But sometimes just a simple “hello”, followed by a three-second smile, can make all the difference.

Complimenting someone on their garment or accessories(饰品) is also a great, easy way to break the ice. You might say: “I love your jacket. Where did you buy it from？”

Being in an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation with someone new might feel terrible, but it can actually be one of the best icebreakers. By focusing on the situation, you come together to fight the common enemy: the long bathroom queue, for example, or the overcrowded bus.

You can make observations too. “What kind of drink is that?” “That’s a lovely name. What does it mean?” “Do you study here too?” There are opportunities all around you to ask questions that don’t seem weird, as long as you have some follow-up questions in mind.

If you’re feeling extra bold, make a joke. Jokes can be difficult to master but if you get them right, they show the likeable, witty side of your character. “What’s your name?” “Well, people usually call me Mike, but you can call me tonight.”

1.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. How to develop friendship with a stranger

B. Advice on breaking the ice when we communicate with a stranger

C. How to become a successful public speaker

D. How to start a conversation with a person

2.The underlined word “grumpy” can be replaced by______.

A. easily annoyed B. gentle

C. low-spirited D. cheerful

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. “Breaking the ice” is a small talk technique widely used in our daily communication all over the world.

B. As long as you can smile at others, you will make some friends.

C. Realizing that it’s normal to feel nervous in front of a stranger is a good start to break the ice.

D. Being in an uncomfortable situation with some strangers can be the best icebreakers.

4.According to the passage, making a joke________.

A. can be done with ease.

B. leads to many new friends.

C. can show your wisdom and lovely character.

D. makes you enjoy your life happily.
