Can you imagine that several hundred years ago, tomatoes were seen as toxic food in Europe?

What made Europeans believe this was John Gerard’s publication of Herbal in 1597. Gerard wrote: “The leaves and stalks of the tomato plant are toxic.” Undoubtedly, Gerard’s opinion was based on a misunderstanding of tomatoes. But his opinion was widely spread in Britain and North America for over two hundred years.

In the late 1700s, a lot of Europeans held more fears for tomatoes. A nick name for the fruit was “poison apple” because it was believed that aristocrats(贵族) got sick and died after eating them. But the actual reason was the pewter plates they used. Since tomatoes are high in acidity, when placed on the plates, the lead(铅) in the plates would dissolve(溶解). This caused many deaths. Unluckily, no one knew this at that time. So the innocent tomatoes were picked as the killer.

Today, more than one and a half billion tons of tomatoes are produced every year around the world. Tomatoes are cooked in various ways. This healthy and tasty food finally wins its innocence(清白) back.

A. Europeans’ fears for tomatoes

C. Why do people eat so many tomatoes

D. How did the tomato prove its value

2.What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 1 mean?

3.When did people begin to eat tomatoes according to the text?

A. About 100 years ago. B. About 200 years ago.

C. About 300 years ago. D. About 400 years ago.

4.What’s the key point for the death of the aristocrats mentioned in the passage?

A. Tomatoes. B. The pewter plate.

C. Serious illness. D. Chemical reaction.

 

China is having such a huge influence on the United States that many Americans are struggling to learn the Chinese language in a bid to keep competitive.

“Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years,” said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society. China’s quick rise to near-superpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the American’s interest to learn the language, experts say. From kindergartens to high schools, studies by the Asia Society show, there is a “rapid rise” in interest among pupils to study the Chinese language. “The Chinese rich cultural traditions and blossoming economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared,” said Michael Levine, Asia Society's executive director of education. A survey found that 2,400 high schools - an unbelievably high number - would be interested in offering the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2016.

China, the world’s most popular nation, is important to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. Its political influence is also rising across the world. It has replaced the United States as the world’s largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the United States, in the next two to three decades.

Even though the US State Department has described the Chinese language “critical” to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is terribly not enough,” an Asia Society study says. The Society has set an aim of having at least five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015.

“Millions of Chinese are learning English, but only 24,000 Americans are learning Chinese,” said Andrew Corcoran of the San Francisco-based Chinese American International School. The most popular languages after English in US schools at present are Spanish and French while Japanese is the most popular Asian language.

1.The underlined word blossoming (Para. 2)means______.

A.weak B.old C.developing D.developed

2.Why do more and more Americans begin to learn the Chinese language?

A. To be a bridge between the two big countries.

B. To keep competitive.

C. Because they are always interested in it.

D. To gain advantage in trade.

3.What problems is the US faced with when it comes to learning Chinese?

A. A lack in current facilities to support recruitment of students and teachers and programs.

B. Not many people want to learn foreign languages.

C. The language is rather difficult compared with English.

D. Too many Chinese are learning English.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. Foreign Language Learning

B. Danger from China

C. The Chinese Language gets More Popular

D. Difficulties in Learning the Chinese Language.
