You may never think a documentary film could have aroused so much public enthusiasm in Chinese history. Nowadays everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary landscape.

According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.

However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”

How will a varied and ancient food culture that is famous worldwide and which should have made the Chinese proud end? Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry has made people a little worried due to some severe food safety crisis. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for immoral businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. Therefore, food safety problems should be an important concern of Chinese government so that our ancient food culture can be preserved.

As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and safe.

1.The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_______.

A. delicious food B. latest technology

C. beautiful clothes D. great inventions

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about_______.

A. the content of the documentary

B. the producer of the documentary

C. the popularity of the documentary

D. the history of Chinese gourmet

3.We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that _______.

A. the price of food is too high for many common people

B. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director

C. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality

D. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture

4.According to the passage, China’s food industry has a problem of faking and cheating because_______.

A. there are still so many poor people at the present time

B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough

C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so

D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developing countries

As we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles and maintaining a youthful body． 1. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals how to keep your voice youthful．

Drink more fluid and avoid spicy food

You need water for the vocal cords（聲帶）to vibrate well．The body must keep absorbing enough water to make the vocal cords operate well．Drinking 1．5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important．2.

Rest the throat and talk regularly

The vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough．If you have a case of laryngitis（喉炎）with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice．

Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important．“As older people have less mobile, they can become socially isolated and speak less,” says Mr. Rubin．“The elderly need to communicate with people more．3. ”

4.

Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we’d better stand properly．Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone．

Sing in the shower

This is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates the voice box．“ 5. ” says Mr. Rubin．Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone．

A．Improve your posture

B．By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down．

C．But people often don’t realize the voice needs looking after．

D．The Voice of Young Science programme encourages early career researchers to play an active role in public debates about science．

E．Singing is to the voice what gymnastics are to human beings．

F．Using the vocal cords regularly will definitely age our voice more quickly．

G．Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate．
