Chinese food in Britain has over 100 years of history. Since then, they’ve been springing up around the country. Today, Chinese food is one of the top choices for hungry Englishmen.

But since coming to China, I’ve found some differences. Much of the Chinese food in Britain is influenced by western tastes. For example, dishes are not hot and had fewer kinds. It’s difficult to find the hot food of Yunnan food in Britain. The most popular Chinese dishes in Britain are chou mein, egg-fried rice and spring rolls. Also, meat dishes are always sweet and sour.

The Chinese food in Britain not only gives a different taste. In most Chinese restaurants, food is served as a buffet(自助的). And once you sit down in a Chinese restaurant, don’t hope to rotate(旋转) the dishes around a big round table to share. This kind of table in English is called a Lazy Susan because it’s convenient to move dishes around. But in Britain they are very uncommon.

At the end of the meal, don’t forget your lucky cookie! In most Chinese restaurants, you’ll be given a cake that you break a half. Inside is a small piece of paper with your lucky words written on it. Although you can hardly find lucky cakes in China, no Chinese meal in Britain is complete without reading these letters of good luck.

1.What does the underlined phrase “springing up” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. 出现　　　　　　 B.变化　　　　　　 C. 服务　　　　　　 D. 分享

2.According to the writer, Chinese dishes in Britain ___________.

A. are hotter

B. are the same as Western dishes

C. have fewer kinds

D. have the same taste as those in China

3.From the last paragraph, we can learn that _________________.

A. People will become lucky if they have lucky cakes.

B. lucky cakes are also very popular in China.

C. English people like reading lucky words in the cakes

D. Chinese meals are too much for an English person to finish

4.What’s the title of the passage?

A. Chinese Lucky Cakes　　　　　　　 B. Chinese Food in Britain

C. English Food from China　　　　 D. a Lazy Susan

Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California on July 10, 2007. He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.

Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors(发动机) at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents(洲) along the way.

Dear Liz，

My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．

Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10  million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside  the city．There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who  is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．

I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent  in English，and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don’t use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks． When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．

Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I  thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket  Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel  to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they  have two elephants．I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them．Sanan and  Chinda say it’s really fun．

I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an  important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of  Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．

I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write．

Love,

    　　 Mandy
