Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East—the ancient custom of "tonic food".
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil(麻油) chicken soup every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as "hot", while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as "cold". One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food. However, how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry(枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
1.What is the present situation of tonic food
A.It is catching less attention. B.It is enjoyed by many young people.
C.It is well-known worldwide. D.It is becoming increasingly popular.
2.What is believed to benefit new mothers
A.Chinese cabbage. B.Fruit tea.
C.Sesame oil chicken soup. D.Fish soup.
3.Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3
A.Medicine. B.Restaurant. C.Manufacture. D.Agriculture.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The Charm of Chinese Cuisine B.The Popularity of Tonic Food
C.An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food D.Differences Between "Hot" Food and "Cold" Food

读后续写
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a bitterly cold and dark day in December. I was walking home from work, hungry and worn out after my long day. My team was due to complete our big project before we left for our winter vacation, but our boss delivered bad news that our client had contacted him and demanded a major revision on the project before they would accept it. The whole team was desperate—we were so close to finishing and now we would most likely have to work over and miss the entire vacation.
So caught up in my anxious thoughts was I that I failed to watch where I was walking until I stepped, with a dramatic splash(溅起), off the sidewalk and into a giant, half-frozen pool of water at the side of the road. I could feel the icy water into my shoes and socks, slowly soaking up into my trousers legs around my ankles. I sighed deeply and almost cried—I was having, as my grandmother always used to say, "one of those days when nothing goes your way."
A wave of loneliness filled me. I loved my job and my coworkers and most days when I was satisfied with my life but now, especially around the holidays, the reminders that I didn't have a partner or children like my sister or some of my coworkers did fill me with sadness. As I looked down sadly at my unpleasant situation, I saw a brief spot of movement out of the corner of my eye. There, attached to a cold piece of cardboard in the middle of the pool, was a small patch of grey fur.
As I watched, the little spot moved again, before letting out an outsized cry of sorrow and grief, so loud was it that you would think it came from a creature five times the size. It was a cat!
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and carefully so as not to frighten it, I bent down and picked up the cat.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
My sister is a nurse, and therefore the family expert on caring for animals.

五、答案：
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and carefully so as not to frighten it, I bent down and picked up the cat. The cat protested loudly as I lifted it into the air, twisting and biting at my fingers with surprising strength. I was glad to see that it was so energetic—I hoped that meant it would be more likely to survive. Ignoring the kitten's protests, I carefully tucked it against my chest inside my coat to try and keep it warm. My ignorance made me anxious—I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't want to harm the poor creature. But, after another cry of protest, the cat became calm and went to sleep.
Paragraph 2:
My sister is a nurse, and therefore the family expert on caring for animals. I hurried to call and ask for her advice. She calmly and efficiently told me what to do as I hurried home, stopping briefly at a corner store to buy some supplies she insisted I would need. When I finally reached my apartment, I dried the soaked cat and fed it the food I had bought. The cat still looked at me with great suspicion, but the food seemed to be winning it over. As the cat once more fell asleep, now happy and warm, I smiled. After all perhaps I would not have a lonely vacation this year.
