There are two kinds of people:those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over,and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However,both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature.Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F.Potentially harmful bacteria grow most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone.Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F.This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However,there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to.If you are a forgetful person,or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough,go ahead and put it in the fridge.Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours.Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon,nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training programme.“In fact,the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge,the better.”

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less.
“Plate size doesn’t matter as much as we think it does,” says Dr.Tzvi Ganel,head of the study in a media release.“Even if you’re hungry and haven’t eaten,or are trying to cut back on portions,a serving looks similar whether it fills a smaller plate or is surrounded by empty space on a larger one.”
Some dieters may try eating off smaller plates,hoping that they will feel full because the serving size appears larger on the smaller plate.This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef illusion (错觉),which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the circle to be smaller than when the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.
Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with visual perception of food portions.In the experiment,participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions that were placed on larger versus smaller trays.But participants who had not eaten for at least three hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly.
The authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes.Both groups of participants performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps (轮毂盖) placed inside different sized circles.Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our ability to analyse and process what we are seeing.
“Over the last decade,restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias (偏差) that it will reduce food consumption,” says Ganel.“This study debunks that view.When people are hungry,especially when dieting,they are less likely to be fooled by the plate size,more likely to realise they are eating less and more ready to overeat later.”
So don’t kid yourself.Put away the barbecue plates and give them three hours.Then grab that giant plate and dig in.Your eyes will choose the right size.

“Gluten-free (无谷蛋白),lactose (乳糖) free,vegan...” These ideas on diet might sound unfamiliar to many in China.That’s why Wang opened a special ice cream store in Beijing’s Sanlitun to spread a healthier way to enjoy ice cream.
“My friends and I love ice cream,but we’ve never encountered an ice cream that really ‘wows’ us,” Wang said.Then one day she heard her mum say that she had the best ice cream of her life at a café in a little town in Germany.“I immediately wanted to go there and try it for myself,” she added.
Lucky for her,during her summer holiday,Wang was able to go to the town and work as a waitress in the café selling ice cream.“I not only got to taste it myself,but also learnt about the healthy idea.In China,where many people are lactose intolerant (乳糖不耐受) or vegan,finding suitable ice cream is challenging due to the common use of milk and eggs.” So,Wang decided to bring this ice cream back to China to be enjoyed by even more people.
At the time,that kind of ice cream was only sold to cafés and hotels in Germany.But after discussions with the management,Wang not only gained the right to sell the ice cream but also opened a physical store in China.
Wang believes that starting a business begins with something small and is a step-by-step process.“I think business is about noticing problems around you and working out ways to solve them.” Wang said.

[D]Because she wanted to promote a healthier way to enjoy ice cream in China.

【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段王所说的话可知,她想在中国推广一种更健康的享用冰淇淋的方式,因此在北京开冰淇淋店。故选D。
(　　)3.Which of the following words can best describe Wang
[A]Business-minded.
[B]Easy-going.
[C]Well-mannered.
[D]High-spirited.
【答案】 A

(　　)4.What’s the main idea of the text
[A]A teenager called on people to eat healthy food.
[B]A Chinese girl started her own ice cream business.
[C]Bringing German food to China faced great challenges.

【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了预制菜的优缺点。
1.【答案】 popularity
【解析】 考查名词。根据空前的动词gaining可知,设空处应该用popular的名词形式作宾语。故填popularity。
2.【答案】 advantages
【解析】 考查名词复数。根据空前的One of the可知,设空处应用名词复数形式。故填advantages。
3.【答案】 be placed
【解析】 考查被动语态。动词place与句子的主语Pre-made dishes之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,空前有can,设空处应用动词原形。故填be placed。
4.【答案】 which/that
【解析】 考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句,对先行词dishes进行限定说明,从句中缺少主语,所以应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
5.【答案】 However
【解析】 考查副词。上文的内容是说预制菜的优点,而空后的内容是说人们的担忧以及预制菜的缺点,所以上下文是转折关系,设空处应用表示转折的副词however。单词位于句首,首字母应大写。故填However。
6.【答案】 in
【解析】 考查介词。be high in意为“富含......”,是固定搭配。故填in。

9.【答案】 exactly
【解析】 考查副词。设空处修饰动词know,应用副词exactly作状语。故填exactly。
10.【答案】 a
【解析】 考查冠词。根据空后的单数名词choice可知,设空处应用不定冠词,wise的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。Unit 1　课时作业(四)

　　One possible version:
Dear Linda,
Hearing you are interested in Chinese food,I’d like to recommend a well-known dish—steamed fish to you.
When I first visited a relative’s house,I fell in love with the delicious steamed fish.Its meat is very tasty.It is a fresh whole fish steamed to a tender texture and then drizzled in light soy sauce along with aromatics like scallions and ginger,which is suitable for both the young and the old.No matter what fish you use,make sure it’s as fresh as possible.The freshness of the fish contributes the most to the success of it.
I would like to extend my sincere welcome to you to pay a visit to China,during which I will show you around.Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

“Gluten-free (无谷蛋白),lactose (乳糖) free,vegan...” These ideas on diet might sound unfamiliar to many in China.That’s why Wang opened a special ice cream store in Beijing’s Sanlitun to spread a healthier way to enjoy ice cream.
“My friends and I love ice cream,but we’ve never encountered an ice cream that really ‘wows’ us,” Wang said.Then one day she heard her mum say that she had the best ice cream of her life at a café in a little town in Germany.“I immediately wanted to go there and try it for myself,” she added.
Lucky for her,during her summer holiday,Wang was able to go to the town and work as a waitress in the café selling ice cream.“I not only got to taste it myself,but also learnt about the healthy idea.In China,where many people are lactose intolerant (乳糖不耐受) or vegan,finding suitable ice cream is challenging due to the common use of milk and eggs.” So,Wang decided to bring this ice cream back to China to be enjoyed by even more people.
At the time,that kind of ice cream was only sold to cafés and hotels in Germany.But after discussions with the management,Wang not only gained the right to sell the ice cream but also opened a physical store in China.
Wang believes that starting a business begins with something small and is a step-by-step process.“I think business is about noticing problems around you and working out ways to solve them.” Wang said.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个中国女孩因喜欢健康饮食,将德国的一款特别冰淇淋引进中国,并开了一家冰淇淋店,旨在为人们提供更健康的冰淇淋选择。

[A]From her mother.
[B]In the café.
[C]From her friend.
[D]From the Internet.
(　　)2.Why did Wang open the ice cream store in Beijing
[A]Because she wanted to provide a place for friends to hang out.
[B]Because she was trying to promote traditional Chinese ice cream flavours.
[C]Because she wanted to solve the problem of lactose intolerance in China.
[D]Because she wanted to promote a healthier way to enjoy ice cream in China.
(　　)3.Which of the following words can best describe Wang
[A]Business-minded.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less.
“Plate size doesn’t matter as much as we think it does,” says Dr.Tzvi Ganel,head of the study in a media release.“Even if you’re hungry and haven’t eaten,or are trying to cut back on portions,a serving looks similar whether it fills a smaller plate or is surrounded by empty space on a larger one.”
Some dieters may try eating off smaller plates,hoping that they will feel full because the serving size appears larger on the smaller plate.This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef illusion (错觉),which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the circle to be smaller than when the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.
Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with visual perception of food portions.In the experiment,participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions that were placed on larger versus smaller trays.But participants who had not eaten for at least three hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly.
The authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes.Both groups of participants performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps (轮毂盖) placed inside different sized circles.Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our ability to analyse and process what we are seeing.
“Over the last decade,restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias (偏差) that it will reduce food consumption,” says Ganel.“This study debunks that view.When people are hungry,especially when dieting,they are less likely to be fooled by the plate size,more likely to realise they are eating less and more ready to overeat later.”
So don’t kid yourself.Put away the barbecue plates and give them three hours.Then grab that giant plate and dig in.Your eyes will choose the right size.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。研究发现用小盘盛食物的节食策略并不一定会使我们少吃。
(　　)1.Why do some dieters switch to smaller dishes
[A]To seek an elegant lifestyle.
[B]To measure the serving size.
[C]To have the impression of being full.
[D]To see whether Delbouef illusion is true.
(　　)2.What helps to judge food sizes accurately
[A]The black colour.
[B]The size of circles.
[C]The strong need for food.
[D]The delicious taste of food.
(　　)3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “debunks” in Paragraph 6
[A]Disapproves. [B]Confirms.
[C]Reflects. [D]Discovers.
(　　)4.What does the text mainly tell us
[A]Dieting requires smaller plates.
[B]Your dinner plate affects your weight.
[C]Eating less is a popular dieting practice.
[D]Smaller plates won’t lead to less eating.
