But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. That’sbecause penguins can’t actually taste the delicious flavors (味道) of their favoritefood–fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组) offive species of penguins. They found that not one can taste umami (鲜味), the flavor of meat or fish, the BBCreported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour (酸), salty, bitter (苦) and umami. But according to genetic(遗传的) data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists don’t have a good explanation (解释) for them.But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesn’t work in cold temperatures. “It’s about zero degrees when they eatcold fish,” Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional (功能的) gene, it might not work when they needed it.Plus, penguins’ tongues are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead ofbeing covered with taste buds (味蕾) which help to taste food, penguins’ tongues are extremely spiky (钉子似的). This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that sometypes of penguins don’t even have taste buds.However, penguins seem to be managing just fine.“Their behavior of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguinsneed no taste perception (感知能力),” said Zhang.children love, and delicious dishes like sour and spicy shredded potatoes (酸辣土豆丝). And now they are becoming more important in the Chinese diet.A program to add potatoes to China’s list of food staples (主食), joining rice, wheat and corn, will improve the Chinese menu and meet growing food demands, the Ministry of Agriculture said at a meeting on Jan 6.Potato starch (淀粉) will first be mixed into bread, steamed buns andnoodles to suit Chinese tastes. Then it will be made into potato cakes, cookies and zongzi. By 2020, the land used for growing potatoes will have increased from the current 5 million hectares (公顷) to 10 million, and 50 percent of the potatoes produced in China will be eaten here as a staple.The move comes at a time when China faces challenges in food security and nutrition (营养). China is home to 21 percent of the world’s population, more than 100 million of whom do not have proper nutrition, according to China Daily.As an environmentally friendly crop, potatoes are a food that can make the grain (谷物) supply (供应) safer while harming the environment less. Potatoes need less water to grow, can grow better in dry weather, and grow well on barren (贫瘠的) land. Also, potato flour can be stored for over 15 years, compared with 1 year for rice and 3 years for wheat, said Beijing News.But the real value of potatoes comes from nutrition. Called “the second bread”, potatoes contain most of the vitamins people need.“Potatoes are low in fat and calories, but have high-quality protein (蛋白质). These are what people are looking for in a healthy diet,” Liu Shaowei, professor at East China University of Science and Technology, told the Shanghai Morning Post.However, Chinese people have not yet accepted potatoes as a staple food. According to an online survey done by Foshan Daily in January, more than 90 percent of respondents (受调查者) didn’t treat potatoes as a staple. That’s because traditional Chinese cooking uses boiling and steaming a lot when it comes to grain, while potatoes are cooked differently. But potatoes are popular in cultures worldwide.One typical potato dish in Ireland is the boxty pancake. It contains mashed (捣碎的) and grated (搓碎的) potatoes, making it part pancake, part hash brown (煎土豆饼). People in the UK like jacket potatoes, which are baked potatoes with vegetables and cheese on top. In the US, French fries and hash browns are often found in American fast food chains (连锁店) and cafeterias. 1._____________ 2._______________ 3.______________ 4.______________ 5._____________6._____________7._______________8.______________9.______________ 10._____________四、短文填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Give happiness to feel it backOnce a group of 50 people was attending a seminar (研讨会). Halfway through his talk, the speaker s 1 and decided to create a group activity. He wentaround the hall and gave each person a balloon (气球). Each one was asked to writehis or her n 2 on the balloon using a marker pen. Then all the balloonswere collected and put in a 3 room.The speaker then led the group to the room f 4 of balloons and asked them to find the balloon which had their name written on, within five minutes. E 5 was hurriedly searching for their name, bumping (碰撞) into each other, pushing each other around. It was chaos (混乱).At the end of the five m 6 no one could find their own balloon.Now each person was asked to randomly (随便地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.Within two minutes everyone had their o 7 balloon. When everyone quieted down, the speaker began to t 8 , saying that this is exactly what was happening in our lives. Everyone is hurriedly l 9for happiness, and not knowing where it is.Our h 10 sometimes lies in the happiness of other people.
