T (Refer to Paragraph 9.)III. Answer the following questions.1.Food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo, determines not only one's physical healthbut also one's spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.2. Refer to Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. According to the author, many people in the West are gourmets and gluttons, while a large number of others are pretty indifferent to food. On the contrary, Fu Tong, a London restaurateur, maintains that to Chinese people food is of primary importance and is one of the ecstasies of life. Also, when they go to a restaurant, Westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aim to eat with a capital E, or take the food with the utmost earnest.3. Refer to Paragraph 5. Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world.

So important is a meal that it is not simply the product of a recipe; it expresses the basic assumptions of life, among which is harmony and balance.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1.Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: it is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, a great deal of time is devoted to enjoying it.2. The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: one is the increased desire for sensual pleasures (which is abundant in Chinese food) and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food, which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Structural analysis of the textParagraphs 7-9 constitute the third part of the text.Paragraph 7: The traditional quality Chinese meal is a serious matter, fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Paragraph 8: The enjoyment must match the preparation.Paragraph 9: The smooth harmonies and piquant contrasts in Chinese food are an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.Rhetorical features of the text1.

Columbus's crew was astonished to find the Arawaks puffing on huge cigars in Hispaniola, an island which is now divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.3. The cigars were made from Nicotiana tobacum, a hybrid of two wild plants first grown in Peru and Bolivia.4. This tobacco from Hispaniola was not the kind smoked by the other Indians of North America, habitual users of tobacco, also.5. This second and much more widely used kind of tobacco was Nicotiana rustica, a hybrid that is native only to the western slopes of the Andes.6. From here its cultivation and use spread into North America at about the same time as the cultivation of maize, a staple grain crop.7. Archaeologists find the first pipes among Indian artifacts at the level that they find the first evidence of maize cultivation, a fact which suggests that the Indians learned to smoke and to grow corn at the same time.8. This tobacco was so strong that the Algonkians mixed it with sumac leaves and the inner bark of the dogwood and called it kinnikinnik, a word meaning hat which ismixed.9. Most Indians favoured pipes, some ate tobacco leaves, some drank tobacco, and still others preferred cigarettes, shredded tobacco wrapped in corn husks.10. Drinking tobacco became popular in Elizabethan England after 1565, the year the leaf was first imported from the West Indies.III.

McArthurGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisThis article, which is written by a foreigner, provides us with a foreign perspective to examine our culture, though on a seemingly trivial aspect — our food. But all elements of a culture are actually of equal significance, so any of them can serve as a stand we set our first step on. If you haven’t started your journey to discover your own culture, then let yourself be pushed by this article and take it as your first step. At the end of this journey, you may either love your culture more, or less, but one thing is sure, that your feeling toward your culture will be more real and will be based upon a much broadened view.II. Structural AnalysisThis text can be divided into three parts:Paragraphs 1-4: The first part discusses the difference in Chinese and Western attitudes towards food.Paragraphs 5-6: The second part explains how Chinese food has become an international food.Paragraphs 7-9: The third part elaborates on the nature of Chinese food.The topic sentence of Paragraphs 7-9:Paragraph 7: The traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter, fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Paragraph 8: The enjoyment must match the preparation.Paragraph 9: The smooth harmonies and piquant contrasts in Chinese food are an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.Ⅲ. Rhetorical FeaturesIn this essay, alliteration is utilized here and there. Here are some examples: “Many people in the West are gourmets and others are g luttons, …”; “… to making you a saint or a s inner?”; “…everywhere from Hong Kong to Honolulu to Ho boken to Hudderfield.” The underlined parts show repetition of the first sound or letter of a succession of words, which helps to convey a sort of melodious quality, thus making those words sound more pleasing and impressive.Other examples of alliteration in the essay:1. “… all these have become much more a part and p arcel of the average person’s life…”(Paragraph 6)2. “Meat and fish, solids and soups, sweet and sour sauces, …” (Paragraph 8)Detailed ReadingQuestions1. How important is food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo? (Paragraph 1)Food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo, determines not only one’s physical health but also one’s spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.2. How do the Chinese and westerners differ in their attitudes towards food? (Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4)According to the author, many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons, while a large number of them are pretty indifferent to food. On the other hand, Fu Tong, a London restaurateur, maintains that food is of primary importance and one of the ecstasies of life. When they go to a restaurant, Westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aims to eat with a capital E, or take the food with the utmost earnest.3. Why does the author say that Chinese food is the only truly international food? (Paragraph 5)Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world. At the root of the phenomenal rise of Chinese food in the world, there is a strong interest in Chinese food in the West. There is an increase in the sensuality in the Western world and coincidentally, Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color, texture and taste.4. Why does the author compare a proper Chinese meal to a religious ceremony? (Paragraphs 7 and 8)For the Chinese people, the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter. It is fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed. Both the preparation and enjoyment of a Chinese meal can last hours and make a shared experience which is well planned. The meals must not only meet the challenge of the palate but also that of the eyes.5. How does Chinese food express the basic assumptions of life? (Paragraph 9)A good traditional Chinese meal must be well planned and balanced in order to meet thedemand of the palate and the eyes alike. So, according to Emily Hahn, there is moral excellence in good cooking, which implies the combination of all life, all action and all knowledge. So important is a meal that it does not mean the product of recipe itself; it express the basic assumption of life one of which is harmony and balance.Text IIChinese Food in AmericaCorinna LotharLead-in QuestionsWhat are the most popular Chinese dishes among foreign visitors as far as you know?

Notes1.About the author: Fortune Cookie Chronicles, subtitled Adventures in the Worldof Chinese Food, by Jennifer 8. Lee, a New York Times reporter for the Metro section.2.Jennifer 8. Lee (Paragraph 1) Jennifer 8. Lee was born in New York City andgraduated from Hunter College High School and Harvard College. She interned at The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Newsday and The New York Times while working on her applied mathematics and economics degree and writing for The Harvard Crimson. She joined the Times in 2001, one anda half years after graduating from Harvard. Lee was not given a middle name at birthand chose her own middle name later.She chose "8" as a teenager because of the prevalence of her first name.It was in her teen years that she also began a life-long obsession with food. For many Chinese, the number eight symbolizes prosperity and good luck. Lee wrote a book about the history of Chinese food in the USA and around the world, titled The Fortune Cookie Chronicles,documenting the process on her blog. Warner Books editor Jonathan Karp struck a deal with Lee to write a book about "how Chinese food is more all-American than apple pie."3.Powerball lottery (Paragraph 2) Powerball is an American lottery game soldthrough U.S. lotteries as a shared jackpot pool game. It is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a non-profit association formed by an agreement with member lotteries. Powerball is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays.4.General Tso's chicken (Paragraph 4) General Tso may refer to Zuo Zongtang (左宗棠, 1812-1885), a Qing Dynasty general from Hunan.. General Tso's chicken is a sweet and spicy deep-fried chicken dish that is popularly served in American and Canadian Chinese restaurants where it is erroneously considered Hunan cuisine.The origins of the dish are unclear. The dish was previously largely unknown in China. Thus, General Tso's Chicken is most likely an American invention in the history of American-Chinese food.5.Colonel Sanders(Paragraph 4) Colonel Harland Sanders, (1890-1980), was anAmerican entrepreneur who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). His image is omnipresent in the chain's advertising and packaging, and his name is sometimes used as a synonym for the KFC product or restaurant itself.6.“waves of Chinese continued to wash up on the shores”(Paragraph 7)Chinese immigrants arrived in the US in large numbers beginning with the mid-19th century worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad, and the mining industry, and suffered racial discrimination for a long time.7.The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882(Paragraph 7) The Chinese Exclusion Actwas a United States federal law passed on May 6, 1882, following revisions made in 1880 to the Burlingame Treaty of 1868. Those revisions allowed the U.S. to suspend immigration, and Congress subsequently acted quickly to implement the suspension of Chinese immigration, a ban that was intended to last 10 years.8.Szechuan (Paragraph 9) This is the Romanization of 四川using the Wade-Gilessystem rather than the Pinyin system, which renders it Sichuan.9.kosher ducks (Paragraph 10) The word “kosher” means proper or fit for Jews. Thisis because it relates to the kosher dietary law. They are safe to consume and sometimes used as ingredients to produce additional food items. Previously, most kosher foods were made in the family kitchen or in a store or small factory in the community. At that time, it was simple to know if the product was kosher or not.Sometimes, even rabbis used to supervise the purity of the product.Questions for Discussion1．How can the reader understand and enjoy “a delicious sense of humor and irony” of Jennifer 8. Lee ?2. Why do the stories Miss Lee gleaned and spread sound so convincing?3. What is one possible philosophical notion that helps to constitute the driving force in developing Chinese food in America?4. What is the fact used to tell the reader that Jews in America like Chinese food?Key to Questions for Discussion1. In her “Fortune Cookie Chronicles,” subtitled “Adventures in the World of Chinese Food,”Jennifer 8. Lee writes with humor and irony and “delights the reader with tales about Chinese food in America, and its sometimes hilarious origins”, which is really delicious. In addition, Miss Lee adds a social and cultural dimension to the Chinese-American cuisine, seasoning it well with personal anecdotes, which is also delicious. “A delicious sense of humor and irony” may be interpreted as a sort of “transferred epithet”.2. The stories Miss Lee gleaned and spread are not fairy-tales, fictitious or improbable stories, but true stories based on first hand experiences “over hill and dale, ocean and mountain,from town to village” throughout the United States, China, and Europe. That’s why they sound so convincing.3. One possible philosophical notion that helps to constitute the driving force in developing Chinese food in America is the strong desire to adapt and incorporate Chinese cooking, principally its indigenous ingredients and cooking techniques, to local tastes and ingredients.4. In Kaifeng, China, when asked why Jews in America were so fond of Chinese food, an old Jewish woman answered, “Because Chinese food tastes good.”Memorable QuotesTell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.—Anthelme Brillat-SavarinI do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to bestuffed.

McArthurGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisThis article, which is written by a foreigner, provides us with a foreign perspective to examine our culture, though on a seemingly trivial aspect ― our food. But all elements of a culture are actually of equal significance, soany of them can serve as a stand we set our first step on. If you haven’t started your journey to discover your own culture, then let yourself be pushed by this article and take it as your first step. At the end of this journey,you may either love your culture more, or less, but one thing is sure, thatyour feeling toward your culture will be more real and will be based upon a much broadened view.II. Structural AnalysisThis text can be divided into three parts:Paragraphs 1-4: The first part discusses the difference in Chinese and Western attitudestowards food.Paragraphs 5-6: The second part explains how Chinese food has become an international food.Paragraphs 7-9: The third part elaborates on the nature of Chinese food.The topic sentence of Paragraphs 7-9:Paragraph 7: The traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter, fastidiouslyprepared and fastidiously enjoyed.Paragraph 8: The enjoyment must match the preparation.Paragraph 9: The smooth harmonies and piquant contrasts in Chinese foodare an expression of basic assumptions about life itself.2Ⅲ. Rhetorical FeaturesIn this essay, alliteration is utilized here and there. Here are some examp les: “Many people in the West are gourmets and others are gluttons, …”; “… to making you a saint or a sinner?”; “… everywhere from Hong Kong toHonolulu to Hoboken to Hudderfield.” The underlined parts show repetition of the first sound or letter of a succession of words, which helps to convey asort of melodious quality, thus making those words sound more pleasing and impressive.Other examples of alliteration in the essay:1. “… all these have become much more a part and parcel of the average pers on’s life …”(Paragraph 6)2. “Meat and fish, solids and soups, sweet and sour sauces, …” (Paragraph 8)Detailed ReadingQuestions1. How important is food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo? (Paragraph 1)Food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo, determines not only one’s physical health but also one’s spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.2. How do the Chinese and westerners differ in their attitudes towards food? (Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4)According to the author, many people in the West are gourmets and othersare gluttons, while a large number of them are pretty indifferent to food. On the other hand, Fu Tong, a London restaurateur, maintains that food is of primary importance and one of the ecstasies of life. When they go to a restaurant, Westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aims to eat with a capital E, or take the food with the utmost earnest.3. Why does the author say that Chinese food is the only trulyinternational food? (Paragraph 5)Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants have sprung up almost everywhere in the world. At the root of the phenomenal rise of Chinese food in the world, there is a strong interest in Chinese food in the West. There is an increase in the sensuality in the Western world and coincidentally, Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color, texture and taste.4. Why does the author compare a proper Chinese meal to a religious ceremony? (Paragraphs 7 and 8)For the Chinese people, the traditional high-quality Chinese meal is a serious matter. It is fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed. Both the preparation and enjoyment of a Chinese meal can last hours and make a shared experience which is well planned. The meals must not only meet the challenge of the palate but also that of the eyes. 5. How does Chinese food express the basic assumptions of life? (Paragraph 9)A good traditional Chinese meal must be well planned and balanced in order to meet the demand of the palate and the eyes alike. So, according to Emily Hahn, there is moral excellence in good cooking, which implies the combination of all life, all action and all knowledge. So important is a meal that it does not mean the product of recipe itself; it express the basic assumption of life one of which is harmony and balance.Text II3Chinese Food in AmericaCorinna LotharLead-in QuestionsWhat are the most popular Chinese dishes among foreign visitors as far as you know?
