Unit 1 Food for thought食物是家的味道，是故乡的颜色，把故土乡情融入食物中，把家的味道带给世界。
I was born and grew up in Sichuan. Hot pot is an importantpart of my life. However, when I went to the UK, I found thatit was expensive to have hot pot in town (more than 100 yuanper person, without drinks), while the locals know nothingabout hot pot. They don’t even know that lotus root(莲藕) is a vegetable.So I came up with an idea. It was to invite some international friends to a hot pot dinner. The dinner helped me to spread our culture such as the obsession(喜爱) of Sichuan people with spicy(辛辣的) food and Chinese table manners. It also gave me an opportunity to make friends.I first showed my talent for cooking for my best friend, a German girl. I took my rice cooker, the container(容器) that I used to make hot pot.My friend took out her gift—a couple of Chinese bowls—and she told me that this would be the first time she had used them. She had different kinds of vinegar but not the Chinese kind. Since we didn’t have any, we replaced(代替) it with another kind. The taste was even better.Her mom tried a piece of lotus root. I can still remember her face when she put it into her mouth—she was doubtful about it. But it was a wonderful hot pot night.When you go to a foreign country, a good way to make more friends is to introduce your own culture through something special, like food. This will attract more friends and you will get pleasure from it.Section ⅠStarting out & Understanding ideasⅠRead the text and fill in the blanks.Brief introduction↓The child, a mixedblood boy, 1.________ the food from both Britain and China.Chinese food↓•Mum has 2.________ memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan.•Dad has come to love hot pot, but 3.________ not try some dishes.•The child enjoys eating things like pigs’ ears.Britain food↓•Dad can cook not only a 4.________“full English breakfast” but also a typical Sunday roast.•They all love roast beef and vegetables.A kind of Chinese food↓The child came across stinky tofu.He thinks maybe he’ll fall in love with it someday.Opinions about the food from the two countries↓The child feels at home with food from both his cultures.答案：1.enjoys 2.sweet 3.dare 4.superⅡRead the text carefully and choose the best answer according to the text.1．From the second paragraph, we can learn that________.A．my dad loves all the Chinese dishes after many years of marriageB．my dad has been used to eating chicken feetC．Chinese can make dishes using every part of an animalD．my grandparents felt surprised when they saw my father for the first time 2．When I asked the butcher if they had pigs’ears, the butcher felt________.A．unbelievable B．indifferentC．puzzled D．ignorant3．Which is the thing all my family enjoy?A．Pigs’ ears.B．Roast beef and vegetables.C．Stinky tofu.D．Blue cheese.4．What’s the meaning of “one man’s meat is another man’s poison” in the last paragraph?A．You are not sure to enjoy what others eat.B．If one man eats others’ meal, he will get poisoned.C．It’s dangerous for one man to try others’ meal.D．What suits one may not suit another.答案：1－4.CABDthanks to幸亏；由于；因为(教材P2)Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot!多亏了这个，爸爸才渐渐喜欢上了火锅！because of 因为；由于as a result of 作为……的结果；由于①Thanks to their selfless support, we have made such achievements.多亏了他们无私的支持，我们才取得了这样的成就。
