21、Scientists have uncovered a fast-food eatery in the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. The remains help with the understanding of foods of Pompeii’s citizens.
About 80 such fast-food eateries have been found at Pompeii. But the latest find means this is the first time such a hot-food-drink eatery – known as a thermopolium – has been completely unearthed. Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Part of the fast-food counter was dug up in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeii’s ruins.
Since then, archaeologists (考古学家) have kept digging, uncovering a multi-sided-counter, with typical wide holes on its top, not unlike these for soup containers put into modern-day salad bars. The front of the counter included works of art showing ducks and chickens. The images brightened the eatery and also likely advertised food. Another image of a dog with a rope around its neck may remind people to keep pets tied up.
Early studies confirm “how the painted works represent, at least in part, the foods and drinks effectively sold inside”, said Valeria Amoretti, an anthropologist at Pompeii. Amoretti noted small pieces of duck bones were found in a food container. Remains of goats, pigs, and fish also were found. At the bottom of a wine container were remains of ground fava beans.
Massimo Osanna added, “We know what they were eating that day.” He was talking about the day of Pompeii destruction. The food remains are examples of “what’s popular with the common folk”. He added that wealthy Romans did not eat at such street-food businesses. Successful restaurant owners know that a good location is important for business. Osanna noted that right outside the eatery was a small square with a fountain. Another thermopolium was nearby.
【1】What can we know about the fast-food eatery?
A．It was the only thermopolium at Pompeii.
B．It was dug up by accident at the beginning.
C．It once was one of the most popular eateries.
D．It was the first hot-food-drink eatery unearthed.
【2】Why were there wide holes on the countertop?
A．They helped to beautify the countertop area.
B．The volcanic eruption damaged the counter.
C．They were used to hold containers for hot food.
D．Food could be stored for a longer time with them.
【3】What did the painted images probably serve as according to Amoretti?
A．Menus.
B．Reminders.
C．Decorations.
D．Advertisements.
【4】What do Osanna’s words imply?
A．The eatery reveals the local’s dining preference.
B．Ancient Romans liked eating at eateries.
C．Street-food business was rare in ancient Rome.
D．Food of Pompeii’s citizens was similar to today’s.
22、Elderly women who eat foods higher in potassium（钾）are less likely to have strokes and die than women who eat less potassium-rich foods, according to new research in the American Heart Association. “Previous studies have shown that potassium consumption may lower blood pressure. But whether potassium intake could prevent stroke or death wasn’t clear,” said Smoller, professor of the department of population health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.
Researchers studied 90,137 women, aged from 50 to 79 for an average 11 years. They looked at how much potassium the women consumed, as well as if they had strokes, including ischemic strokes (缺血性中风), or died during the study period. Women in the study were stroke-free at the start and their average dietary potassium intake was 2,611 mg/day. Results of this study are based on potassium from food, not supplements.
The researchers found: Women who ate the most potassium were 12 percent less likely to suffer stroke in general and 16 percent less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke than women who ate the least. Women who ate the most potassium were 10 percent less likely to die than those who ate the least. Among women who did not have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 27 percent lower ischemic stroke risk and 21 percent reduced risk for all stroke types, compared to women who ate the least potassium in their daily diets. Among women with high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a lower risk of death, but potassium intake did not lower their stroke risk.
“Our findings suggest that women need to eat more potassium-rich foods. You won’t find high potassium in junk food. Some foods rich in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans.”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that women eat at least 4,700 mg of potassium daily. “Only 2.8 percent of women in our study met or went beyond this level. The World Health Organization’s daily potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3,510 mg or more. Still, only 16.6 percent of women we studied met or went beyond that,” said Smoller.
While increasing potassium intake is probably a good idea for most elderly women, there are some people who have too much potassium in their blood, which can be dangerous to the heart. “People should check with their doctor about how much potassium they should eat,” she said.
The study was observational and included only elderly women. Researchers also did not take sodium (钠) intake into consideration, so the potential importance of a balance between sodium and potassium is not among the findings. Researchers said more studies are needed to determine whether potassium has the same effects on men and younger people.
【1】The benefits of potassium intake to elderly women do not include ______.
A. preventing strokes B. lowering blood pressure
C. cutting down death risks D. reducing heart attacks
【2】Which of the following figure meets the daily potassium intake recommendation of the World Health Organization?
A. 2,500 mg. B. 3,000 mg.
C. 3,500 mg. D. 4,000 mg.
【3】What conclusion can be drawn from the research findings?
A. Increasing potassium is definitely a good idea for all elderly women.
B. Potassium intake is more beneficial to those without high blood pressure.
C. Elderly women with high blood pressure benefit more from potassium.
D. There was not any association between potassium intake and ischemic strokes.
23、Can’t-miss attractions along the China-Laos railway: China section
The China-Laos railway, an over-1,000-kilometer-long cross-border railway connecting the city of Kunming in Southwest China’s Yunnan province with the capital of Laos, Vientiane, is set to be inaugurated in December, which will link destinations worthy of a visit along the way. Check out some of the can’t-miss destinations along the Chinese section of the railway.
Fuxian Lake in Yuxi
Just 30 minutes from Kunming, the city of Yuxi is home to Fuxian Lake, China’s largest deep-water lake sitting on a plateau. Famous Chinese travel writer Xu Xiake (1587 — 1641) once paid a visit and wrote about its pristine water. What makes the lake more mysterious is the possibility that an ancient city lived under its quiet and calm surface.
Sun-River National Park in Pu’er
The word “Pu’er” may remind many of the renowned tea from Yunnan Province, but it is also the name of a city. Not surprisingly, it is one of the country’s major Pu’er tea producing areas. Back in ancient China, the region served as an important stop along the Tea Horse Road, a trade route linking Yunnan and Southwest China’s Tibet autonomous region.
Wild Elephant Valley in Xishuangbanna
A group of wandering Asian elephants in Yunnan grabbed headlines this year when it set off on a rare 500-kilometer trek from Xishuangbanna, a major habitat for wild elephants in China. For those wishing to interact with the giant creatures themselves, the Wild Elephant Valley is a must-visit.
