22、Tempeh, a traditional soy product from Indonesia, is hailed as the country’s “gift to the world,” like kimchi from Korea or miso from Japan.
A stable, cheap source of protein in Indonesia for centuries, tempeh is a fermented (发酵的) food originating from the island of Java. It was discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew certain whitish fungi around it. When this fermented residue (残渣) was found to be edible and tasty, people began producing it at home for daily consumption across the country. This has given rise to many variations in its flavor and texture throughout different Indonesian regions.
Tempeh is high in protein and low in fat, and contains a host of vitamins. In fact, it is the only reported plant-based source of vitamin B12. Apart from being able to help reduce cholesterol (胆固醇), increase bone density, and promote muscle recovery, tempeh has a lot of polyphenols that protect skin cells and slow down the aging process. Best of all, with the same protein quality as meat and the ability to take on many flavors and textures, tempeh is a great meat substitute —something the vegetarian and vegan communities have been quick in adopting.
In addition to its highly nutritional makeup, tempeh has diverse preparation possibilities. It can be served as a main course (usually in curries) or a side dish to be eaten with rice, as a deep-fried snack, or even blended into smoothies and healthy juices. Though not yet a popular food among international diners, you may find tempeh-substituted BLTs (bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches) in San Francisco as easily as you can find vegetarian burgers with tempeh patties in Bali.
For the people of Indonesia, tempeh is not just food but also has cultural value. With the Indonesian traditional fabric batik (蜡染) being recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” tempeh has great potential for this honor as well.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true about tempeh?
A．It is mainly served as a side dish.

A．Origin→nutrition→cuisine.

C．Cuisine→nutrition→marketing.
D．Distribution→cuisine→nutrition.
【3】Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?
A．Senior citizens will eat tempeh as vitamin supplement.
B．Tempeh will soon be more popular than kimchi or miso.
C．The nutrition of tempeh will be reduced with mass production.
D．Tempeh is likely to be recognized as an international cultural symbol.
【4】Which of the followings can be a suitable title of this passage?
A．Do You Know How Tempeh Is Made?

23、Best Science Books of 2017
At its heart, science is about curiosity. So it stands to reason these books about science should make you examine your world more closely, and in doing so, give you a sense of wonder.
Big Chicken, by Maryn McKenna
Investigative journalist Maryn McKenna uses the modern industrial chicken as a window into how antibiotics(抗生素) transformed modern agriculture—for good and ill. She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, causing serious problems from antibiotic resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, McKenna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.
Why Time Flies, by Alan Burdick
New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One is the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds. But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.
Paleoart, by Zoe Lescaze
Dinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of scientists and artists alike, and Paleoart brings those visions together in a blend of human knowledge and creativity.
These images not only show our changing understanding of dinosaurs, but also reflect the distinct artistic sensibilities of their time. Both artistic and educational, these pictures are certainly influential.
What It’s Like to Be a Dog, by Gregory Berns

24、 Everybody knows that Coca-Cola is red, and Starbucks is green. 【1】 What we may not be aware of is the science behind these companies’ choices of these colors.
Color psychology is the study of how colors affect people’s mood, behavior, and decision-making. Companies use color psychology when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to persuade us to buy.【2】
【3】 For example, it’s no accident that many tech products use white; it’s simple, stylish, and clean. Meanwhile, cosmetics companies tend to go for purple, black, or pink colors that represent passion, luxury, and romance.
Companies often choose action colors that urge you to buy right now. Red, for instance, is a high-energy, exciting color that moves people to action. Yellow is the color of summer, and it’s bright and attention-grabbing.【4】
【5】 Studies show that consumers prefer brands that they recognize. Thus, those with an established color scheme, such as LEGO or Facebook, are likely to perform more strongly on the market.
All this goes to show that successful companies have mastered the art of color psychology. It may seem trivial, but their choice of colors has a profound effect on the spending habits of consumers.
A .Based on this, companies create fancy names for colors to make them sound special.
B. In fact, studies have shown that around 90 percent of people base their spending choices on color and appearance.
C. It’s no wonder that McDonald’s decided to use these two colors for its branding.
D. Chances are that most of us can name companies and their respective brand colors.
E. In fact, most major companies are associated with certain specific colors.
F. Because of this, companies use colors to influence how we feel about their products.
G. This is why, for example, Estée Lauder uses names like “passion fruit” and “hot rocket” for its lipsticks.
