22、 San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who was a pioneer of Chinese cuisine in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang, who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although She wasn’t shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other difficulties. Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didn’t have to be Thursday’s cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her.
“Most Americans; including American-born Chinese, they didn’t know about Chinese food,” Chiang explained in an interview with CNN Travel in 2018. Never having been to China, they needed to be educated on the difference. The year was 1961, and Chiang insisted on snowing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The restaurant’s wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics (美学).
The Mandarin, which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square, wasn’t like other Chinese restaurants. “Is this a Chinese restaurant?” Chiang said people asked her all the, time. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mein, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early brushes with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
Not only was Chiang a woman trying to run a restaurant in a male-controlled industry, but She was also attempting to educate diners. Changing people’s minds was complicated. And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare to the Mandarin.
【1】What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph?
A.Chiang had to give up her job.
B.Chiang refused to be involved.
C.Chiang faced a challenging task.
D.Chiang achieved her aim with ease.
【2】What strategy did Chiang take to upgrade the Mandarin?
A.Taking full advantage of her family background.
B.Combining dining experience with Chinese culture.
C.Including two standard Chinese dishes on the menu.
D.Expanding the Mandarin business in different areas.
【3】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To remember Cecilia Chiang and her contributions.
B.To introduce the Mandarin started by Cecilia Chiang.
C.To promote Chinese cuisine culture in the USA.
D.To change people’s minds toward Chinese restaurants.
【4】Which words can best describe Cecilia Chiang?
A.Daring and generous. B.Capable and artistic.
C.Ambitious and grateful. D.Noble and caring.
23、Social media has completely taken over everyday life, affecting how society runs and changing individuals in ways that even they can feel. While social media can act as a platform for people to express themselves, it can also be overwhelming, especially for high school teens.
To teenager Bryson Lan, deleting social media helped eliminate a significant distraction in his routine and keep up with teachers. “I was scrolling (滚动) through social networking sites so much,” Lan said. “I was also starting to struggle since I entered my high school year. When school started, I was super overwhelmed (不知所措的), and I was just not ready for it.
Most teenagers fear that by eliminating these apps, they will miss out on connections with their peers and feel a significant loss to their social life. However, Lan found he didn’t miss anything during his time without social media.
Another problem with social media is the amount of “junk content” posted. People are regularly posting and updating on social media, and much of the content has no meaning to other viewers and is ultimately a time suck.
However, social media isn’t all negative. Social media can be a place to develop passions and boost creativity. For example, Lan found his interest in photography blossom after seeing works from other photographers on social media. “Social media is a good place where you can have a portfolio (作品集) or upload your works,” Lan said. “A lot of people have photography accounts or art accounts. In some ways, I think it actually furthers your hobby.”
The vast audience that social media can reach brings convenience and effectiveness in the spread of art. Although some people might be discouraged by other artists’ impressive works, Lan is inspired to produce better photographs.
“Thanks to this revolutionary development of social media, we can enjoy a world where everyone is closer than before,” Lan said. “But we also need to have the skills to make good use of social media, and that depends on each person’s efforts.”
【1】What did getting rid of social media bring Lan?
A.More distractions.
B.Confusion about life.
C.A smaller social circle.
D.More attention on his studies.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “a time suck” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.A waste of time.
B.A timetable.
C.A lack of time.
D.A time switch.
【3】What’s Lan’s attitude towards social media?
A.Doubtful.
B.Unclear.
C.Objective.
D.Supportive.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Most teenagers’ opinions on social media.
B.The effects social media has on teenagers.
C.Innovative development of social media.
D.The problems social media brings people.
