A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of
questions. One of the questions is: Do you enjoy foreign food? Match the name of each person to one of the statements given below.
56. John Harvey:
In fact if you go out to a restaurant, it’s very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying “new dishes.” I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food.
57. Jo Baker:
I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that’s just part of the enjoyment of travelling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food.
58. Gabby Macadam:
On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply can’t stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce.
59. Len Dangerfield:
When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I’m abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I’m used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it’s always difficult to get used to food in other countries.
60. Peter Hawke:
I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I’m married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I’m so lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and spicier than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I’m concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied.
A. Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same.
B. I can’t stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I’m not so sure that I’m fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind sauce.
C. I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day, traditional English food is always my first choice.
D. Foreign dishes can be tasted occasionally, but I find it difficult to adjust to the tastes. So I still prefer English food.
E. I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from what they eat.
F. English people should learn to cook more attractive dishes and make their food more delicious and varied.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had 41 _ a beautiful sports car in a showroom, and knowing his father could well 42 it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 43 that his father had bought the car. 44 , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his 45 study room. His father told him how 46 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 47 he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped (包裝) 48 box.
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and 49 a lovely, leather-bound (皮紙封面) Bible, 50 the young man’s name pressed in gold. 51 , he raised his voice to his father, and said “With 52 your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in 53 . He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very 54 , and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him 55 that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram 56 his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and 57 things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden 58 and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible 59 as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the 60 . It had a tag (標(biāo)簽) with the date of his graduation on it, and the words PAID IN FULL.

Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain（徒勞的） search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it filled him with sadness.
Wherever he went to Cuba（古巴）, Puerto Rico（波多黎各）, Jamaica（牙買加）, South America, Panama（巴拿馬）, down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs.
When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493, he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe（兇狠的印第安部落） who literally devoured（吞食） its defeated enemies after a battle. These people were called by many names in the area, including Calina, Canima, Carib, and Caniba. Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish, a word which came to refer, within a few years, to any eater of human flesh（食人部落, 食人族）. In the similar fashion, the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region, came into English.
At times Columbus knew that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.

A. sailed to find new lands for the king
B. sailed to find a water route round the world
C. sailed to establish trading ports
D. named the Caribbean which literally means any eater of human flesh
59. Columbus thought that _______.
A. others had sailed to Asia before him
B. it was impossible to sail to Asia
C. the land he had found was not China or Japan
D. the geographers knew about the land he had found

A. Columbus never realized the full meaning of his discovery
B. Columbus was disappointed with his voyages
C. there was no way to reach Asia from Europe at that time
D. Columbus found exactly what he had intended to
