Sushi is a kind of food made with a mixture of cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and rice. Although Sushi is most commonly considered to have its origin in Japan, it actually began in China during the 7th Century.

At that time, any fish caught had to be preserved. Raw fish was cleaned and then pressed between layers of heavy salt. After a couple of months, the whole process was complete. Over time, a discovery was made that by rolling the fish in rice that had been soaked in vinegar the fish was easily fermented (发酵) in a few days rather than months. The rice was then thrown away and the fish was eaten. However, with a food shortage, people began consuming the rice as well as the fish and thus, Sushi today as we know was born. However, in the 1800s, a famous chef by the name of Yohei created two styles of Sushi—one called Edo, and the second, Osaka, for two cities.

Sushi is usually consumed with hot green tea. Also, Gari is offered free and eaten between bites to create a better taste. Two kinds of sauce are usually available: one is soy sauce, which is poured on most kinds of Sushi; the other is a thick sweet sauce used on eel (鳗鱼).

Sushi has taken the world by storm and today is a multi-billion dollar industry. Its popularity continues to rise because people are looking for healthy food that is quick and easy to make. With such unbelievable popularity as well as the health benefits of eating Sushi, it is likely that this food will continue to be a part of everyday life for many more centuries to come.

54. Two kinds of Sushi, Edo and Osaka, were probably named after _______.

A. the chef’s name     B. their birthplaces  

C. the name of fish    D. some kinds of food

55. When people eat Sushi, Gari is used to _______.

A. keep Sushi last long        B. make green tea better

C. digest Sushi more quickly   D. make Sushi more delicious

56. Why do people like Sushi today?

A. It is cheap and delicious.          B. It is served with free Gari.

C. It is beneficial to people’s health.   D. It is easy to be kept for a long time.

57. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Delicious Sushi and Its Origin   B. How to Make Delicious Sushi

C. Yohei and Two Styles of Sushi   D. The Birthplace of Sushi—China

What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and other convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that housework. Instead, many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meals. It’s easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long , hard day. Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.
Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break in the daily outline, and the outlay of money seems small. It can be eaten in the car--- sometimes picked up at a drive-in window without even getting out---or on the run. Even if it is brought home to eat, there will never be any dirty dishes to wash because of the handy disposable (一次性的) wrappings. Children, especially, love fast food because it’s finger food, no struggling with knives and forks, no annoying instructions from adults about table manner.
【小题1】Americans enjoy fast food mainly because __________.

A.it can be eaten in the car
B.it is much more tasty than home-made food
C.one only uses his fingers while eating it
D.it is time-saving and convenient
【小题2】It can be inferred that children __________.
A.want to have more freedom at table
B.never wash dishes after each meal
C.are good at using forks and knives while eating
D.take eating time as a fun break
【小题3】 Many Americans are eating out and not cooking at home partially because __________.
A.they want to make a change after eating the same food for years at home
B.the food made outside home tastes better than food cooked at home
C.many of them live alone and don’t like taking trouble to cook
D.American women refuse to cook at home due to women’s liberation movement
【小题4】According to the text, a drive-in window is a __________.
A.car window from which you can see the driver
B.window in the restaurant from which you get your takeout in the car
C.place where you check the mechanic condition of your car
D.place where you return the used plates after eating

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach(菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid(叶酸).

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.   

1.A good title for this reading passage is______.

A.Popeye the Sailor

B.The Truth About Spinach

A.They thought spinach made them strong.
