高等院校研究生英语系列教材 综合教程（上） INTEGRATED COURSE 2 UNIT 2 ART OF THE TABLE Content Starting out Reading Focus Reading More Practical Translation Focused Writing Final Project Task 1 Chinese cuisine has become widespread in many parts of the worldfrom East Asia to North America, Australia to Western Europe. Regional cultural differences vary greatly among the different regions of China, giving rise to the different styles of food. There are eight main regional cuisines: Anhui, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Zhejiang. Work in pairs to choose two different regional cuisines with which you are familiar from the eight alternatives above. Compare them by discussing the ingredients, preparation, flavors etc. (P35) Whats your favorite dish? Why? How is it prepared? Starting outStarting out Task 2 With the ever-widening opening up to the outside world, Western practices exert some influence, yet they have not really changed the eating habits of the Chinese people. (P35) Starting outTask 2Starting outTask 2 Do you think globalization will have an effect on traditional Chinese eating habits? If so, why and how? If not, why not? I think globalization will have an effect on Chinese eating habits. Since Reform and Opening-up, Western practices have exerted profound influence on the living style of Chinese people. We can see that great changes have taken in the way we feed ourselves. For example, many Chinese today like to have burgers, sandwiches and coffee instead of steamed buns and soybean milk for breakfast. I dont think globalization will have an effect on traditional Chinese eating habits. Take me for example, I prefer porridges to burgers for breakfast and tea to coffee or coke. I think Chinese food, one of the most popular food choices in most parts of the world, has a very long history and distinctive characteristics. Most people I know enjoy traditional Chinese food because it tastes delicious and the price is reasonable. Therefore, globalization will have little effect on traditional Chinese eating habits. Task 3 Discuss with your partner the following questions. Globalization is everywhere. In the food industry, we see that giants such as KFC and McDonalds have entered Chinese market and established many franchises in major Chinese cities. (P35) Do you often eat Western style fast food in KFCs or McDonalds? If yes, what do you think of the food served there? If not, why not? Starting outTask 3Starting outTask 3 Yes, I often have fast food in KFC and McDonalds. Fast food chains can provide food of relatively uniform size, volume or even shape all over the world because of its strict standard. No matter where I am, I will have burgers and chips of the same taste. Thats really fantastic! No, I dont like fast food in KFC and McDonalds. Except burgers and chips, they cannot provide anything else that is interesting and creative. Food there is really a nuisance with awful taste and unattractive price. Besides, the high-calorie food is a nightmare for me. Dont forget that Im on a diet these days. Some people worry that the popularity of the Western style fast food among Chinese people, young people in particular, will give rise to a decline in the popularity of traditional Chinese food, such as, the steamed bun. (P35) Do you agree? Why or why not? Apart from American fast food and hotel buffets, what do you know about western eating habits?
