Then he nodded. “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it. ” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think youll find it will be on sale seven, perhaps eight years from now,” he smiled.The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils.

Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.”“Perhaps,” said Mr. Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as possible. That is, of course, the best way.”The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that. “But I am sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.”The manager had his doubts, but al he said was an enquiring “Oh?”“The other way,” continued Mr. Johnson, “is to produce the thing yourself before the trouble starts.”36.

It lasts between two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated between 10 and 12 miles.The skate snacks round the street of London along several different routes. Many of the routes pass by tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben.Marshals (交通协调员) go ahead of the group, stopping the traffic so that people can skate as safely as possible.

He went to the Paris-Roller (Paris skate) regularly until he moved to Britain.“Its so exciting to skate in Paris. Everyone skates so fast and puts in their best efforts!” he said.

They were part of the spread of civilization, though since people change their tastes in painting and architecture (建筑学) much faster than their tastes in food, knowledge of what was eaten is far less than knowledge of the houses that were lived in or the clothes that were worn. Cookery books were few before the 17th century, and how close are the general eating habits at any period to the cookery books published?Changes owed more to the movement of people, of animals, of merchants, of rich landowners, than to books. Before canals (运河), railways, good roads, most people ate what could be produced within a thirty-mile area. Ports did better, of course, if they were on a big trade route. For most people food was basically regional food and there was not always enough of it either. Even in good areas, poor country people had little to eat since most of what they produced went for sale at local markets. Only rich men could buy expensive seeds to grow unusual vegetables, or employ gardeners who understood how to grow fine fruit unfamiliar to the place they lived in, or afford cooks trained elsewhere to provide variety at mealtime.The undoubted advantages of present-day large-scale manufacture (大规模生产) and organization-wonderful cleanliness, quick distribution (分配), prices that allow far more people than ever in the past to satisfy their hunger- have not so far come to us together with an excellent quality of flavor (风味). Moreover, in a world where possibilities are endless, business seems to try to limit choice beyond a certain level. Of the 300 varieties of pears that listed by one French 17th-century gardenereven though he had to admit that only 30 of them were really worth eatingonly about half a dozen are now produced in Europe.52.

What is the problem with our food today?A. Its too expensive for many people. B. Its manufactured too quickly.C. It doesnt taste as it used to. D. Its exported in very large quantities.55.
