What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It’s chicken soup, one prominent American food, expert says.
From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美) its virtues.
Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧) in the book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four legged animals.
But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken’s real or imagined curative (治愈的) powers comes from its color.
Her new book, The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup, looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, "there has been a lot of feeling that white colored foods are easier to eat for the weak women and the ill. "
In addition, "soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon" are considered "comfort foods," Sheraton said.
"I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish... It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder,"
Sheraton said from her New York home.
Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.
The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat. [br] It can be said from the survey that chicken is______.
选项
A、a main dish
B、a popular food
C、cheaper than any other food
D、all of the above
答案
B
解析
本题是一道根据具体细节推断类问题。问题问从调查中我们可以了解到鸡汤如何。文章最后一段提到了全国厨师协会的一项调查结果,调查表明:51%的人买鸡是因为它有营养,50%的人认为它无所不能,41%的人认为它便宜,46%的人认为它胆固醇含量低。由此可见,人们大都认为买鸡吃对自己有益。因此,本题的正确答案应是B。A“主食”;C“比任何其他食品都便宜”。文章最后一句说它经济实惠但不等于说它比其他食物都便宜。因此,这两个选项均是错误的。
