B On the night of 14th June 1904, New York’s Chinatown was in a deep gloom (低迷). For the past 20 years, the restaurants were filled with those crazy about a taste of real Chinese cooking “chop suey”. But suddenly, all that seemed at risk. A few days earlier, a chef named Lem Sen had arrived, saying he had invented it a decade before while working at a restaurant in San Francisco. His recipe had been stolen by an American diner to make money. Through his lawyer, he demanded restaurants pay him for using his recipe. Chop suey was first mentioned by Chinese-American journalist Wang Chin Foo in a list of common dishes he thought most attractive to Western tastes. As he explained, “each Chinese cook has his own recipe. The main parts are pork, bacon, chicken, mushroom, bamboo shoots, onion, and pepper, while accidental ones are duck, beef, salted black beans etc. Yet it is often considered by Westerners that this is a ‘national dish of China’ more than any other dish they’ve known.” Although a hyperbolic way to introduce this dish, it clearly showed that chop suey was indeed of Chinese origin. Where exactly its roots lay has been debated; but it was probably first cooked in Taishan, Guangdong, where most early immigrants to America had grown up. In 1866, the journalist Allan Forman noticed it as a delicious dish despite its “mysterious nature”, and nine years later, the first recipe appeared in magazines, with some un-Chinese ingredients thrown in. It was not long before a myth making began. In 1896, Li Hongzhang visited New York, and newspapers mistakenly reported that while refusing Western dishes at a banquet (宴会), he had enthusiastically accepted a plate of chop suey. This caused a great hit, and many who never heard of it before simply assumed that it was introduced to the US by Li Hongzhang, which accidentally promoted the dish’s popularity. 24. What is the purpose of a chef’s story in paragraph 1? A. To describe food history. B. To bring out chop suey. C. To show risky business world. D. To introduce a law case. 25. What would Wang Chin Foo most agree with about chop suey? A. Fixed ingredients. B. Its popularity overseas. C. Un-Chinese nature. D. Mixed national identities. 26. When chop suey was introduced in a “hyperbolic” way, it was_________. A. remarked beyond reality B. explained in greater details C. praised in something common D. commented based on the origin 27. What can be inferred about the myth making on chop suey? A. Li Hongzhang promoted this dish. B. Its popularity was based on facts. C. Mass media belonged to the root cause. D. Public opinions voiced acceptance. C My favorite thing about autumn is that I have an excuse to make my mom apple cake again.
