Food in France is always political.Marie-Antoinette ran into trouble after advising the poor to eat cake;the far right has made its"fight"against halal meat in schools its rallying cry and don't get a French person started on whether to say pain au chocolat.or chocolatine(a burning topic dividing the country,which was even discussed in parliament in May).Yet even by French stanclards,the developing row between butchers and vegans is quite something.Angry butchers have just written a letter to the French interior minister,Gerard Collomb,asking for police protection against violence from vegan"fanatics"who have mounted a guerilla campaign of intimidation against them.Butcher's shops arouncl the country have been sprayed with fake blood and vandalised by vegan activists."Stop speciesism"was daubed over one rotisserie in Lille and its windows were broken.Most traditional French cuisine(which was placed on UNESCO's world cultural hericage list in 2010)caters for the carnivore.Think of cassoulet,foie gras,quiche lorraine and boeuf bourguignon.And because the French take so much pride in that tradition,ditching animal products-not only meat,but also cheese-is widely frowned on.No matter that illustrious Frenchmen,such as Vollaire,were vegetarians.In the orthodox French mind,meal in various sauces makes the bulk of the meal:if you take it out,what's left?After I went vegetarian,my parents started cooking three dishes at every family meal to make up for the lack of meat-it being thought that if you don't.eat meat,there probably won't be enough food in your plate.In many French restaurants,vegetarians and vegans struggle to order something that isn't composed solely of three salad leaves and a radish.And from a young age,French schoolchildren are taught that a meal isn't complete without meat.Although carbs or vegetables are sometimes seen as optional,meat definitely isn't.French butchers are right to be angry about their vandalised shops and are perhaps womed that meat sales are falling as vegetarianism and veganism are becoming more popular.But their letter unnecessarily attempts to discredit veganism,dividing"normal"people who eat meat from the wild eccentrics who don't.Demanding police protection for a few broken windows also seems a bic over the top in light of the power of the meat industry lobby.This group exerts such influence that it recently defeated two measures seen as"anti-meat".First,the French parliament dropped a proposal to introduce at least one vegetarian school meal a week.Then it voted in favour of a ban of the use of meat-relaled words such as"sausage"or"bacon"for the selling of veggie or vegan alLernalive products.
By citing Marie-Antoinette's words,the author aims to explain.

A.the political function of foocl in France
B.food will cause political row
C.the politicians'craze about food

第5题:

Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land, such as cotton, timber or rubber. Some raw materials such as iron ore, come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods.

Some countries produce food for export, for example, meat, sugar, or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural county needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold, dry climate is not suitable for agriculture.

A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case, it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them. It relies on exports of manufactured products and pays for imports with the money it earns from the exported goods.

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mom always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!

Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It’s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).

Another famous dish is called zao bing. It’s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area─duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don’t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

Ilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!
