Most people hate change,which is sad since We often go through intense changes in life.And for some of us,even the smallest changes can upset our day.So the question is:Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?
   Fear of change is nothing new.Over a century ago,the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city:the Eiffel Tower.In fact,the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction.As strange as it may seem,their anger was completely natural.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made,so they became angry.
   But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make:which school to attend,which job to take,whom to marry.Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.
   People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible.When they are flexible,people can adapt to new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who oppose change,especially with technology in the workplace,may find themselves out of a job.
   When change comes,and you have no choice but to face it,embrace it.A positive attitude helps a lot.In fact,the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.Don't merely focus on how you feel about change;instead decide to accept the change.The change is the reality,and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know - your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!

  • 1.Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world.Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish?But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West,and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East - the ancient custom of tonic food.
       Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness.For instance,it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth.It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles,reduce pain,improve circulation,stimulate sweating,and warm the body.Some foods,such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜),are seen as "hot",while others,such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小蘿卜),are seen as "cold".One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food.However,how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year,how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with,and the individual's health.
       The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.Chinese herbal medicines,such as the wolfberry (枸杞子),can be found on many a restaurant menu,either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish.These herbs attract customers,such as overworked office staff,in need of a modest pick-me-up.
       So,whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup,or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup,you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

    (1)What is the present situation of tonic food?

    A.It is catching less attention.
    B.It is enjoyed by many young people.
    C.It is well known worldwide.
    D.It is becoming increasingly popular.
    (2)What is believed to benefit new mothers?

    A.Chinese cabbage.
    B.Fruit tea.
    C.Sesame oil hotpot.
    D.Pig brain soup.
    (3)Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3?

    A.Medicine.
    B.Restaurant.
    C.Education.
    D.Fashion.
    (4)What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A.The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
    B.The Popularity of Tonic Food
    C.An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food
    D.Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
