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.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
选项
A、Prominent American Foods.
B、History of the Chicken Soup.
C、Chicken Soup Recipes.
D、Chicken Soup, a Universal Cure All.
答案
D
解析
本题问文章的最佳标题是什么。利用浏览式阅读法通读全文,我们知道作者在第一段中以问题的方式提出了全文的主题,鸡汤是除孩子外能自古至今将全世界的母亲们联系在一起的一个话题。在第二段和第三段中作者简述了从过去到现在人们对鸡汤的青睐。在第四段以及后面的段落中作者主要分析了人们喜欢鸡汤并认为它有疗效、能增强体质的原因。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“鸡汤——公认的补药”。
