Refrigeration, railways, suburban growth and the car have given rise to the supermarket, with its shrink-wrapped food,sell-by dates, and the branding and【C1】adver_________ of what we eat.Driving to edge-of-town supermarkets has resulted in the【C2】________(close) of family shops, the devaluing of high streets and a decline in interaction between buyers, growers and sellers of food.
The【C3】________of the supermarket was once played by covered markets in Britain and North America just as is today in much of the world where people still want to look closely at the food they plan to buy, and to enjoy the【C4】________(compare) buzz and the feast of all senses covered markets offer.
More than these quotidian pleasures, covered markets are often special buildings, lovingly designed because their role—feeding the city and doing so deliciously and well—is equally【C5】________important as those of city halls and places of worship.Despite the apparently【C6】________(relent) rise of factory food and supermarkets, covered markets continue to thrive, some in bright patches of Britain and the United States.
One of the surprising joys of downtown Los Angeles—a city most visitors【C7】 ________of as one great freeway where no one even thinks of walking—is Grand Central Market on South Broadway.Opened in 1917 on the ground floor of the Homer Laughlin Building and designed by the English -born 【C8】arch________ John B Parkinson, the market has served succeeding generations of immigrants.Today, 80% of those who shop here daily are Hispanic Americans, a fact reflected in the wealth of fresh fruit, vegetables and Spanish delis.Most of these, though, display their wares under all-American neon signs hung from the reinforced concrete beams of an innovative building where Frank Lloyd Wright, the most famous of all US architects, once ran his studio.
For sheer architectural beauty, Europe and the Middle East offer the【C9】________(fine) of all covered markets.Despite intense competition from opulent palazzos and mesmerising art -laced churches, few visitors to Venice can fail to be impressed by the Pescheria, the covered fish market set cheek-by-gill with Rialto Bridge.A fish market has existed near here since 1097, although the existing Neo-Gothic building designed by Domenico Rupolo and painter Cesare Laurentidates from 1907.Look up at the capitals 【C10】________(crown) the columns supporting the roof: they sport fish heads rather than classically correct volutes or acanthus leaves.
