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 statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Chicken soup has a very long history.
B、Since ancient times, chicken soup has been a home remedy.
C、Poultry usually stands higher than four-legged animals.
D、Four legged animals were said to be created on the sixth day.
答案
C
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪个选项是不正确的。根据所给的四个选项的内容,利用查阅式阅读法,结合原文相关信息,我们可以在第三段中找到与正确答案相关的内容。这段文章引述了亚里士多德的观点:鸡应该优于四脚动物,因为空气的密度比地球的密度更稀疏。亚里士多德的前提是:生物愈众,其价值愈轻;《创世纪》中也说:上帝第五天创造了天空、海洋中的生灵,第六天才创造了四脚动物。这两种看法当然不能客观地证明鸡优于四脚动物。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“鸡通常比四脚动物高(或高级)”。
