Climate Change Leading to Strange Poisonous Fish

People in Japan pay good money to eat the deadly pufferfish（河豚）. There, the food 【小题1】 （call ）fugu. The fish can cost more than $ 100 a kilogram.

But in the last few years, the fugu market 【小题2】 （see） a change. The part of the ocean where pufferfish live is warming quickly. Therefore, pufferfish are traveling north to find 【小题3】 （cool） water. Along the way, new kinds of poisonous fish are being created.

These pufferfish hybrids （杂交种） worry government 【小题4】 （official）. They are afraid people will accidentally eat them and die. The Japanese government has ordered fishermen and fish traders 【小题5】 （throw ） away any hybrids that they catch. The Japanese take pufferfish danger 【小题6】 （serious）. A supermarket in western Japan once accidentally sold some pufferfish that had not had their poisonous livers removed. The town used 【小题7】 （it ） missile alert system to warn residents.

Some industry workers strongly object 【小题8】 the order. They note that hybrids have poison in the same areas as regular pufferfish. Trained cooks and fish butchers know how to remove the areas 【小题9】 contain the poison. 【小题10】   in truth, even experienced fish handlers and scientists cannot always identify the hybrids. The one certainty is that the hybrid population is increasing. And this rise of mixed pufferfish is another example of the effects climate change is having on sea creatures.

The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are,” 【小题1】 means “You are what you eat.” Chinese cuisine is a case in point. In conclusion, through food, Chinese people everywhere show their culture as well as their friendship and 【小题2】 (kind). So what we can say is that culture and cuisine go hand 【小题3】 hand, and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other.

In 1909, hundreds of teahouses 【小题1】 (find) in the city of Chengdu. However, tea shops are less popular in people’s lives these days as people are turning to different modern 【小题2】(drink). In spite of this, some young tea lovers are trying to revive (复苏) the traditional ten-drinking culture in China.

Leo Liu, 【小题3】 was born in Yunnan Province, the birthplace of tea, 【小题4】 (grow) up surrounded by tea. When in college, he began to learn to appreciate its rich culture. After graduation, Liu opened teahouse in an attempt 【小题5】 (carry) forward tea-drinking culture and spread his love of tea worldwide. Chengdu was the location that he chose, due to the city’s tea culture.

Apart from 【小题6】 (introduce) different types of tea to his customers, Liu hosts a variety of events to promote the drink. One popular event is mainly about dian cha in the Song Dynasty, 【小题7】 old tea preparation method. Liu believes that by experiencing such tea customs first hand, more and more youth will eventually learn to appreciate tea

“【小题8】 is natural for youth to be attracted to fashionable drinks such as coffee or milk tea. But even milk tea can be a gateway to falling in love 【小题9】 tea,” says Liu. “We don’t need to push it. Interest comes 【小题10】 (gradual) with time.”
