Served in various ways, including steamed and fried, the dessert—dim sims (点心) first won 【小题1】 (popular) in the 1940s in Melbourne and beyond.

The dessert 【小题2】 (develop) by businessman William Chen Wing Young. “During the gold rush, many Chinese people 【小题3】 came to Australia had no job. They were like the leftovers,” said Chen’s daughter Chen Yueyi. Then Chen noticed that siu mai (烧麦), a kind of 【小题4】 (tradition) Chinese food, was very popular in Australia. He decided to turn it into production to help Chinese people earn a living.

But siu mai was too difficult for Australians 【小题5】 (pronounce), so Chen called it “dim sim” instead. Harrington, an Australian recalled, “【小题6】 (load) with soy sauce, dim sims have a special flavor and I fell in love with them 【小题7】 (immediate).”

Chen Yueyi started cooking schools to promote Chinese food culture. In 【小题8】 (she) 80s, she won the “Member of the Order of Australia” for her important contributions to the service industry and the development of Chinese food.

“Although Chinese food is always loved, it is not always understood. I try to show people Chinese food is much more 【小题9】 just something to fill the stomach,” says Chen Yueyi, “I’m proud of the fact that my father and I have been 【小题10】 bridge between the two cultures.”

Waste Not, Want Not

“More?” asked Oliver as he held up his empty bowl. But there was no “more” for the little orphan boy from Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist, only the scowl(不悦之色) of Mr. Bumble, the mean man in charge of the orphanage. In the 18th-century England, a full stomach was only for the rich, not for poor orphans 【小题1】 Oliver.

Three hundred years later, it is hard to imagine anyone being hungry. We live in a time 【小题2】food supplies are abundant(充裕的). There is so much food that the world throws away—about 1.3 billion tonnes each year, roughly one-third of the food 【小题3】(produce) for human consumption. That amount of wastage is immoral and expensive. It is also preventable.

Most waste food is in the form of fruits and vegetables 【小题4】are no longer fresh. Packaged foods are also tossed out because they have reached their sell-by dates and may no longer be safe to eat. This can be expensive for supermarkets, but they recover most of the cost by charging their customers 【小题5】(high) prices.

One supermarket chain in China, however, is aiming to solve the problem of wastage and high prices by going digital. Freshippo, owned by the Internet giant Alibaba, lets customers use their smartphones to shop. With the Freshippo app, they can scan and instantly pay for the products put in their shopping carts. This allows the management 【小题6】(track) purchases in real time and re-stock items quickly. It can also keep them informed of which items to buy more of. This unique way of shopping is designed to reduce costs, which results in some of the savings 【小题7】(pass) on to customers.

Although Freshippo is taking steps to respond to the food waste crisis, there is another problem that has to be addressed: our overall attitude toward food. We may be taking 【小题8】too much for granted. This year we have seen big crop losses because of an invasion of armyworms(草地夜蛾). China 【小题9】(lose) as many as one million pigs to African swine fever(非洲猪瘟) since the summer of 2018. This year’s food problems are a good reminder not to be wasteful: Always clean your plate in the cafeteria, and always ask for a doggy bag(打包袋) in a restaurant if there is food remaining. Never throw away an apple just because it has a small brown spot, and never ask for “more” 【小题10】you are really hungry.

You may not know the name John Smith Pemberton, but you must know the name of his【小题1】(invent):Coca-Cola.

Pemberton was a US chemist. When he was wounded in the Civil War, he used medicine to ease the pain and gradually got【小题2】 (addict) to it. To light the addiction, he created his own drink by【小题3】 (use) leaves of coca and nuts of kola. He named【小题4】，“Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”. In the same year, the local government passed a ban on alcohol. Pemberton had to change the recipe to remove the alcohol.

In 1886, Pemberton invited Willis Venable to help him perfect his new recipe. They used carbonated water and finally invented a new drink. It had no alcohol【小题5】could still ease pain and clear the mind. Pemberton decided to sell it【小题6】a drink rather than a medicine. In 1887, Pemberton sold part of the stock of his company to Asa Candler,【小题7】later created the Coca-Cola Company.

Nowadays. Coca-Cola has become one of the most popular【小题8】(drink) in the world. The company only offers semi-finished products to partners and won’t sell the【小题9】(origin) ingredients (成分).Its secret recipe was kept in the Sun Trust Bank in Atlanta for 86 years until the end of 2011. Since then, it【小题10】(keep) in the World of Coca-Cola center in Atlanta.
