In Macau’s Clane Village, the delicius smell f butter gently wafts thrugh the air, attracting custmers int a small, unassuming(不张扬的)shp. It is Lrd Stw’s Bakery, famed fr its Prtuguese egg tarts. They have a flaky(酥脆的)texture, while the custard(牛奶蛋糊)is nt t sweet.
The bakery was started by Andrew Stw 32 years ag. Originally frm Essex in eastern England, Andrew wrked fr British drugstre chain Bts as an industrial pharmacist(工业药剂师). He mved t Macau in 1979 t wrk fr Angl French Labratries. When the cmpany left a few years later, Andrew decided t stay and set up his wn business selling health fds, which was f curse 20 years ahead f its time.
The business did nt d well. T make ends meet, Andrew tk a side jb managing Alfns’s Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Htel. He gt the name “Lrd Stw” frm his Prtuguese friends, wh laughed at him fr lrding it ver them.
Althugh his health fd business never tk ff, Andrew fund a niche imprting flur fr expatriates (侨民)wh wanted t make their wn bread. When he went t Prtugal, Andrew saw the radside bakeries selling pasteis de nata (Prtuguese egg tarts). He thught abut intrducing it t Macau.
The nly prblem was that Andrew did nt have a recipe fr pesteis de nata, but he was nt discuraged. He started experimenting. With the help f a chef friend at the Hyatt Regency, he develped his wn versin f pasties de nata. It featured a Prtuguese pastry(油酥面皮)case filled with a British custard that is slightly burned n the tp.
Initially, Lrd Stw’s Bakery sld abut 100 egg tarts a day. That figure grew rapidly. Nw, an amazing 21,000 egg tarts are prduced in seven lcatins in Macau every day.
After Andrew died suddenly f asthma(哮喘)in Octber 2006, his sister Eileen cntinued managing the business. “I can’t believe the business has grwn this much in 32 years. And I dubt whether Andrew expected that it wuld have such a lng histry,” she says. “The Macau gvernment hnred Andrew with a gld medal fr his services t turism. They recgnized that he had created an icnic(标志性的)pastry that wuld be frever linked with Macau.

Fd allergies(过敏) have been n the rise. In the US, it is nt estimated that ver 10 percent f the adult ppulatin has an allergy t peanuts, shellfish, dairy r anther type f fd. In the UK, the past three decades have seen hspital admissins fr fd allergies rise five times. Thankfully, we are building up the armury(宝库)needed t reverse(逆转)this trend s that, ne day, such ptentially deadly reactins becme a thing f the past.
The mst cmmn types f fd allergies are caused by antibdies that we make called immunglbulin (免疫球蛋白)E r IgE. These antibdies were discvered in the mid-1960s and started an era f allergy research that is still ging strng tday. The early findings have led t thusands f studies that paint a cmplicated picture f hw allergies wrk, suggesting ways in which we can prevent and treat them.
The ld saying “preventin is better than the cure” hlds true fr fd allergies. My clleagues and I use the s-called six Ds as a guide t preventative measures during childhd: diet, dirt, dgs, dry skin, detergents(清洁剂)and vitamin D. Studies have fund that peple have a lwer risk f develping an allergy when, as yungsters, they eat a diverse diet and d s ften, have healthy vitamin D levels, live in a hme with a dg, avid dry skin and are expsed t dirt, allwing them t develp a gd micrbime(微生物组). The use f harsh detergents has als been assciated with an increase in IgE.
Clearly, fr many peple that have fd allergies, such early life preventin is n lnger an ptin. Hwever, ther appraches are taking shape.
Mst f the ways we currently use target the immune system in an effrt t cntrl its respnse t allergens(过敏原). One technique, knwn as allergen immuntherapy(免疫疗法), invlves slwly building up expsure t a prblem fd. By starting in very small dses, the bdy appears t be able t be cntrlled t n lnger see it as a threat. Hwever, immuntherapy needs regular expsure t allergens, which can cause side effects.
There are als anti-IgE drugs that can blck the antibdies invlved. These can be particularly useful when used with allergen immuntherapy t help peple becme insensitive t trublesme ingredients. Allergy vaccines are anther ptin. These wrk by reshaping the bdy’s immune respnse t a particular fd s it desn’t end in illness.
As we gain evidence and experience with each f these appraches, we are mving clser t being able t treat all fd allergies. Many f us arund the wrld are aiming t create a new ear, ne in which this truble is a thing f the past.
28. Frm the first tw paragraphs, we can tell that ________.
A. ne in 10 peple is allergic t peanuts
B. immunglbulin E takes effect when we have fd allergies
C. the research f allergies hadn’t been cnducted until mre recent years
D. mre peple in the UK nw suffer frm fd allergies than 30 years ag
29. Why did the authr mentin six Ds?

B. T cnvince readers f his unique methd t develp fd allergies
C. T discuss the effectiveness f this methd fr curing fd allergies
D. T supprt the belief that preventin is mre imprtant than the cure
30. What can we learn abut the treatments accrding t Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. Peple can get rid f fd allergies thrugh gradual adaptin.
B. Anti-IgE drugs raise peple’s sensitivity t certain ingredients.
C. Immuntherapy is believed t bring mre harm than gd.
D. Allergy vaccines are the safest methd fr the curing f fd allergies.

I have always lved fd. At hme, I d the things that every fdie des. I regularly attend fd festivals, I ck five-curse meals fr my friends, and I watch Tp Chef and dream f anther life in which I might have becme a chef.
Hwever, it was nt until five years ag, when my husband and I traveled t Suth Africa, that I cmbined my lve fr traveling with fd. Suth African cuisine is a mixture f many different subcultures. If we have nly been there t see the elephants, we wuld nt have learned as much as we did abut the vast and dynamic culture f the cuntry if we had nt taken int accunt its fd. Sure, we culd have pened a textbk and read f the histry that brught all f these cultures tgether, but we wuld nt have experienced it firsthand and taken hme all f the priceless memries we did. Until then, I had n idea abut the limitless benefits that ne culd gain frm traveling fr fd.
Yu are wndering hw fd can be pwerful, right? It is simple. Eating used all five senses. Nt nly d we taste ur fd, we als tuch it, smell it, see it with ut eyes, and listen t it sizzling(嘶嘶作响)in the pan. We are in a heightened state f being whenever we interact with fd. Persnally, the taste f Malbec transprts me t a tasting rm(品酒室) in Argentina. The smell f lime(酸橙)instantly brings t mind the Thai cking class I tk in Chiang Mai.
Yu see, fd has the ability t shape yur jurneys and define yur memries. Fd is als an essential part f life and cmmunity. It is what makes us wh we are as a peple. I read a lt f travel articles abut hw t save mney n fd while traveling and hw t avid street fd s as nt t get sick. I seriusly questin whether yu can experience the authentic side f a culture withut trying sme f its lcal fd. After all, what is Thailand withut a plate f Pad Thai, Canada withut putine(肉汁乳酪薯条), and Mexic withut tacs(玉米薄饼卷)? I am exaggerating a little, but yu get the pint.
The wrld is full f incredible fds beckning t be eaten and they are all just a plane ride r rad trip away. Even if yu are nt a fdie, well, yu still have t eat. S why nt eat a little, learn a little, and take hme the leftvers?
32. What des the underlined wrd “dynamic” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ppular.B. Traditinal.C. Energetic.D. Plitical.
33. Which f the fllwing best describes “eating” accrding t paragraph3?
A. Demanding.B. Multi-sensryC. Pwerful.D. Well-received.
34. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. Tasting allw visitrs a better understanding f its culture.
B. It’s wise f yu t stay away frm street fd while traveling.
C. Fd shuld be last thing t cnsider in rder t save mney.
D. Withut characteristic fds, cuntries must lse appeal t visitrs.
35. What is the purpse f writing this passage?
A. T encurage peple t enjy fd.
B. T stress the culture behind lcal fds.
C. T advcate traveling invlving lcal fds.
D. T explain the benefits we gain frm fds.

When yu buy a cup f cffee, yu have prbably nticed the three different ize ptins: small, medium and large. The medium-sized serving ften csts almst as much as the large ne. Given the apparent bargain, have yu ever chsen the biggest and mst expensive ptin?
If s, yu have been driven by a cgnitive bias(认知偏差)knwn as the “decy effect(诱饵效应).” (36) ________ Cnsider anther example.
Imagine yu are chsing flights frm the fllwing ptins: -
■ Flight A csts $400 with a stpver f 60 minutes

In each case, Flight C (the decy) was designed t appear similar t, but slightly less attractive than, ne f the ther ptins (the target). (38) ________ Experiments have fund the use f a well-designed decy can change the pinin between the ther tw ptins(选择)by as much as 40 percent—shwing hw easily ur decisins can be influenced by the way they are designed.
The decy effect was first investigated as a ptential marketing strategy t influence cnsumer chices. Hwever, by learning abut it, yu may becme less likely t be affected by this influence. (39) ________ If yu are discussing travel plans with friends, fr instance, and have nt decided yet where t g, yu might present tw alternative arrangements at yur city f chice, but ne with a slightly mre expensive htel. The cmparisn may lead them t yur preferred ptin.
(40) ________ Ask yurself whether yu are really chsing the ptin yu need r want, r whether yu are being attracted by an intentinally unappealing chice. Like an expert sniper(狙击手)trained t avid false targets, yu may find that yu judgement suddenly becmes a lt mre accurate.
A. It is cheaper than the last ne.
B. There is much debate abut is reasns.
C. Remember t stay away frm the decy effect.
D. Yu may even discver ways t use it as a tl fr persuasin.
E. That cmparisn changed the way peple find the ther pssibilities.
F. The additinal, slightly less attractive ptin pushes yu t pay mre mney.
G. The latest research shws that it culd als have strng effects n emplyment.
