(2024·洛阳第二次统考)There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may
think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.

For those of us who attempt to keep up with the fashion world to ensure our cupboards stay
fresh, the real skeletons in our cupboards are those pieces we bought and only wore once or twice—mostly from following each season’s new trends.
With fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M and Zara’s constant output of new trendy clothing at low prices, it’s easy to fall into the trap of buying clothes regardless of whether you really need them. But unnecessary purchasing, and the mass production of clothing, aren’t just hard on our wallets—they are hard on the environment.
One of the first steps in getting unwanted clothes out of your cupboard is to sell or consign(寄送) them. But because popular resale shops like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads don’t accept fast fashion brands because they don’t profit enough from them, people often turn to throwing their old clothing in the dustbins.
Many consumers don’t realize that clothing and textiles(纺织品) are recyclable or how to recycle them. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States generated 16.22 million tons of waste textiles in 2017 and recycled only 2.62 million tons. Ten and a half million tons of textiles were finally buried under the ground that year.
Vetements, a Parisian fashion brand worn by celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna, aimed to bring awareness to the problem of fast fashion brands and clothing waste with a recent window display at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. The window contained a giant pile of clothes. The pile, which grew daily, was made up of old clothes donated by Saks employees and out-of-season items from the store.
On Aug.10, the clothing from the display was donated to RewearAble, a Long Island recycling program that collects old clothes and textiles, and prepares them for resale or repurposes the textiles.
5．What keeps customers coming back to fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M and Zara? A．Good shopping environment.
B．Discounts and promotional activities. C．Warm and thoughtful service of the salesmen. D．Low prices and a continuous supply of new looks.
6．Where can you find the data that best supports “fast fashion is hard on the environment”？ A．In paragraph 2.
B．In paragraph 3. C．In paragraph 4. D．In paragraph 5.
7．What can be learned about the window display created by Vetements? A．It can help the environment. B．It does good to people’s health. C．It can help change people’s lives.
D．It will take the lead in the latest fashion. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．How to Stop Buying Unnecessary Clothes B．Fast Fashion Brands Spread Around the World C．The Advantages and Disadvantages of Fast Fashion D．Fast Fashion Can Kill Your Wallet and the Environment Ⅱ.七选五
