(2024·莆田高一期末)The baguette,a long,thin French bread,is being added to United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization's(UNESCO's) Intangible Cultural Heritage(ICH,非物质文化遗产) list.
UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour,water,salt,and yeast—was worth UN recognition,after France's culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries(烘焙店),with some 400 closing every year over the past half century.
The UN cultural agency's chief,Audrey Azoulay said,“the decision honors more than just bread;it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual(仪式)’.” Azoulay added,“It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.”
With the bread's new status(地位),the French government said it planned to create a baguette day,called the “Open Bakehouse Day”,to connect the French better with their heritage.Bakers in France seemed proud,if unsurprised.“Of course,it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world,” said Asma Farhat,a baker at Julien's Bakery.“If there's no baguette,you can't have a proper meal.In the morning you can toast it,for lunch it's a sandwich,and then it accompanies dinner.”
Today,France's 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points,including in supermarkets.According to France's “Bread Observatory”,the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second.“It's very easy to get bad baguette in France.It's the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger,” said one local resident,Marine Fourchier.
The baguette joins other food on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list,which UNESCO says,celebrates “traditions or living expressions from our ancestors (祖先) and passed on to our next generations.”

The Birthday Cake
Josie was a girl who loved to bake.She always helped her uncle at his bakery.Mostly she carried ingredients(原料) from the refrigerator to the large work table.Sometimes Uncle Dave let Josie stir(搅拌) the cake batter(面糊) with a wooden spoon.
Josie wanted to learn to bake a cake on her own.She asked if Uncle Dave would show her how to make it.Her mother's birthday was only two days away.If Josie made a cake all by herself,it would be a wonderful surprise.
On Saturday morning,Josie arrived at the bakery just as it was closing.The bakery always closed early on the weekend so that Uncle Dave could walk his dogs.“Ready,Josie?” Uncle Dave asked.“Ready!” Josie answered.
First,Uncle Dave had Josie get all the ingredients and line them up on the work table.Then he showed her how to measure flour and sugar so that she had the exact right amount.She added these ingredients to a large mixing bowl.Next,Uncle Dave tapped an egg on the side of the bowl to crack it.“Be careful not to get any bits of shell in the bowl,” he said.
Josie tapped her egg very gently on the bowl.It didn't crack.She tried again,and this time the shell came apart.She pulled the egg apart over the bowl and watched the yellow egg yolk drop into the flour.
Now it was time to stir.“This is fun!” said Josie.
When the batter was ready,Uncle Dave helped Josie pour it into the cake pan.He gave Josie oven mitts(烤箱手套) and showed her how to put the pan in the oven without burning her hands.
