Unit 3 Food and Culture
[单元话题链接]
2017版《普通高中英语课程标准》首次提出“学科核心素养”。英语学科核心素养由语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力构成。下面文段就是围绕“思维品质”这一学科素养展开,使学生了解吃饭时间会影响健康,学习一些健康方面的知识,帮助青少年养成良好的饮食习惯。
Jackie Rodriguez put on a lot of weight after her first child was born.Then, when her daughter was two,she dropped all the weight with practically no effort. “I wasn't using any fat burners or shakes... nothing,” she says.
The change had nothing to do with what Rodriguez ate. Rather, it began when she started a new job that shook up her daily routine. Working in the office of a DJ company near her apartment, she started her work at 5:30 p.m. Instead of sharing dinner with her husband at nine,she ate alone at five and went to work.
Night work often leads to weight gain, so Rodriguez's story might seem to be a quirk. But unlike many such workers, Rodriguez clocked out by 11 p.m. and got a regular night's sleep. Perhaps even more important, she didn't eat at work or when she got home—just showered and went to bed.
Her main change was moving dinnertime almost four hours earlier. That single, simple change seems to have cause Rodriguez's weight loss, and scientific research may explain why.
In labs around the world, researchers are developing a completely new understanding of how our bodies work. It seems that our bodies process food fastest when it's eaten during daylight hours. “That late-night bowl of ice cream may all go toward your waist,” says UCLA neuroscientist Christopher Colwell.
Just look at Satchidananda Panda's mice.Panda, a bioiogist,is a leading expert on how the timing of food eating affects health.His team has found that mice that eat only during their active hours are healthier and thinner than mice that eat the same amount of food over 24 hours.
Encouragingly, when unhealthy mice are allowed to eat only during their daytime, the condition of those having some diseases such as diabetes improves. “It's likely that we can help treat some diseases just by changing when people eat, ” Panda says.

Ⅲ.Sentence explanation.
1.Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.

句意:告诉我你的饮食情况,我就会告诉你你是什么样的人。
2.On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans.
分析:本句是一个强调句。谓语动词用“does+动词原形”进行强调,加强了语气,译为“确实,的确……”。
句意:另一方面,它确实告诉了我们很多关于美国人的事情。
3.The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.
分析:本句是由转折连词but引导的并列句。but之后的分句为连接代词what引导的主语从句,过去分词短语offered us作后置定语,修饰名词friendship。
句意:食物很美且(味道)与众不同,但更重要的是,给我们展现出来的友谊更加珍贵。
Step 3 Post-reading
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Just as Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote,“Tell me what you eat, 1.and I will tell you what you are.” That means “You are what you eat.”
In many 2.ways (way) this seems to be true.Take Chinese cuisine for example.Once we had a chance 3.to experience (experience) authentic Chinese food in different areas.We had the pleasure of 4.tasting (taste) an entirely new taste—Sichuan peppercorns, which was wonderful and different, but what was even 5.more important (important) was the friendship that offered us.Later, in Shandong Province we enjoyed the boiled dumplings 6.served (serve) with vinegar, where people attached the importance to their family's getting together.As usual, lamb kebab 7.is regarded(regard) as the traditional food in northern Xinjiang, for the people there often wander the open range on horses.
Put more 8.simply (simple), the kinds of food local people consume tell us 9.what they grow in their region, what kinds of lives they lead, and what they like and don't like.That is, culture and cuisine go hand 10.in hand.
Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.
Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories more during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.
Don't skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.
Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.
B.Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruits and vegetables are equally important.
C.It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten.
D.It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day.
2.The underlined word “raisins” most probably means .
A.dried grapes B.peach leaves
C.pieces of cheese D.peanuts
3.Who is this passage intended for?
A.Students. B.Office workers.
C.Housewives. D.Cooks.
4.How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?
