"No,what is it?"I answered. "It's good.You'll like it.See you tonight at 7?" And so it was decided. The hot pot restaurant was popular in the city.We found a table at the far end of a room.Soon,a large hot pot arrived.The hot pot itself had two sides.On one side was a cloudy white broth(). The broth on the other side was covered with bright red oil. "Is that red pepper oil?"I asked. “Yes,”Rui answered. “You should try it.If you like spicy(辛辣的)food,you'll really enjoy it.” Rui picked up a thin slice of lamb with his chopsticks and then put it in the red broth.In seconds,it was cooked,and he put it on my small plate. "If it's too spicy,you can use this other broth-it's not spicy at all because it doesn't have any peppers in it."Rui pointed to the cloudy white broth on the other side of the pot. No,"I said,“this is fine.” But it was more than fine:It was spicy,mouth-numbing,and amazing.I ate and ate until the restaurant was almost closed.I just couldn't get enough of it. For hundreds of years,millions of Chinese people have felt the same way:They just can't get enough hot pot.It has always been their favourite food. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao.It is said that the spicy food helps people get through Sichuan's hot and wet weather. Nearly as famous as the Sichuan hot pot is the Beijing hot pot.The Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients (as the Sichuan hot pot,but has a lighter taste.The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage,while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth,and is known for its wide range of ingredients.In fact,while lamb hot pot is quite popular,almost any kind of ingredient can be found in hot pot cooking.There are as many kinds of hot pots as there are cooks. In China,people like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can't solve.The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart.Over a hot pot, people can talk and share not just food,but friendship.While the food may soon be forgotten,these friendships stay with us forever.Even today,when I think of hot pot,my friend Rui's face immediately comes to mind,and I remember all the good times I spent with him. 九年级英语 第6页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 49.What does the underlined word"it"in the passage mean?

A customer came in two or three times a week,and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him.He was a quiet,middle-aged man,wearing glasses and a brown beard.1 His clothes were always old and patched )But he looked tidy and had very good manners.He always bought two loaves of stale(不新鲜的)bread.Fresh bread was five cents a loaf,while stale loaves were two for five.2 Once,while serving him,Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark on the customer's fingers.3 She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor.No doubt he lived in an attic,where he painted pictures,ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha's bakery.④ Miss Martha's heart was a sympathetic one.To check if she was right about his job,she took a painting from her room and put it behind the bread counter.No artist could fail to notice it. Two days later,the customer came in. “Two loaves of stale bread,if you please.” "You have here a fine picture,madam,"he said while she was packing the bread.

Now,when he came,he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha.He kept on buying stale bread,never a cake,never a pie.She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart.She wanted to provide somthing good for him,but she was afraid of hurting him.
