Ⅲ.阅读理解
At weekends, I eat out with two old friends at a popular tea restaurant. We order nine dishes. It is noon, so there are so many people in the restaurant. I am surprised when all of our dishes arrive on our table in just ten minutes. “It’s so fast!” I say. “No wonder so many people love this place!”1
“It would only surprise me if we have to wait,” my friend Wang says. “Many of these dishes, I dare say, are not freshly cooked; they are just freshly heated (加热).”
“What do you mean?” my other friend, Li, asks.
“These days, pre-cooked food (预制菜) is popular in restaurants. The food is prepared in a central kitchen and then packaged (将……包装好) and frozen. When you place your order, the cooks take the food out of the fridges and heat it up. It’s ready to eat in minutes,” Wang said.

“Don’t overthink it, my friend. Enjoy the food while it’s hot,” Wang says as he ladles (舀) out three bowls of chicken soup.

“But I think customers should be able to know more about what they are putting into their mouths,” says Li, a doctor. “Certain food additives (添加剂) like MSG (味精) can cause allergies (过敏) in some people. Restaurants should put this information on their menus.”
