With a rising awareness of health and well-being, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cuisine is gaining popularity among young people in China. Like Tongrentang, many leading TCM companies are investing in the food sector, tapping into the potential of a market yet to be fully explored.
On the one hand, young people in China joke about themselves being “crispy-skin youngsters”, mocking their poor health. In fact, it's a complaint about stress and depression from overwork. On the other hand, young Chinese want to stay healthy but feel it's hard to abandon unhealthy habits such as staying up late and eating junk food. Therefore, products that claim to be able to balance good taste and health are favored.
Shi Jingwen, 20, barely drinks milk tea, unlike most women of her age, because she said she placed a high value on health in terms of diet. But she would like to try a cup of almond tofu and osmanthus tea by Tea of Seasons, a herbal beverage brand created in 2022 by a time-honored Beijing TCM provider. “Their products can provide people with healthy enjoyment both physically and mentally. For example, products like their mung bean soup introduced in the summer better meet people's needs for cooling down during the hot season. This can also provide a sense of comfort in one's healthy diet,” she said. “The products also inherit traditional Chinese culture, which is special.”
However, the use of TCM cuisine “should take into consideration one's age, gender, weight and other factors, as well as the different seasons”, an expert said, adding that “a small intake each time is preferred”. As for whether TCM cuisine can truly benefit health or is just a marketing method, it depends on whether it's a reasonable match of ingredients and the amount in each product. You cannot truly count on TCM cuisine to significantly improve health. If you really feel uncomfortable, you'd better go to hospital.
Kathy Jiang, an expert of the global consultancy Roland Berger, said, “Young consumers are increasingly drawn to TCM cuisine due to heightened health consciousness, cultural pride and its compatibility with modern lifestyles.”
4.What is special about the TCM products?
A.They can serve as pills. B.Delicious ingredients are added to them.
C.They are mixed with junk food. D.They inherit traditional Chinese culture.
5.What is the expert's suggestion for people suffering from illness?
A.Burning off calories. B.Seeing a doctor.
C.Having popular dishes. D.Taking TCM products.
6.Why is TCM cuisine gaining popularity among young people in China?
A.It saves money. B.Young people have unhealthy habits.
C.Young people have stress and depression. D.It meets people's physical and mental needs.
7.What would be the suitable title for the text?
A.TCM Cuisine: Modern Diets for Health-Conscious Young People
B.TCM Cuisine: Best Medicines for Health-Conscious Young People
C.TCM Cuisine: Practical Welfare for Health-Conscious Young People
D.TCM Cuisine: Unique Necessities for Health-Conscious Young People

基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.priority 考查名词。句意:最重要的事是帮助培养我们的孩子辨别是非的能力。设空处作主语,由空前的The可知应用名词,且由系动词is可知应用单数。故填priority。

易错归因
本题容易错填cheves。以-f或-fe结尾的名词变复数时,通常把f或fe变为v再加-es,但chef变复数是直接在词尾加s。类似的还有chief(首领)—chiefs、proof(证据)—proofs等。
4.at 考查介词。句意:他最好的朋友说,他至少应该每天抽出半小时参加课外活动。at a minimum表示“至少;最少”,为固定搭配。故填at。

8.exceptional;which 考查形容词和定语从句。句意:Neish 并不排除这种可能性,但她指出一个担忧:土卫六内部的有机物可能主要是具有异常稳定性的分子,这些分子很难转化为氨基酸等基本生物单位。第一空作定语修饰名词stability,应用形容词,故填exceptional;第二空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词molecules,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。
