Some time ago, I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg. I di

dn' t foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes' walk from my flat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly man saying, "What a charming chair! Yes, that' s quite a simple job. When would you want it back?"

I was quite wrong. I wasn' t too concerned;after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road.

The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. The rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, " Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it?" "£ 20, "I said. "It's got a slightly broken leg, "I said. "Yes, I saw that. It' s nothing;don't worry about it. "

"What will you do with it?"I asked. "Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. "" I' Il buy it, "I said. "Yes, I know, but I' ve changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what I' m looking for. I' ve got a pair to it at home; I'll give you £ 27 for it. " " You must be crazy, "he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, "I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair. "

"And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me?" " I wouldn' t have done it, "he said. "We don' t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance, but I' ll mend this for you. "

The author was not worried about the broken leg of the chair at first because_______.

A.his flat was very near the antique shops

B.he knew it was easy to mend it

C.there were so many antique shops selling chairs

D.he thought it was easy for him to find someone to repair it

根据材料请回答下列各

My interest in Chinese food started years a90,when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post.Our office Wasn’t far from Chinatown,where I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it.I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables.When I learned more about the food,I began to understand why it has this special feature.

Many years ago,China had an energy crisis(危机)because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests.This loss was very bad for the country,of course,but it turned out to be very good for the food.Wood became very expensive and hard to get,so the Chinese had to either find a substitute(替代物)for their valuable wood,or learn how to use it better.There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to—economize.

In order to economize in cookin9,they had to use very little wood.So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil.That way,the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel。The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor(味道)一and its this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

This text is mainly about__________.

A.what caused Chinese food to taste fresh

B.how Chinese food is cooked in the US

C.when the author started to make Chinese food

D.why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food
