Imagine this: the British government decides to set up an international committee to examine whether the English spoken around the world is up to scratch. 41. ______ If it sounds too ridiculous to be true, take another look at recent comments by Italy's Agriculture Minister, Giovanni Alemanno. The minister, from the right-faction of the National Alliance, is about to set up an international agency to patrol standards of Italian cuisine—he has even promised to send some culinary heavy-hitters to Australia to decide which restaurants have deviated from the norm of Italian cooking. 42. ______ We can expect the minister's men to anoint as autentico the food of a well-connected restaurant using only imported Italian ingredients, while others will be warned: buy Italian, or a foreign government will get you. They will then return to Rome chanting veni, edi, vici—"I came, I ate, I conquered. " Most Italian-Australian restaurateurs will have the sense to tell Mr. Alemanno's pizza patrol where to put its bizarre notions of la cucina italiana. 43. ______ The move comes as European Union membership forces the traditionally inward-looking Italy to face the world. And with a new outlook, Italian food producers have come to the realization, that there are more people of Italian descent abroad than in Italy, and they—the children of the diaspora—are setting the standards for how Italian culture is perceived internationally. The sophisticated buongustai in Italy may scoff at the contamination of Italian-American cuisine (pasta with meatballs, the "pepperoni pizza", the bad coffee). 44. ______ Who doesn't know the meaning of capish? It's not from standard Italian, but the Neapolitan lingua franca spoken on New York's Mulberry Street in the early 1900s, when a million Italian immigrants lived in just a few neighbourhoods. Even the stereotypical mafioso comes to us from the streets of Chicago, not Palermo, and always via American popular culture. Italy now feels it's losing control of its culture and, more importantly, what it sees as its right to demand a slice of the action every time a restaurant flies an Italian flag. But should this matter to people of Italian descent around the world? Or, for that matter, to anyone running an Italian restaurant outside of Italy? 45. ______ And whatever form Italian food and culture may have taken overseas, it has been promoted and maintained by local communities, not Italian ministers. Their culture doesn't now require the approval of Italian authorities. If Mr. Alemanno wants to defend Italy's honour, he should get his kitchen hit-men to target those bandits in Florence who charge tourists $5 for a slice of microwaved margherita.[A] But they forget that everything the English-speaking world knows about Italian culture comes from the Little Italies of the United States.[B] Prime Minister Tony Blair's hand-picked investigators travel the globe, issuing on-the-spot fines for anyone deemed to have strayed too far from standard pronunciation. American idioms may even attract a prison sentence.[C] Americans, Canadians, Australians and Argentines with Italian antecedents realize they owe the Italian state nothing. They have been ignored by generations of Italian governments and treated with legendary contempt by Italian consular staff.[D] Immigrant communities are a painful reminder that, in one generation, Italy has gone from the Third World reality of Carlo Levi's novel, Christ Stopped at Eboli, to the glamour of Milan's catwalks.[E] Yet there's something disturbing about Italy's new obsession with reining in the culture of its communities abroad. (Italian coffee producers are also campaigning for their own form of international extortion—an espresso certificate. )[F] Just in case restaurants in Melbourne or Sydney fear that their pizza is facing serious scrutiny, here's the lowdown: It's a joke, an unpalatable mix of trade promotion and ethno-chauvinism.[G] As a result, their culture is a peasant one, miles from the fashionable, affluent lifestyle contemporary Italy is so desperate to promote.

填空题和谐 和谐源自人的内心。健康的人格，良好的心态，既关乎个人的身心和谐，也关乎社会的和谐稳定。一个内心失调、失衡的人，一个心中充溢着焦躁、郁闷甚至仇恨的人，往往自己会同自己过不去，还会同周围环境过不去，人生是无法和谐得起来的。心平才能气和，内和才能外顺。我们要以平和之心思考问题，多一点理性、少一点感性，多一点睿智、少一点混沌，多一点冷静、少一点浮躁，多一点淡然、少一点痴迷，多一点大度、少一点偏执。

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}You are going to read a text about Gold-Medal Workouts, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best example from the list A--F for each numbered subheading (41--45). There is one extra example which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Drawing on biomechanics and other sports science, Olympic hopefuls target just the right muscles and moves. Olympians of yesteryear shared the same goal, but they would hardly recognize today's training techniques. To achieve to Olympian ideal of "faster, higher, stronger," coaches now realize, athletes don't have to train more but they do have to, train smarter. That's why, these days, cross-country (Nordic) skiers kneel on skateboards and tug on pulleys to haul themselves up a ramp. By analyzing every motion that goes into a ski jump or a luge run, the science of biomechanics breaks down events into their component parts and determines which movements of which muscles are the key to a superlative performance. Knowing that is crucial for a simple but, to many coaches and trainers, unexpected reason: it turns out that although training for general conditioning improves fitness, the best way to boost performance is by working the muscles and practicing the moves that will be used in competition. It's called sport-specific training. {{B}}41. Ways to work the right muscles and train the right patterns of movement.{{/B}} Sport-specific training doesn't have to mean running the actual course or performing the exact event. There are other ways to work the right muscles and train the right pattern of movement. Doing situps on a Swiss ball, for instance, develops torso control as well as strength. The Finnish ice-hockey team recently added acrobatics to its training regime because it helps players to balance on the ice, says head coach Raimo Summanen. {{B}}Performance-enhancing strategies.{{/B}} The advances in physiology that have revolutionized training are giving sports scientists a better under-standing of how to improve strength, power, speed and both aerobic and anaerobic fitness: {{B}}42. Training the start-up.{{/B}} Speed is partly genetic. A star sprinter is probably born with a preponderance of fast-twitch muscle fibers, which fire repeatedly with only microsecond rests in between. Speed training therefore aims to recruit more fast-twitch fibers and increase the speed of nerve signals that command muscles to move.{{B}} 43. Strength reflects the percentage of muscle fibers the body can recruit for a given movement.{{/B}} "Someone with pure strength can recruit 90 percent of these fibers, while someone else recruits only 50 percent," says the USOC's Davis.{{B}} 44. Developing anaerobic fitness.{{/B}} Anaerobic fitness keeps the muscles moving even when the heart can't provide enough oxygen. To postpone the point when acid begins to accumulate, or at least train the body to tolerate it, Jim Walker has the speed skaters he works with push themselves beyond what they need to do in competition.{{B}} Power is strength with speed.{{/B}} "One of the biggest changes in strength training is that we're getting away from pure strength and emphasizing power, or explosive strength," says USOC strength-and- conditioning coordinator Kevin Ebel.{{B}} 45. Difficulties under way.{{/B}} It's still difficult to persuade coaches to let sports scientists mess with their athletes. To overcome such resistance, the USOC's Peter Davis has set up "performance-enhancing teams" where coaches and scientists put their heads together and apply the best science to training. Come February, the world will see how science fared in its attempt to mold athletic excellence.[A] Zach Lund races skeleton (a head-first, belly-down sled race), in which the start is crucial. He has to sprint in a bent-over position (pushing his sled along the track), then hop in without slowing the sled. "You have to go from a hard sprint to being really calm in order to go down the track well," says Lund. To improve his speed he does leg presses while lying on his back, or leg curls on his stomach (bringing his foot to his backside).[B] Despite the finding that drafting reduces the demand on the heart of a speed skater and generally improves performance, for instance, most skaters still prefer to go out fast and first.[C] Sprinters who skate 500 meters in the Olympics, for instance, power through multiple 300 meters, and do it faster than they Skate the 500. By raising the anaerobic threshold, the training gives skaters a better shot at exploding with a sprint at the finish.[D] Luge, for instance, requires precise control of infinitesimal muscle movements: "Overcorrect on a turn," says driver Mark Grimmette, "and you're dead." To achieve that precise control, he and his doubles partner, Brian Martin, devote a good chunk of their training time to exercises on those squishy rubber spheres called Swiss balls.[E] Aerobic fitness is hockey star Cammi Granato's goal one autumn morning as she pedals a stationary bike with sweaty fury at the USOC training center in Lake Placid, New York. When Granato finally staggers off the bike and crumples onto the padded platform, she's had a tougher workout than in any hockey period which is exactly the point.[F] The thigh's quadriceps, for instance, consist of millions of fibers organized into what are called motor units. When a speed skater pushes off the ice, he recruits a certain percentage of them to fire; the others are relaxing and so do not contribute to the movement.
