    Many may remember the 1998 film Mulanthe story of a young Chinese girl Pretending to be a man to take her father’s place in the army. After this film was released, McDonald’s began to serve a sauce called Mulan SzeChuan Sauce. Also in 2017a cartoon show Rick and Morty, which featured a mad scientist and his adventures with his grandson, mentioned the SzeChuan sauce. Many fans have queued up for hours to buy it Packets of the sauce have even appeared on eBay selling for up to $ 250 each.

However, the sauce created by McDonald’s lacks any original Sichuan flavor. As one of the eight great cuisines of China, Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spicy dishes. But Dunlop says it’s a common misunderstanding that the cuisine focuses only on heat “Sichuan is about complex multilayered flavors,” she says. “The really interesting thing about Sichuan cuisine is its variety of flavors. A really good Sichuan meal is like a rollercoaster ride — you have spicy notes, sweet and sour notes, numbing and gentle flavors,” she says.

From the 1990s, Sichuan food took off. Currently, Sichuan hotpot is a hugely popular dish in China and the West, and dishes such as Mapo Tofu and Gong Bao Chicken are all famous and express the techniques and flavors of Sichuan cooking. Chef Key Chan, 65, born in Hong Kong to a family of chefs originally from Sichuan, is keen on passing down how to cook Sichuan cuisine. “Sichuan cuisine allows your taste the tip of your tongue to feel a ‘dancing sensation’,” says Chan.

1.Why Mulan and Rick and Morty are mentioned in paragraph 1?

A.To inform kids of wonderful films.

B.To remind people of the cartoon characters.

C.To show how popular the SzeChuan sauce was.

D.To indicate how expensive the SzeChuan sauce was.

2.What can we know about Sichuan cuisine from paragraph 2?

A.It only focuses on heat.

B.It involves various flavors.

C.It is the greatest cuisine in China.

D.It is best represented by Mulan SzeChuan Sause.

3.Which of the following best explains “took off” underlined in paragraph 3?

A.Left in a hurry. B.Was quickly forgotten.

C.Began to fly. D.Became popular quickly.

4.How does Chan feel about Sichuan cuisine?

A.Amazing. B.Just so-so.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that a couple days of camping in the great outdoors can reset your circadian (昼夜节律的)clock and help you get more sleep.

The circadian clock, more commonly known as the body clock, is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin(褪黑激素)circulating in a person’s blood at any given time. In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up.

In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is that your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to grogginess(头晕眼花). It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight problems and heart disease

Professor Kenneth P. Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited (招收)14 physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. ''This tells us we can reset our clocks fast, '' Wright said.

Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night.
