T. Read the article and match the titles with the sections (A-H). There is one extra title.

                                          Food For Thought

A___________________

     This issue regularly gets into the news nowadays. Basically, scientists manipulate the DNA structure of plants and animals to produce more food or improve resistance to diseases. But what are the long-term effects?  Arecent study found that the pollen of genetically modified (GM) corn can kill the eggs of the monarch butterfly. Many people are not happy about these new developments. Some supermarkets and restaurants do not sell GM foods and two baby markets, Gerber and Heinz, have promised not to use it.

B_______________________

   Organic food is “natural” food. This means that pesticades or additives are not used in the production process. And it`s not just for vegetarians; organic food is a booming business and includes cheese, meat, wine, tinned food – even pet food.

C_______________________

   Eating out in a restaurant is on the increase. With the Internet, going out for a meal is a lot easier. You can make a reservation and look at the menu before you go!

D_____________________

   TV chefs are doing well. Their cookery books are bestsellers and many people have started cooking as a hobby. But eating in doesn`t always mean cooking. Shops offer a bigger variety of ready-made meals more restaurants offer take-away meals and, of course, there are more and more places on the Internet where you can order from.

E____________

  Nowadays, when you go to supermarkets, you can get a much wider choice of food from all over the world. More and more people are experimenting with exotic food – watch out for more Australian, Hawaiian, Brazilian and Malaysian recipes.

F____________

  British farmers had to kill thousand of animals at the turn of the century because of outbreaks of  “mad cow” and foot and mouth diseases. People will expect better conditions for animals and less risk of infected meat. Scientists are worried because bugs that carry diseases in food are getting resistant to antibiotics.

G____________

   The world`s population is growing fast but our planet is not. Supplies of fish and seafood have reached very low levels because of overfishing and governments will have to do something to allow the numbers of fish to get back to normal. To feed the growing population, farmers have to grow different types of crops and therefore there is pressure on them to grow more and more genetically modified crops.

H____________

   Many of these foods have special ingredients that are supposed to protect or improve your health – prevent disease or build muscles, for example. But are they really good for you? The 15 billion dollars industry is largely unregukated and so there are useless and sometimes dangerous products on the market. Expert to see more “health foods” or nutraceuticals – delicious ice cream packed with vitamins or low-cholesterol burgers, perhaps?

T. Complete the sentences with the correct answer  a, b, c.   p.53

3. Подання тексту до аудіювання                   Listening Comprehension

T. But as far as you know, different countries have different eating and drinking habbits.You are going to hear a man talking about his experiences of eating in other countries. For each question choose the correct answer A, B, C.

Tapescript

  Interviewer: This afternoon we have in the studio John Reginald, who after many years of serving as a diplomat on behalf of the British government in a large number of countries has decided to retire and devote himself to full-time writing. His first book, which has just been published, is autobiographical and has the title “A strong stomach”. Why this title?

John Reginald:    Well, food really can be a tricky issue. Obviously, as a diplomat you attend many official dinners and you have to learn to negotiate your way though the minefield of rules of etiquette which must be adhered to. As I'm sure you know every country's culture is different - and what is acceptable in one country or culture can be quite inappropriate in another. But the main thing I discovered very early on in the job is that basically you really have to be prepared to eat whatever is set in front of you, and eat it with enthusiasm too. Believe me, that does sometimes necessitate having a strong stomach, hence the title.

Interviewer: Can you give us some examples?

John Reginald:   One that springs to mind, and which I've written about in the book, happened at my first official dinner when I was in my first post, in the Middle East. The main dish was a sheep's head and unfortunately as the guest of honour I was presented with the eyeball, which is regarded over there as a delicacy.

Interviewer: Oh, dear! Did you manage to eat it?

John Reginald: I didn't really have much choice. If I hadn't eaten it, I would have offended my hosts. As simple as that.

Interviewer: Hmm, I don't think I could have coped with that even if a diplomatic incident had happened as a result. So was that the worst thing you've ever been served?

John Reginald:    It was pretty disgusting yes, and among the worst certainly. But there have been many others, I do assure you, that can go into that category. Bat - I had dried bat once when I was in the Pacific Islands - that wasn't very nice either - a bit dry! - needed some gravy - and a bit leathery! It wasn't so much the taste, which was bad enough, but the fact that it was almost impossible to swallow. I seemed to be chewing on it for hours. But I think top of the list is probably snake blood, which was served to me at a meal in Thailand. It can be served as a cocktail or just on its own. It might not have been so bad as a cocktail, mixed with something else to disguise the taste.

Interviewer: What makes something repulsive to eat?

John Reginald:  If I can see what it actually is, it's worse. If I am obviously eating a part of an animal which is recognisable as such then that makes it harder to eat. If what is on your plate is an eyeball then you can't pretend that you are eating something else. For some people smell is the most important factor but I don't have a very good sense of smell, which has been something of a blessing, and yes, taste is important as well. I'm thinking of the raw turtle eggs I ate in Nicaragua. They were fishy, in an extremely unpleasant way.

Interviewer: So what advice would you give to someone in a situation where something is put in front of them that they don't want to eat?

John Reginald:   I'd say: one, don't not eat it. You need to be polite. It could be one of their national dishes. Two, take it easy; eat too fast and you might find that you get some more and, three, pretend you're eating something you like.

Interviewer: The book is doing very well, I believe. I understand it's come in at number twenty on the bestsellers list. You must be very pleased.

John Reginald:   I'm absolutely delighted.

Interviewer: I have to say that I found it very amusing. From the title I thought it was going to be some sort of medical textbook, so I was pleasantly surprised. Is there another book in the pipeline?

John Reginald:  Yes, but the next one will be totally different. My editor wanted me to do a follow-up to this one - again based on my experiences - things that went wrong and almost led to diplomatic incidents. And I had thought about doing a sort of guide book for businessmen who travel abroad - etiquette in different countries - there's a definite market for that especially with the growth of China. But I've recently become very interested in the origins and rationale behind the consumption of food in different countries so that's what it'll be about. Did you know that...

3.T. Great, and now I want you to listen to some useful information about eating and drinking in some countries. Your task is to guess the country, trying to prove your point of view.

    - Meals usually take place in restaurants rather than in private houses. Guests are usually seated according to the rank, with the guests of honour seated to the right of the host. Do not start eating until the host has served the principal guest. Don`t talk business during a meal. Alcohol is practically obligatory. Expect much toasting. Refusing food or drink is impolite. Finish your rice or noodles as a sign of respect for the person who prepared the food, but leave a small amount of other food untouched to indicate that you are satisfied.

                                                                            (China)

•          Bread or breadsticks are an accompaniment to the main meal, so don`t start nibbling until food arrives. Meals consist of many courses with small portions, so pace yourself and don`t ask for seconds. Do not eat food with your fingers (even sandwiches). Always use a knife and a folk. Fruit should be peeled with a knife and eating with a fork. Attract a waiter`s attention by tipping your head back slightly and saying “Monsieur”. Never snap your fingers.

                                                                (France)

•          The drinking age in this country is 16. In many restaurants you are allowed ( and even encouraged) to visit the kitchen to see how the food is being prepared and to decide what would you like to order. Their waiters will leave you to enjoy your meal without continually returning to check that everything is okay. If you are at home, expect to be offered many seconds and thirds at meals. Eating well is a compliment to your hosts. The most common toast is “Kalymata” (“Good Health”). They never rush with coffee; it is savored for at least half an hour. Frappe (chilied coffee) is very popular.

                                                                   (Greece)
