In 1959,Chiang went to the U.S., where she paid $10,000 to help two men rent a restaurant. But they backed out on the deal and the money couldnt be returned. Rather than lose the funds,

20、 Chiang decided to make it herself.Chiang was shocked by the food most Americans considered to be Chinese-like chop suey(炒杂碎）and chow mein(炒面）. “They think these are the only food we have in China, ” she said with a laugh. She introduced Americans to an entirely new set of dishes from northern China

21、, Sichuan, and Hunan. Her high-end restaurant Mandarin opened on Polk Street. At the Mandarin,visitors could enjoy dishes that are very common today but many Americans had never tried before- pot stickers, Peking duck and hot and sour soup.The restaurant wasnt immediately successful, but about a yea

22、r after opening,the Mandarin received a mention from the San Francisco Chronicles Herb Caen. The effect of the writers article was powerful. Tourists, officials and famous stars -from Mae West to John Lennon-crowded the Mandarin for then-unfamiliar food like tea-smoked duck and twice-cooked pork.“Ce

23、cilia single-handedly brought traditional regional Chinese food to the American table, ” said Martin Yan, cook and longtime host of the PBS cooking program“Yan Can Cook”.

27、hinese cook in the U. S.D. Cecilia Chiang popularized Chinese food in the U. S.CIf you dont use it, you lose it. At least, thats how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something which does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. Muscles, for example, will waste awa

28、y without use. In order to resist（抵制） this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline. In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia(痴呆)，which Im sure you will agree, no one wa

29、nts. However, all is not lost because these days its relatively easy to train your brain. Smart phones and apps have put programmes into our hands that can test, maintain and even improve our memories, mathematical skills and a lot of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can

30、keep our brains nice and sharp, right?Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people thought it was important to play online games, such as puzzles and mind games, which are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits was

36、ing increasingly unbearable over the years due to climate change, the cooling load（冷负荷） in the summertime has also been on the rise. Insulation (隔热)is currently the main solution for blocking heat from entering a building, but by applying an additional material that can delay heat penetration(渗透),it

37、 can prevent the indoor temperature from rising and in turn lower the cooling load of the building.A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside. The team directed by Dr. Sarng Woo Karng from KIST showed that th

38、ey have successfully done it through building walls by applying a phase change （形态变化）material (PCM). One of the most common types is paraffin oil, which is used to make candles.A solid PCM absorbs heat as it changes into liquid phase, so by using a case to hold it when it is in liquid phase without

39、causing any leakage (渗漏)，it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside.The problem, however, is that the PCM turns into liquid starting from the outermost layer, and the parts that are hot move upward, while the parts that are still relatively cool move downward.

40、 Thus, while the upper part may have completely melted, the lower part will have not, and as a result, heat will penetrate into the building through the area where the PCM is in liquid phase. In the end, the PCM becomes ineffective in controlling the indoor temperature.Dr. Karngs team dealt with the

41、 non-uniform phase change with bubble injections（注入）. By injecting bubbles into the bottom part of the PCM enabled uniform circulation (流动)of the PCM in liquid phase. Dr. Karng said, “We expect that the insulating wall using the PCM bubble generator used in this study will contribute to reducing the

42、 amount of energy used to heat or cool a building. Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration, in combination with the building insulating material, and it can also be used as the outer walls of zero-energy buildings.32. What kind of function do PCMs serve according to the text

43、?A. Lowering heat penetration.B. Making the walls stronger.C. Being used to make candles.D. Perfecting the building walls.33. Why is a case used when the PCM is in liquid phase?A. To test its effect.B. To avoid the risks.C. To block the heat.D. To stay in shape.34. What is the problem when PCMs turn

44、 into liquid phase from the solid one?A. Theyll cause heat increase.B. Theyll lower heat penetration.C. They dont melt evenly（均衡地）.D. Theyre hard to operate.35. What can we infer about insulation techniques using PCMs?A. They are imperfect. B. They are ineffective.C. They are low-cost. D. They are e
