The taste of McDonalds French fries played a crucial role in the chains success and long praised by customers, competitors, and even food critics. Their distinctive taste does not stem from the kind of potatoes that MacDonalds buys, the technology that processes them, or the restaurant equipment that fires them. The taste of a French fry is largely determined by the cooking oil. For decades McDonalds cooked its French fries in a mixture of about 7 percent cottonseed oil and 93 percent beef tallow. The mixture gave the fires their unique flavor. 2. In 1990, amid a barrage of criticism over the amount cholesterol in its fries, McDonalds switched to pure vegetable oil. This presented the company with a challenge: how to make fries that subtly taste like beef without cooking them in beef tallow. A look at the ingredients in McDonalds French fires suggests how the problem was solved. Toward the end of the list is a seemingly innocuous yet oddly mysterious phrase: “natural flavor”. That ingredient helps to explain not only why the fries taste so good but why most fast food tastes the way it does. 3. Open your refrigerator, your freezer, your kitchen cupboards and look at the labels on our food labels on your food（食物？食品？）. Youll find “natural flavor” or “artificial flavor” in just about every list of ingredients. The similarities between these two broad categories are far more significant than the differences. Both are man-made additives that give most processed food most of its taste. The canning, freezing, and dehydrating techniques used in processing destroy most of foods flavor, and so a vast industry has arisen in the United States to make processed food palatable. Without this flavor industry todays fast food would not exist. B. 请翻译划线部分Imagine you have been chatting for hours on your cellphone and it is running low on power. But instead of looking for the nearest electrical outlet, you recharge the phone with a squirt of clear liquid from a little bottle. That is the vision of Toshiba Corp. and a number of other Japanese electronics companies, which are readying gadgets that will swap their batteries for a long-anticipated alternative energy source: fuel cells. Fuel cells combine hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity, providing power in a way that is potentially cleaner and cheaper than many conventional energy sources. Unlike batteries, fuel cells generate electricity rather than just store it. They dont contain the environmentally hazardous metals or chemicals that most batteries do. In fact, fuel cells in theory dont pollute at all: They combine hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce electricity with only water as exhaust. Toshiba and others are developing fuel cells that run on a type of alcohol called methanol-initially derived from natural gas. Toshibas most basic version of the fuel cell is about the size of a cigarette lighter and can be refilled from a bottle when empty. (Wall Street Journal, October 20th, 2005)C. Studies serve for delight, for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness, and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules is the humour of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without th
