Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though
16、 Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.Its thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away
17、 from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britains consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. Ther
18、e has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encourage
19、d them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients （酉己$4） than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.

The art of cooking in other countries.B. Male chefs on TV programmes.C. Table manners in the UK.D. Studies of big eaters.If yo
23、u want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity5s later achievements, and
24、 until fairly recently even many literate （有文字的） societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply cant The clearest example of this betwee
25、n literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cooks voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captains record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield （盾）dro
26、pped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victorie
27、s accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories.

28、, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact （联系）between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one

How past events should be presented. B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words. D. Why wr
