Famous American Foods
What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It's chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.
From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues.
Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.
But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken's real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.
Her new book, "The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup", looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, "There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill".
In addition, "soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon" are considered "comfort foods" Sheraton said. "I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder," Sheraton said from her New York home.
Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.
The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______
A.Prominent American Foods
B.History of the Chicken Soup
C.Chicken Soup Recipes
D.Chicken Soup, a Universal Cure-All

听力原文:W: John, I' m really hungry !
M: Just get anything you want, it' s on me today. I' m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.
W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.
M: Me, too. The formula of McDonald' s is really special.
W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald' s.
M: It' s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people' s tastes and preferences in different areas.
W: Right. Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!
M: But I' ve heard that McDonald' s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.
W: Yeah. It' s just so difficult to stay competitive when there are so many fast food chains in the States. I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.
M: It seems that they' re doing better overseas, ' because they' re really able to sell American culture.
W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.
