Chinese food is popular all over the world, but one group who fight against it is vegetarians (素食主义者). Meat is nearly always on the table, no matter what part of China you are in. It is so common that Zhang Xiuyan has long grown used to the difficulties of being a vegetarian in China.
The 67-year-old woman cannot eat meat because it causes her uncomfortable feeling in stomach. “Every time I go out, I meet the same situation,” she says. “I tell them ‘I don’t eat meat, so in the soup, please don’t include chicken or duck. But when they serve it, there’s always a little bit of meat.”
Ms Zhang says it’s sometimes just a problem of communication. “For example, when they serve green beans, there is a bit of meat in the dish. I say ‘how come there’s still meat?’” she says.

D. Going out camping or walking.
“And the waiter look and say, ‘Oh that? That shouldn’t be a problem!’”
Ms Zhang is among 50 million Chinese who are believed to be vegetarians, about 4 per cent of the 1.3 billion population. Traditionally in poorer times, meat was a luxury (奢侈). But times are changing, and with them, so are cultural attitudes (态度).
Belle Zhang from Beijing is another vegetarian who has also had difficulties at restaurants. “At home of the noodle restaurants here, even if you order a bowl with no meat, the soup is always made from meat,” she says. “we vegetarians can always taste it!” She says a recent trip with friends up to China’s Northeast proved more difficult than other parts of the country.
“The food in the Northeast is really meaty, so there wasn’t a single dish we ordered that was vegetarian, ” she says. “Every plate on the table in one way or another had a little bit of meat in it.” 28. Why does Ms Zhang dislike eating meat? A. Because she loves animals. B. Because she wants to keep fit. C. Because it does harm to her health. D. Because she is a picky eater (挑食者).

Cathy Krause, who works as an emergency dispatcher (紧急调度员) at the Rockwood Police Department, is tired of getting calls from children, most of which are usually a joke. However, a phone call from 5-year-old Jackson McManus who said his father was in trouble was the real deal.
“I’ve not had the call like this before,” Krause said as she spoke about the 911 call. Krause was able to calm the boy down and ask him questions to help police find his location and also gather information about the situation. “I asked him plenty of questions and he was so good,” she said. “He was a little nervous in the beginning, but he did everything I asked him to do.” Krause asked Jackson if his father was awake. Jackson went to check on his father who couldn’t give any replies when he called out his name. This led Krause to believe that the man was unconscious (无意识).
Jackson told his father’s name but she was still unable to locate the address. She then asked the boy where he went to school and told him to look at the garage and see if there were any numbers.
