Unit 1 Food matters Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading(1) Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。 Ask any American what he or she is doing on the first Sunday in February and the answer is likely to be either hosting or attending a Super Bowl party. Played between the AFC and NFC champions for the title of the National Football League Champion, Super Bowl is the most watched annual television program in the United States. A Super Bowl party is more than just a 60?minute football game—it is a well?designed production that features half?time performances, fireworks shows and television ads that people discuss for days.① But most important of all, it is the day to set aside all diets and enjoy foods one would normally avoid or at least not consume at the same time. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest food consumption days in the US—second only to Thanksgiving.② The noshing will start early in the day, long before matches begin and continue long. As a result, it is estimated that on Sunday, the nation will consume 11.2 million pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and 3 million pounds of nuts.③ When the real hunger pangs start to hit, they will seek out comfort foods. Not surprisingly, pizzas top the list. Chicken wings are also very popular. It is estimated that almost 1.3 billion wings will be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. Other favorites include bacon, hot dogs and burgers. But the food consumption is not without consequences. Data released indicates that antacid(解酸药) sales increase by 20% on the Monday following the big game. Additionally, over seven million Americans call in sick. It is no wonder that fans have been urging the government to declare Super Bowl Monday a holiday.④ 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 ( ) 1.
