E-1 Reading Practice Eating in a Cafeteria
学生在学生餐厅点菜。
(今天是星期四，学生餐厅有中国菜，师傅是上海人。)
师傅，请问今天晚饭有什么好吃的？
我们今天有糖醋鱼，甜甜的、酸酸的，好吃极了，你买一个吧。
好。今天有没有红烧牛肉？
没有。你已经要鱼了，别吃肉了。来个凉拌黄瓜吧？
好。再来一碗米饭。一共多少钱？
糖醋鱼，四块五，凉拌黄瓜，一块七；一碗米饭，五毛钱。一共六块七。
师傅，糟糕，我忘了带饭卡了。
这是十块钱。
找你三块三。
师傅，钱你找错了，多找了我一块钱。
对不起，我没有看清楚。
没关系。
下个星期四再来。
好，再见。

7. 王朋忘了带饭卡， 给了师傅多少钱
8. 师傅找了他多少钱？
9. 师傅找钱找对了吗？
10. 师傅说为什么 他找钱找错了
E-3 Language Notes
1. 师傅 (shīfu, master-worker) is a common term to address a stranger, especially a blue-collar worker such as a taxi driver or a chef.
2. When used after an adjective or a verb, 极了(jí le) usually indicates the superlative degree: 今天热极了。(it is extremely hot today.) 他高兴极了。(he is overjoyed.)
E-4 Special of the Day
Pretend that you are a waiter in a restaurant; you need to recommend and promote your dishes/drinks to the customers. Let’s see how enthusiastic you can be.
Example:
我们的青菜好吃极了。
1. fish raised in soy sauce
2. Spicy Tofu
3. dumplings
4. green tea
5. hot and sour soup
3. 没关系 (méi guānxi, it doesn’t matter): When someone apologizes by saying 对不起 (duìbuqĭ), it is common to respond by saying 没关系 (it doesn’t matter.)
Grammar 6. Reduplication of Adjectives
Some Chinese adjectives can be reduplicated. When monosyllabic adjectives are reduplicated, the accent usually falls on the second occurrence. When the reduplicated monosyllabic adjective takes a “r” suffix, like 慢慢儿 (màn mānr,slow), its second occurrence is usually pronounced in the first tone, regardless what the adjective’s original tone is. Reduplication of adjectives often suggests an approving and appreciative attitude on the speaker’s part.
1. 王朋高高的，很帅。 (Wang Peng is tall and handsome.)
2. 可乐凉凉的，很好喝。 (The cola is nicely chilled and tastes good.)
3. 酸辣汤酸酸的、辣辣的，非常好喝。 (The hot and sour soup is a bit sour and a bit hot; it tastes great.)
Reduplication of adjectives usually does not appear in the negative form.
Grammar 7. The Verb 来 (lái)
In colloquial expressions, the verb 来 (lái) can serve as a substitute for certain verbs, mostly in imperative sentences:
1.先生，你们想吃点儿什么？ (Sir, what would you like?)
来一盘糖醋鱼，一碗酸辣汤，和一碗米饭。 (Give me a plate of sweet and sour fish, a bowl of hot and sour soup, and a bowl of rice, please.)
2. (At a party, when someone has sung a song) 再来一个！ (Encore!)
The use of 来 (lái) in this sense is rather limited. It is usually used in restaurants and stores, especially when buying small things or coaxing someone to sing a song.
E-5 Placing Your Order
Imagine that you are in a restaurant in China, and the waiter is asking you what you want or have. The easiest way to place your order in a Chinese restaurant is by using 来 (lái).
Let’s practice.
Example: x 2 服务员，来两杯冰茶。
1. 3 bowls of fried noodles
2. 1 cup of egg drop soup
3. 1 plate of cold tossed cucumber
4. 2 plates of chicken with vegetables
5. 2 bottles of ice water
E-6. Special Requests
Tell the waitperson that you have special dietary requirements and ask that the chef not to use certain ingredients. Make sure to use 一…也/都不… in your request.
Example: salt
我不吃盐，请师傅 一点儿盐都不要/别放。
1. MSG
2. meat
3. vinegar
4. sugar

E-8 Speaking II
(It’s Thursday. The student cafeteria is serving Chinese food. The chef is from Shanghai.)
Wang Peng: Chef, what’s good for dinner today?
Chef: We’ve got sweet and sour fish. It’s a little sweet and a little sour. It’s delicious. Why don’t you get that?
Wang Peng: Great. Do you have beef braised in soy sauce today?
Chef: No, we don’t. You’ve already got fish, so there’s no need to have meat. How about a cucumber salad?
Wang Peng: All right. Give me a bowl of rice. How much altogether?
Chef: Sweet and sour fish is $4.50, cucumber salad $1.70; one bowl of rice, 50 cents. All together $6.70.
Wang Peng: Shoot, Chef. I forgot to bring my meal card. Here’s $10.
Chef: $3.30 is your change.
Wang Peng: Chef, you’ve given the wrong change. You gave me one dollar extra.

因为中国人多地大，很难说什么菜是典型(xing2, typical)的中国餐。人们常说：北吃咸，南吃甜，中南吃辣，西北吃鲜。意思是：北方人喜欢吃咸的，所以他们炒菜放很多盐，尤其是爱吃咸鸡蛋；南方人喜欢吃甜的点心；中南人（也就是湖南人和四川人）非常喜欢吃辣的；西北人喜欢吃鲜的，尤其是羊肉。不同的地方，菜的味道很不一样。
According to this passage, which statement is the only true one?

8. E-25 Reading Practice (HA)
Culture Highlights
1. "中国菜" 这个词 包括中国食品的所有品种的不同的风格。也描绘中国烹饪风格的不同方式。其中在中国的主要地方菜系是山东系，它起源于山东省北部; 在上海菜系，被在长江下游的人们青睐; 粤菜和川菜系，分别在广东和四川的南部省份为主。一家中国餐馆通常专注于只有一种烹饪方式，但有些也是比较折衷，天南地北，什么风味的菜都有。其实在美国的所谓的中国餐馆就是这样（如此）。
2. 在中国，大米饭是主食，特别是中国的传统水稻种植区，南部。在北方，主食往往由面（面条）饺子，和馒头代替。
3. 在中国的饮食文化，刀属于在厨房里，而不是在餐桌上。厨师通过用刀切割食物，尤其是肉类，切成小块后再炒。众所周知，大多数中国人吃饭不用叉子，而用一双筷子。
4. 自1990年代以来，美国的快餐店，如肯德基 (Kěndéjī, KFC)，麦当劳（Màidāngláo, McDonald’s）和必胜客（Bìshèngkè, and Pizza Hut ）已经如雨后春笋般突然出现在中国城市。他们都享有繁荣的商业。美国快餐的“肥胖“不但没有吓走大多数中国客户，而且很受欢迎的，尤其是年轻人和儿童，常常与朋友去美国的快餐店。这些美国餐厅之所以在中国的成功，是因为他们至少一部分是由于作出适应当地口味的努力。比如说，肯德基，除了卖传统的炸鸡翅，现在也提供 豆浆(dòujiāng, soybean milk) 和 油条 (yóutiáo, deep-fried dough sticks) 。因为这是典型的中国人喜欢吃的早餐。麦当劳现在也销售鸡卷（jījuǎn，鸡卷）
