Jan73AOX Passage1 mm\J]Cc` British food has a good reputation, but English cooking has a badone. It is difficult to explain the reason for this. Unfortunately, however,superb raw ingredients are often mined from the kitchen so that they come tothe table without any of the natural flavor and goodness.
?8b?{`@V This bad reputation discourages a lot of people from eating in anEnglish restaurant. If they do go to one, they are usually full of prejudiceagainst the food. It is a pity, because there are excellent cooks in England,excellent restaurants, and excellent home-cooking. How, then, has the badreputation been built up?
io$A
Gi Perhaps one reason is that Britain' s Industrial Revolutionoccurred very early, in the middle of the nineteenth century. As a result, thequality of food changed too. This was because Britain stopped being a largelyagricultural country. The population of the towns increased enormously between1840 and 1870, and people could no longer grow their own food, or buy it freshfrom a farm. Huge quantities of food had to be taken to the towns, and a lot ofit lost its freshness on the way.
noOG$P# This lack of freshness was disguised by "dressing up" thefood. The rich middle classes ate long elaborate meals which were cooked forthem by French chefs. French became, and has remained, the official language ofthe dining room. Out-of-season delicacies were served in spite of theirexpense, for there were a large number of extremely wealthy people who wantedto establish themselves socially. The "look" of the food was moreimportant than its taste.
&'c1"%*%8> In the 1930s, the supply of servant began to decrease. People stilltried to produce complicated dishes, however, but they economized on thepreparation time. The Second World War made things even worse by making rawingredients extremely scarce. As a result, there were many women who never hadthe opportunity to choose a piece of meat from a well-stocked butcher' s shop,but were content and grateful to accept anything that was offered to them.
EmVE<kY. Food rationing continued in Britain until the early 1950s. Itwas only after this had stopped, and butter, eggs and cream became moreplentiful, and it was possible to travel abroad again and taste other ways ofpreparing food, that the English difference to eating became replaced by a newenthusiasm for it.

)G'._ Passage2 E!8FZv8 In his typically American open style of communication, Mr. Hayesconfronted Isabeta about not looking at him. Reluctantly, she explained why. Asa newcomer from Mexico,she had been taught to avoid eye contact as a mark of respect to authorityfigures, teachers, employers, parents. Mr. Hayes did not know this. He theninformed her that most Americans interpret lack of eye contact as disrespectand deviousness. Ultimately, he convinced Isabela to try and change her habit,which she slowly did.
j
#f+0 People from many Asian, Latin American, and Caribbeancultures also avoid eye contact as a sign of respect. Many African Americans,especially from the South, observe this custom, too. A master's thesis by SamuelAvoian, a graduate student at Central Missouri State University, tells howmisinterpreting eye-contact customs can have a negative impact when whitefootball coaches recruit African American players for the teams.
xdd7OSc0{ He reports that, when speaking, white communicators usually lookaway from the listener, only periodically glancing at them. They do theopposite when listening they are expected to look at the speaker all the time.
rr>QG<i;G Many African Americans communicate in an opposite way. Whenspeaking, they tend to constantly stare at the listener; when listening, theymostly look away. Therefore, if white sports recruiters are not informed aboutthese significant differences, they can be misled about interest andattentiveness when interviewing prospective African American ball players.
me_DONW In multicultural America,issues of' Eye contact have brought about social conflicts of two differentkinds in many urban centers, non-Korean customers became angry when Koreanshopkeepers did not look at them directly. The customers translated the lack ofeye contact as a sign of disrespect, a habit blamed for contributing to theopen confrontation raking place between some Asians and African Americans in New York, Texas, and California. Manyteachers too have provided stories about classroom conflicts based on theirmisunderstanding Asian and Latin American children lack of eye contact as beingdisrespectful.
p
EuZsQ On the other hand, direct eye contact has now taken on a new meaningamong the younger generation and across ethnic borders. Particularly in urbancenters, when one teenager looks directly at another, this is considered aprovocation, sometimes called mad-dogging, and can lead to physical conflict.
Hzcy' Mad-dogging has become the source of many campus conflicts. In onehigh school, it resulted in a fight between Cambodian newcomers andAfrican-American students. The Cambodians had been staring at the otherstudents merely to learn how Americans behave, yet the others misinterpretedthe Cambodians' intentions and the fight began.
9%S{fd\# Mad-dogging seems to be connected with the avoidance of eye contactas a sign of respect. Thus, in the urban contemporary youth scene, if one looksdirectly at another, this disrespects, or "disses," that person. Muchlike the archaic phrase "I demand satisfaction," which became theoverture to a duel, mad-dogging may become a prelude to a physical encounter.
W2D^%;mw At the entrances to Universal Studio's "City Walk"attraction in Los Angeles,they have posted Code of Conduct signs. The second rule warns against"physically over bally threatening any person, fighting, annoying othersthrough noisy or boisterous activities or by unnecessary staring..."
