Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at a yuppie dinner party?
Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for most people. If you are invited to a yuppie dinner party, don’t be surprised if you are offered freshly -cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful executives are often seen to eat fried or boiled insets from time to time while working at their desks. These safe -to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to exotic food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Al- though the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens, and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great duty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as the food item in supermarkets. According to their fans, they are not only high in protein and low in fat, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally, it seems that insect-eaters will remain a selected few.
选项
A、Because we might be offered a dish of insects.
B、Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served
C、Because some yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food.
D、Because we might meet many successful executives in the media industry.
答案
A
解析
出题点在文章开头。参加雅皮士的party 不要因为看到第一道菜上来的是昆虫而感到吃惊“If you are invited to a yuppie dinner party,don’t be surprised if you are offered freshly-cooked insects as a first course,”。答案选A。
