A
In 1996, three men in California were taken to a hospital with strange symptoms (症状). They felt dizzy, tired, and weak. They couldn’t speak, and they had trouble breathing. The hospital doctors thought the men had been poisoned, but couldn’t work out what was wrong with them. Then they found out the three men were all chefs, and they had just shared a dish of fugu.
Fugu, the Japanese name for the puffer fish, is one of the strangest fish in the ocean. The puffer fish gets its name from the way the fish protects itself from enemies. Whenever it is attacked, the fish blows up its body to over twice its normal size!
The reason the three men were taken to the hospital is because the puffer fish is very poisonous. As a rule, if you eat a whole puffer fish, you will probably die. The three men had a close call, but they all survived.
The reason the three men were taken to the hospital is because the puffer fish is very poisonous. As a rule, if you eat a whole puffer fish, you will probably die. The three men had a close call, but they all survived.
The symptoms of fugu poisoning are a strange feeling around the mouth and throat, and difficulty breathing. You can’t breathe and your body can’t get any air. Your brain still works perfectly, however, so you know you are dying, but you can’t speak or do anything about it.
Despite the danger of fugu poisoning, this strange, ugly, and very poisonous fish is actually a very expensive, and very popular, kind of food in Japan. Customers pay up to $200 per person to eat a fugu meal. Because of the danger, fugu can only be prepared by chefs with a special licence from the government. These chefs are trained to identify and remove the poisonous parts of the fish. Most people who die from eating fugu these days are people who have tried their hand at preparing the fish themselves.
Fugu is said to be so delicious that it has even started to be imported(进口) into Hong Kong and the United States. Several tons of fugu are now exported from Japan every year.
51. The best title for this passage should be ________.
A. A Dangerous Dish B. Fishing in Japan
C. The History of Fugu D. A Talented Chef
52. Why were the three men taken to the hospital?
A. Someone poisoned them. B. They ate poisonous fish.
C. They poisoned each other. D. A doctor worked out their symptoms.
53. When an enemy tries to eat a puffer fish, it ________.
A. eats the enemy B. makes poison C. looks very ugly D. becomes bigger
54. Which is NOT a symptom of fugu poisoning?
A. Breathing difficulty. B. Tiredness and weakness.
C. Your brain stops working. D. Trouble speaking.
