Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet．Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life，from my grandparents，school friends，parents，wife and son．Since the invention of e-mail though，they've been few and far between．
   Tonight is New York's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at．But first there's something I have to do - The Ritual（慣例）．
   I go to my trusted computer and start．I begin to type：Dear --．I leave the name blank for now，anticipating the thrill of typing it in． "I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you．And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal？Did your son marry Fiona？Is your mother still alive？Questions surge into my mind．
   For the next two hours I sit writing．About what I've been doing for the last year，my failing health，my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage．Then about my goals and ambitions．Will he be interested？Do I climb Mt．Kilimanjaro？Do I get that novel published？the one that's been rejected more times than I care to think about．
    Finally，it's finished．11：30 pm．I fill in the recipient's name，print my letter，sign and address it and then seal it up with tape．I then delete the document and empty the trash folder - to avoid the possibility of temptation．That completes the ritual!
    I walk over to my "special box"．It contains ten long，white，thick envelopes，all with the same handwriting．I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front．It's dated 2019，and labelled "to be opened 31st December 2029"．
   The cycle is finally complete!I open it，trembling with anticipation．I begin to read，my eyes tearing up a little as I do so．Throughout the last ten long，eventful years，of life，death，joy and heartbreak，it has been waiting patiently in this box for me，though I now have no memory of ever having written it．

2．Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world．Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish？But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West，and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East - the ancient custom of tonic food．
   Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness．For instance，it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth．It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles，reduce pain，improve circulation，stimulate sweating，and warm the body．Some foods，such as goat meat and spinach （菠菜），are seen as "hot"，while others，such as Chinese cabbage and radishes （小蘿卜），are seen as "cold"．One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot" or "cold" food．However，how much "hot" or "cold" food one should eat depends on the time of the year，how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with，and the individual's health．
   The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry．Chinese herbal medicines，such as the wolfberry （枸杞子），can be found on many a restaurant menu，either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish．These herbs attract customers，such as overworked office staff，in need of a modest pick-me-up．
   So，whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup，or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup，you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for．

（1）What is the present situation of tonic food？

A．It is catching less attention．
B．It is enjoyed by many young people．
C．It is well known worldwide．
D．It is becoming increasingly popular．
（2）What is believed to benefit new mothers？

A．Chinese cabbage．
B．Fruit tea．
C．Sesame oil hotpot．
D．Pig brain soup．
（3）Which of the following best explains "catering" underlined in Paragraph 3？

A．Medicine．
B．Restaurant．
C．Education．
D．Fashion．
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

A．The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B．The Popularity of Tonic Food
C．An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food
D．Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
