The job sounded interesting: (1) fashion house in the city centre. The telephone conversations I (2)
had with them were relaxed and friendly, and the letter from the boss had also been a friendly (3). He had
invited me to visit the office and join some of them for lunch. The (4) was at twelve oclock.
I naturallu thought long and hard about (5) to wear. In the fashion (6), of course, you were expected
to be smart. The question was (7) to be businesslike or fashionable. There was something (8) to
think about, too. I had to get there by train and bus. The journey was over two hours, and that (9) the clothes
you choose.

at (11) everything was new and expensive.

The boss was just as friendly as his letter had been. We looked (14) the office, chatted about the business,
and finally went out for lunch. They had chosen a smart restaurant (15), where the boss was (16)
well-known. The restaurant manager greeted him (17) name. Then he caught sight (18) me. He
shook his head apologetically, and smiled. Sorry, he said, the house rules were quite (19). No one in jeans
would be admitted.

VII c on vn sau, chn cu tr li thch hp nht:
Food and ideas about cooking it have been passing from one part of the world to another ever since the stone age
revolution began in the Middle East. They were part of the spread of civilization, though since people change their tastes
in painting and architecture much faster in food, knowledge of what was eaten is far less than knowledge of the houses
that were lived in or the clothes that were worn. Cookery books were few before the 17 th century and how close are the
general eating habits at any period to the cookery books published?
Change owed more to the movement of people, or armies, of merchants, of wealthy landowners, than to books. Before
canals, the railways, good roads, most people ate what could be produced within a thirty-mile area. Ports did better, of
course, if they were on a big trade route. For most people food was basically regional food and there was not always
enough of it either. Even in good areas, poor country people had little to eat since most of what they produced went for
sale at local markets. Only wealthy men could buy expensive seeds to grow unusual vegetables, or employ gardeners
who understood how to grow fine fruit unfamiliar to the place they live in, or afford cooks trained elsewhere to provide
variety at mealtimes.
The undoubted advantages of present day large-scale manufacture and organization outstanding cleanliness, quick
distribution, prices that allow far more people than ever in the past to satisfy their hunger have not so far come to us
together with an excellent quality of flavour. Moreover, in a world where possibilities are endless, business seems to try to
limit choice beyond a certain level. Of the 300 varieties of pear that are listed by one French 17 th century gardener even
though he had to admit that only 30 of them were really worth eating only about half a dozen are now produced in
Europe.
