A World of Sausage
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of
the most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various
animal parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in their
original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas
of an animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain percentage of fat, along
with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned intestines
of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far
the favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When sausages
are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the simplest method,
smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became
the tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
1. Where is the mixture of meat placed?
A.Inside a plastic package B. Inside a cleaned intestine
C. Inside a refrigerator D. Inside a metal container
2. What won’t be served in their original forms?
A.Certain cuts and parts of animals B. Spices and fillers

4. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?

5. What advice is given in the passage?
A.Be careful when making sausages.
B.Don’t think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.
VI. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Insects on the Menu
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a
person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals.
Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the
ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that
people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and
salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that you
are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!For a lot of people, however, it is difficult
to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling
on the food that we are about to eat. Therefore, being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural.
Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us,
insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to even try them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get
over the “yuck” factor.

A. water bugs B. grasshoppers C. beetles D. crickets
4. Where are insects a regular part of the street food?
A. France B Thailand C. Britain D. All of the above
5. What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be courageous B. Eat very cautiously

Simple Ways to Lose Weight on a Budget
Plan to Cook at Home
Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook your own at
home. Plan out your meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains which will keep you full and are a
cheaper, healthier alternative to rich proteins and more processed grains.
Eat Less
Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right things. Start by
cutting your portions of pricy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and poultry for cheaper vegetarian proteins
like beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your meals.
