VII. Read the following passage and then choose the best one to the questions
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food ? “ Have you ever
eaten......?” “ What did you have for lunch ?” and so on. And yet when you travel from
one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food.
People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or
silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people
eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, braed is the main part of every meal.Eating,
like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like
to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every
day. Australians drink large amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another .
Horsemeat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating
snakes. Newzelanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat
sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy rawfish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is
little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they
have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

A.people eat only what is normal to everybody B .people often change their feelings

C. strange dishes in the world D. food and life
4. The Japanese enjoy eating raw fish because.............................
A. it doesn’t smell B. it is special to them

about this problem and make suggestions on how to protect the environment.
