VI. Read the following passage and choose the best completion for each sentence:
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 eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In
England, people eat potatoes everyday. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating,
like so many things we do, become 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 everyday. Australian drink large amount
of beer, and the French drink wine everyday.
The sort of meal people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought
to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snake. New Zealanders eat sheep meat,
but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy
eating raw fish.
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 eaten, and there is very little
we can do to change our eating habits.
