微阶段刷题过关卷二 (时间：70分钟　分值：85分) Unit 1　Developing ideas & Presenting ideas 第Ⅰ卷(满分25分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分) A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds，” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realised that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbours would go door­to­door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready­made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbours and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don't think it's right to criticise one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It's not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected to their culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者意识到许多中国人都有嗑瓜子的习惯，这是受传统风俗的影响，可见饮食习惯来自某一文化。 1. What did the writer become aware of?
