Today,chopsticks have become a typical part of Chinese culture,symbolising the power of unity.39However,ten pairs of chopsticks represent strength,which means they won't break off in any-cases.We Chinese people draw on this spirit,which always inspires and encourages us to work hand in hand for a better future. A.Therefore,Chinese people cleverly invented chopsticks ta pick food. B As a result,spoons were designed and preferred by Westerners C.But to his surprise.the Chinese people use chopsticks;spoons. D.Se fhese virtues()have gradually become the rules people follow in their daily life. E.Besides,never point at people with your chopsticks while using them. F.Indeed,one chopstick is useless and so delicate that it can be broken readily. G There are some rules about using chopsticks that you should pay great attention to. 北京市第一零九中学礼 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40至41题每小题2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成 对该问题的回答。把此题的答案写在苍题纸上。 Why Learning a New Language Is Good for the Whole Family Ever thought of making language learning part of your family's activities?Learning a new language together can have unexpected emotional benefits for the whole family.
