一、根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。

Lebkuchen cookie (姜饼曲奇) is one of the oldest and most popular Christmas foods in Germany. People first created these cookies during the Middle Ages, in the city of Nuremberg. At that time, Nuremberg was a centre of the spice trade (香料贸易). People there used honey and spices, like ginger to make these cookies.

At first, people cooked Lebkuchen cookies for religious (宗教的) holidays or sending them to others during winter festivals. By the 1500s, they became closely connected with Christmas. From then on, eating Lebkuchen cookies together during Christmas became a tradition, encouraging togetherness among people. People who made Lebkuchen cookies in Nuremberg even formed a guild (a special group) to protect their secret recipes! The cookies usually had shapes like hearts or stars, with messages like “Love” or “Joy” on them. Lebkuchen cookies carry symbolism. The spices mean warmth and protection during cold winters, while honey symbolizes sweetness and long life. Today, heart-shaped Lebkuchen cookies are still popular with many people, ranking (排名) only after the Elisenlebkuchen cookies in popularity, symbolizing love and care.

Nowadays, Lebkuchen cookies are a must-have at German Christmas markets, especially in Nuremberg. Families enjoy having them with hot drinks or hanging them as decorations. As society develops (社会发展), people now add something new, like chocolate or fruit, to Lebkuchen cookies. Although they changed over time,

Lebkuchen cookies still connect Germans to their history.

Although Chinese food appeared in the United States as early as the 1850s, it did not start to become popular among Americans until about 100 years later, and that was largely because of one woman: Joyce Chen.

Chen, who was born on September 14, 1917 in Beijing, disliked cooking when

she was a young kid. But when she was preparing her first meal at the age of eighteen, she fell in love with cooking.

In 1949, Chen and her family moved to Cambridge, America. There she often cooked food for many tourists. Noticing the growing number of Chinese immigrants (移民) who wanted to have Chinese food, Chen decided to open her first restaurant called “Joyce Chen Restaurant” in 1958. The restaurant served a mix of Chinese and American dishes at the beginning. However, the American ones started to disappear from the menu as Chinese dishes became more and more popular, resulting in people starting to wait in line.

After two years, Chen began teaching cooking classes. In 1962, her first cookbook came out. The cookbook taught people how to use chopsticks, drink traditional Chinese tea, and understand many other important Chinese traditions. Her cookbook turned out to be a big success.

She opened her restaurant for many tourists, followed by two growing ones in 1969 and 1973, before passing away in Kentucky in 1994.

Joyce Chen introduced (引进) Chinese food to America. She made a big difference to American culture. Her photo was shown on a US stamp (邮票) in 2014. And on September 14 every year, there is a “Festival of Dumplings”.
