When we travel around the world, trying local food is always a wonderful experience. Let’s learn about some popular food and eating customs in different places. In China, dumplings are a kind of traditional food with a long history. People usually eat dumplings during the Spring Festival. Making dumplings is also a warm family activity. All family members get together to make dumplings on New Year’s Eve. There are different fillings, such as pork, vegetables and eggs. People believe eating dumplings can bring good luck for the new year. Besides dumplings, noodles are also popular in China. Long noodles stand for long life, so people often eat them on their birthdays. In France, bread is the main food. French people eat bread almost every meal. They like soft and fresh bread best. Croissants are world-famous French bread. Many French people have croissants and coffee for breakfast. They pay much attention to eating manners. They never talk loudly while eating, and they use forks and knives properly all the time. In Mexico, tacos are the most famous food. A taco is a kind of pancake with meat, vegetables and special sauce inside. It tastes spicy and delicious. Mexicans love spicy food very much. They also like to eat fruit after meals. Most Mexican families have three main meals a day, and they usually have a big lunch. Eating customs are different across the world, but one thing is the same: food connects people. When we enjoy nice food, we can feel the warmth of life and different cultures. It’s a good idea to respect different eating habits when we meet people from other countries. ( )21. What do Chinese people eat on birthdays for long life? A. Dumplings B. Noodles C. Bread D. Tacos ( )22. What is the main food in France? A. Rice B. Noodles C. Bread D. Pancakes ( )23. From the passage, we can know tacos are ______. A. sweet B. spicy C. sour D. salty ( )24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Chinese people eat dumplings only on birthdays. B. French people talk loudly when they have meals. C. Mexicans usually have a big lunch every day. D. Croissants are popular Mexican food. ( )25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to make different foreign food. B. Different food cultures in different countries. C. The history of traditional Chinese food. D. Popular drinks around the world. B If you want to keep healthy, having good eating habits is very important. However, many teenagers have bad eating habits these days. They often skip breakfast, eat too much junk food and drink lots of sugary drinks. These bad habits bring many health problems. Now let’s talk about how to develop healthy eating habits. First, never skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of a day. After a long night’s sleep, your body needs enough energy to start a new day. A good breakfast should include grain, eggs, milk and fresh fruit. Studies show that teenagers who eat breakfast every day are more energetic and do better in school. If you are in a hurry in the morning, you can prepare simple food like bread and milk the night before. Second, stay away from junk food. Junk food such as hamburgers, fried chips and ice cream tastes nice, but it has too much fat, sugar and salt. Eating too much junk food will make you heavy and cause stomach problems. Instead, you can choose healthy snacks like apples, carrots and nuts when you feel hungry between meals. They can give you nutrition without hurting your body. Third, drink enough water every day. Our body is mostly made up of water. Water helps our body work well. Doctors suggest teenagers drink at least eight cups of water every day. Try not to drink cola, juice and other sugary drinks. They have lots of sugar and will make you feel thirsty easily. You can add a little lemon to water if you think plain water is boring. Fourth, eat slowly and regularly. Don’t eat too fast. If you eat too quickly, your stomach will not have enough time to digest food. It will cause discomfort. Also, try to have meals at fixed time every day. Don’t eat too much before going to bed, because it is hard to digest food at night. Good eating habits are the foundation of good health. It is not difficult to form these habits. Just keep doing them every day, and you will have a strong body. ( )26. Why is breakfast so important? A. It helps people sleep well. B. It provides energy for the whole day. C. It can help people lose weight. D. It makes people relax. ( )27. Which food is a healthy snack? A. Fried chips B. Hamburgers C. Nuts D. Ice cream ( )28. How much water should teenagers drink every day according to doctors? A. At least six cups B. At least seven cups C. At least eight cups D. At least nine cups ( )29. What problem will eating too fast cause? A. Stomach discomfort B. Headache C. Toothache D. Sore throat ( )30. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s OK to skip breakfast when you are busy. B. Sugary drinks are better than plain water. C. We’d better eat meals on time. D. Eating much food before bedtime is good. C Nowadays, more and more people love home-cooked food. Some people even spend their free time learning to cook different dishes. Cooking at home has become a new popular hobby among young people. There are many reasons why people like cooking at home. First of all, home-cooked food is healthier. When we eat in restaurants, we don’t know how the food is made. Some restaurants use too much oil and salt to make food taste better. But when we cook at home, we can control the amount of oil, salt and sugar. We can choose fresh vegetables and meat. So home-made dishes are much cleaner and healthier for our bodies. Secondly, cooking at home can save money. The dishes in restaurants are usually expensive. A simple meal for two people may cost over 100 yuan. However, if you cook at home, you can buy all the ingredients in supermarkets at low prices. The same food will cost you less than half the price. It is really a good way to cut down daily cost. Thirdly, cooking is a great way to relax. Many young people are busy with study or work all day long. When they stay in the kitchen and cook delicious food, they can forget all their tiredness and stress. The smell of nice food makes people feel warm and happy. Some people say cooking is like creating works of art. Every dish you make is your own work. What’s more, cooking brings family members closer. When the whole family sits together to enjoy the food you cook, you will feel a strong sense of happiness. You can talk and laugh while eating. It creates a warm family atmosphere. You can also invite your friends to your home and share your cooking with them. It is a wonderful way to communicate with friends. Cooking is a useful life skill. It not only brings us delicious food, but also makes our life more colorful. Why not have a try and learn to cook some simple dishes in your free time? ( )31. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to learn to cook well. B. Reasons for loving home-cooked food. C. Popular dishes in restaurants. D. Ways to make family happy. ( )32. Home-cooked food is healthier because ______. A. It has special tastes B. We can choose fresh food and control seasoning C. It is cooked for a long time D. It has more kinds of ingredients ( )33. Cooking at home can help people ______. A. Make more friends B. Learn new skills quickly C. Save money and relax D. Travel around the world ( )34. The underlined word “ingredients” in Paragraph 3 means ______ in Chinese. A. 厨具 B. 食材 C. 菜单 D. 餐具 ( )35. Which advantage of cooking at home is NOT mentioned? A. It makes people smarter. B. It is good for health. C. It brings family closer. D. It helps people relax. D Different festivals have different traditional food. Food is an important part of festival culture. Let’s know about traditional food on some famous western festivals. Thanksgiving Day is a big festival in America. It falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year. On this day, families get together to have a big dinner. Roast turkey is the most necessary food for Thanksgiving dinner. People also eat pumpkin pies, sweet potatoes and corn. The first Thanksgiving came out in 1621. The early settlers shared food with local Indians to give thanks for the good harvest. From then on, having turkey on Thanksgiving became a tradition. Christmas is the biggest festival in many western countries. It is on December 25th. During Christmas, people prepare lots of delicious food. Christmas cake and Christmas cookies are popular desserts. In Britain, people love eating Christmas pudding. It is a sweet pudding with dried fruit. In Germany, people often make Christmas bread. Families will put different food on the dinner table and enjoy the big meal together on Christmas Eve. Easter is another important western festival. It doesn’t have a fixed date. It is on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. Easter eggs are the symbol of Easter. People color eggs into different colors and give them to family and friends. Besides eggs, hot cross buns are traditional Easter food. These small buns have a cross on the top, which stands for good wishes. Children love eating them very much. Halloween is on October 31st. It is a fun festival for kids. On that night, children wear different masks and go door to door to ask for candies. Candies are the most popular food on Halloween. People also make pumpkin lanterns and cook pumpkin soup. Some families make special scary-shaped cookies to match the festival atmosphere. Festive food carries people’s best wishes. Understanding festival food can help us know more about western culture. ( )36. What is the main food on Thanksgiving Day? A. Pumpkin soup B. Roast turkey C. Easter eggs D. Christmas cake ( )37.
