We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的).When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.
Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.
But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos.
Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic(游牧的) people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the me
at can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.

小学同步三练核心密卷系列答案Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小节的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

| True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess! In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was 1 by an armed guerrilla (游击队) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter 2 the young man down the hill where he was to be 3 . But a (n) 4 thing happened. The young man, who had 5 military (军事的) training, was able to disarm (解除武装) the fighter. Now, the table was 6 , and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill. As they walked, 7 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the 8 of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who 9 you." he found he could go no further. He 10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was 11 to go and turned back 12 the hill. Minutes later, he heard footsteps 13 behind him as he walked. "Is this the end after all?" he 14 . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off. But he continued on, 15 glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out 16 for sparing his life. Mercy often wears the face of 17 . And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform that we are challenged to forgive, we hav 18 for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have 19 for our forgiveness. You know who they are. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The 20 can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute (特性) of the strong." Be strong. Forgive. | |||
