  Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.

  The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).

  So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

64. Which of the following is true according to the article?

A. All people have the same feeling about food. 

B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.

C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.  

D. The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.

65. People in different countries  ___ .

A. drink the same sort of wine     B. have the same eating habit

C. eat different kinds of meat     D. have the same tea at different time within a day

66. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat   __ .

A. because they dislike its smell    B. because it is too expensive

C. because it is easy to go bad     D. because they think it will do harm to their health

67. English people drink tea four or five times a day   _  .

A. because they get thirsty easily    B. because there is plenty of tea in Britain

C. because of their drinking habit    D. because they have enough time to do so

  Our surroundings(环境)are being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts cannot prevent it.Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.

  What can explain and solve this problem?The fact is that pollution is caused by man-by his desire(欲望)for a modern way of life.We make“increasing industrialization”(工业化)our chief aim.So we are often ready to offer everything:clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children.There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits(利益)of our modern society.But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

  About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine.I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at the kids

  We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going.I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl.

  One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the other.I remained in the car doing unnecessary things.But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.I hurried as much as I could and thanked her,

  I was really touched by her act of kindness.That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I bought a white Teddy bear for her.the next day, there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father.She was very proud of the bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before

  Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner.As time passes, I don't hear that telling as often as before.
