food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth", you might think of
apple pies or chocolate cakes. It's true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of food
you can find in America?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it's hard to find a typical (典型的) "American" food. The United States
is a land of immigrants (移民). So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people moved to
America, they brought their cooking styles (方式、类型) with them. That's why you can find almost every
kind of ethnic (民族) food in America. In some ways, Americans have taken foods from other countries as
favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Chinese egg rolls. But the American ones don't taste quite like the food
where it comes from.
As any large country, the US has several special regions (地区). Each region is proud of its own special
style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Take a trip to New England and taste delicious
seafood dishes. Travel through Midwest for tasty baked food. Travel over Southwest and try good treats.
Finish your food tour in Northwest with some wonderful coffee.
Americans are living at a fast pace (步速). Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from
fried chicken to fried rice. Half-done dinners and fast food make cooking at home very easy. One of the most
popular quick meals is sandwich. If the meat or cheese can be put between two pieces of bread, Americans
probably make a sandwich.
Americans on the go also eat a lot of "junk food". Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and so on are
popular treats. Many people eat too much of these unhealthy food. But others choose for more healthy eating
habits. Some even go "all natural". They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals.
American culture (文化) is a good example of the saying, "You're what you eat."There is different
background and ways of thinking. The kind of foods enjoyed in the US shows all kinds of personal tastes.
The food may be international and regional. Sometimes it's fast, and sometimes it's not so fast. It might be
junk food or maybe it's natural food. No matter what it is, the style is all-American.
B. are easy to prepare
C. have some changes in their taste
D. are healthy and natural
B. Because immigrants to America bring their ways of cooking with them.
C. Because it's easy to make ethnic food.
D. Because Americans like to try new-style cooking.
B. Americans like traveling to different regions
C. There are some special regions in America
D. Americans can enjoy some special food in special regions
B. natural food is the most healthy food
C. all Americans like to eat fast food because it is easy to make
D. the culture of a country decides its food styles
Sometimes, people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese), grains (like bread and rice), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests (建议)how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount (量) of grains, fruit and vegetables, Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate (率) of cancer (癌症) and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.
Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects (影响) us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause (引起) diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.
