Hot pot(火锅) is many Chinese people’s favorite and Liu Yang is one of them.

Three days ago, Liu Yang arrived in England. There he had three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes. Yesterday he was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a meal of hotpot to welcome the new students.

He went into the room and sat next to an American girl. To his surprise, he saw potatoes and bread in front of him. Where was the hot pot?

When she saw Liu Yang was very surprised, the American girl told him that hotpot is NOT hot pot. China has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.

Hotpot is made from meat, potatoes and onions. People put it in the oven(烤箱) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. It is easy to cook.

Hotpot tastes fine. But Liu Yang still misses hot pot, two words!

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是刘洋非常喜欢吃火锅，有一次他去了英国，整天的吃汉堡、三明治，他都吃腻了。当他听说要吃火锅来欢迎新学生的时候，他很兴奋。结果发现英国是hotpot并不是中国的火锅。

【1】根据短文的开头Hot pot(火锅) is many Chinese people’s favorite and Liu Yang is one of them可知，火锅是很多中国人最喜欢的食物，由此可知这个问题的答案是肯定的。

【2】根据短文第二段的开头Three days ago, Liu Yang arrived in England可知，刘洋在三天前到达了英国，故本题答案是Three days ago。

【3】根据短文中When she saw Liu Yang was very surprised, the American girl told him that hotpot is NOT hot pot可知，一个美国的女孩告诉刘洋hotpot不是hot pot。故答案是An American girl。

【4】根据短文中China has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.可知，中国的火锅是两个单词hot pot，而英国是一个单词hotpot。故答案是China。
