Isn’t it amazing 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 find that people have quite different feelings about food People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly
In most part 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

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 Newzelanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits

A people’s attitude to food B the importance of meat
C strange dishes in the world D food and life
2 The writer think that
A people eat only what is normal to everybody
B people often change their feelings about food
C people have different opinions about food
D people like eating different food as they travel from one country to another

C rice is included in every menu D rice is completely eaten
4 The Japanese enjoy eating raw fish because
A it is not good to have fish cooked B it is special to them
C it is well boiled D it doesn’t smell
5 People everywhere think that
A we can spend few hours talking about food
B there is very little common sense in talking about food
C there is very little common sense in what we say about the eating habits
D we should do much to change our eating habits
