  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 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. 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.

  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 about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

1.The topic people spend much time talking about is ________.

[  ]

A.lunch
B.food
C.meat
D.bread

2.People often feel that what others eat is ________.

[  ]

A.normal
B.bad
C.strange
D.terrible

3.According to this text, English people drink tea ________ times every day.

[  ]

A.three
B.four
C.three of four
D.four or five

4.The French drink ________ every day.

[  ]

A.wine
B.tea
C.coffee
D.orange juice

5.People's eating habits ________.

[  ]

A.a(chǎn)re easy to change
B.should be changed
C.a(chǎn)re difficult to change
D.needn't to be changed

In the cold North there is always snow on the ground. Even in summer it is very cold there. Here is the home of the polar bear. He does not mind the cold. He has a coat of thick white fur.

  

  The polar bear likes the cold air as much as you like the warm sunlight. He does not fall on the ice because he has long hair on his paws and he walks very softly. He is very good swimmer and can swim a hundred miles form the shore. In the sea the polar bear catches seals for his dinner.

  

  He often walks over the ice and looks for a place where there is no ice.

  

  He knows that a seal likes to put out its head, so he sits down and watches. When the round head of the seal comes up, the bear jumps at it. He pulls the seal out of the water, kills it and eats it.   Sometimes the bear jumps into the water himself and catches a fish.

  

  In summer the polar bear also looks for berries. When he is very hungry he eats even the seaweed on the shore.

  

  The people who live in the far North hum the polar bear. His meat and fat give them food, his thick skin gives them a warm bed.
