5.How do you eat potatoes?Potato chips and potato stewed with beef are popular choices.But can you imagine that in the future potatoes will be served as a staple food (主食) on your table?Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple food after rice,wheat and corn,according to the Ministry of Agriculture in January,2015.This is a welcome move to make Chinese people's staple food more balanced and diversified (多樣的).
But why is potato the choice?
Potatoes are healthy and nutritious.They are a good source of vitamin C and potassium (鉀).A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples.What's more,potatoes are low in calories,only three fourths of the same amount of wheat and corn.So if you are worried about your weight,you can try changing to potatoes.
Also,potatoes are easy to grow.They can be grown in the north and south during winter,spring and autumn.The plant is also able to bear drought.With China facing water shortages,potatoes can become a safe and reliable food.And some products made of potatoes can be stored longer than other staple foods.Flour that is made of potato can be stored for as long as 15 to 20 years,according to Beijing Times.
With these advantages,the potato has long been a popular staple food in many Western countries such as the US and UK.They can be made into different foods including bread,cookies and pancakes.
While in China,because of Chinese eating habits,the potato will be cooked differently.It will be made into noodles,steamed bread and other staple foods similar to those made of rice or wheat.

35.Dtell(s) us why people choose potatoes as staple food.

B.Paragraph 3

A.An apple's vitamin C is much more than a potato's.
B.Calories of potatoes are only 75% of the same amount of wheat and corn.
C.Potatoes can be grown in the north and south all year around.
D.Flour made of wheat can be stored longer than that made of potato
