C篇
Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 AD when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don’t know exactly when chopsticks were invented. Research shows that they didn’t come into wide use until about 300 BC． Chinese thinker Confucius (孔子) was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives at the table.
The “no-knives-on-the-table” rule brought a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This practice produced the unique style of Chinese cooking that has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. “I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth.” Eric’s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. “ But it’s worth learning. I have learnt a lot from this experience,” Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn’t just provide energy. It also brings happiness. Chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom.
21．Why did the ancient Chinese invent chopsticks?
A．Because they were hungry.B．Because they didn’t like food.
C．Because they liked eating with hands.D．Because they wanted to keep their hands clean.
22．Who thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal?
A．Eric.B．Chinese.C．Confucius.D．Western people.
23．What led to a big change in Chinese cooking?
A．Using chopsticks.B．The “no-knives-on-the-table” rule.
C．Using knives during a meal.D．Cutting food into small pieces.
24．How do many Westerners feel about using chopsticks?
A．It brings them happiness.B．It is difficult to use chopsticks.
C．Using chopsticks is a kind of skill.D．It is important to learn how to use chopsticks.
25．Where is this passage most likely from?
A．A science report.B．A history textbook.
C．A culture magazine.D．A restaurant interview.
