like a dragon.2.What are the people doing?The guests are sitting at the tables sharing the food.A man is shooting a video.There are other people walking on the street.3.Where and when do you think the photo was taken?Maybe it was taken in an ethnic minority village in the mountains of China.We can see tables laid end to end without a gap along the street like a long dragon,and local people are enjoying the long table banquet.The visual spectacle,made of assorted delicacies（各种美味佳肴）and people sitting together,is really breathtaking.Reading and ThinkingUnderstand the link between food and

available to the people,and a lot about the kinds of flavours the people prefer.1.What is the title of the text?Culture and cuisine.2.What can you see from the pictures in the text?We can see food.Prediction3.What do you think the word“cuisine”in the title means?“Cuisine”means food cooked in a certain way.4.What kinds of food are they?They are Chinese food.5.What do you think the text is about?Maybe its about different kinds of Chinese food and the culture each food represents.1.Read the text to find out what the author means by the quote“You are what you eat”.The author actually means the kinds of food we eat reflect something about our personalities,character,and culture.Reading for gist2.What is the function of the first paragraph?The first paragraph functions as an introduction to the topic.3.Which is the topic paragraph?The last paragraph.4.Which is the topic sentence of the last paragraph?What we can say,however,is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand,and if you do not experience one,you can never really know the other.5.In what order does the author talk about his experiences?In the order of time.Reading for structure and text type1.What is the main idea of each paragraph?2.How many parts can this passage be divided into?Para.1Para.2Para.3Para.4Para.5Para.6Para.7A.Famous food in Xinjiang.B.Famous food in Shandong.C.Food in South and central

3.What is the writers purpose in writing the passage?How does he achieve his purpose?To inform us of the fact:culture and cuisine go hand in hand.He achieves his purpose by giving examples of his experiences with Chinese food.4.What is the text type of the passage?The reason why the writer tells us about his experiences is that in this way,he can make us better understand the link between food and culture.So it is a piece of expository writing(说明文).Reading for structure and text typeTopic:_Chinese food in AmericaChinese food in Chinain Beijingin Shandongin_ in _in HenanConclusion:_Culture

ChinaCentral ChinaRead Para.2 carefully and answer the following questions.What is Americas most popular Chinese dish?And what can the dish tell us about Americans?Certainly,in many ways this seems to be true.Chinese cuisine is a case in point.Prior to coming to China,my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America,with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes.For example,Americas most popular Chinese dish is General Tsos chicken,which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce,flavoured with hot red peppers.This is probably not an authentic Chinese recipe,however,so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.On the other hand,it does tell us a lot about Americans.It tells us,for example,that Americans love bold,simple flavours.And,since the dish was also invented recently,it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.Read Para.3-6 carefully and complete the table.1stPlace Cuisine:Typical dish:2nd Place:Cuisine:Typical

related to each other by cause and effect.That is,one thing causes something else to happen.Cause-and-effect relationships can be direct.It was raining,so I took my umbrella.However,some cause-and-effect relationships are not direct,and some may also have more than one cause or effect.1.Do people living in different places share the same culture or different cultures?People living in different places share different cultures.2.Do people living in different places eat the same food or different kinds of food?People living in different places eat different kinds of food.People living in different places share different cultures.People living in different places eat different kinds of food.Which idea is“cause”and which idea is“effect”?Can you combine two sentences into one sentence?People living in different places share different cultures,so they have different kinds of food.People living in different places have different kinds of food because they have different kinds of food.Cause1.The flavour preferences of Americans often differ from those of the Chinese.2.We had no idea how to order food.3.These groups traditionally wandered the open range on horses.EffectA.The chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten.B.Their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire.C.Chinese food in America is changed to suit American tastes.Match the causes and effects below and find more examples from the text.We can use linking words or phrases like since,because,because of,so,therefore,as a result,consequently,as a consequence,thus etc.to describe the cause-and-effect relationship 1.Why cant General Tsos chicken tell us much about the Chinese?2.Why does General Tsos chicken tell us that Americans are not afraid to try new things?3.Why did the writer and his family go to a Sichuan restaurant in Beijing?4.Why did the chef just fill their table with food?5.Why did boiled dumplings become a favorite dish of the people in North China?1.Why cant General Tsos chicken tell us much about the Chinese?Because it is not an authentic Chinese recipe.2.Why does General Tsos chicken tell us that Americans are not afraid to try new things?Because it was recently invented in America.3.Why did the writer and his family go to a Sichuan restaurant in Beijing?Because it had been recommended to them by a friend.4.Why did the chef just fill their table with food?Because they didnt know how to order.5.Why did boiled dumplings become a favorite dish of the people in North China?Because family is important to the people there and making dumplings has always been a family affair-with everyone joining to help.Questions for thought1.Do you think“culture and cuisine go hand in hand”?Give your reasons.I do think culture and cuisine go hand in hand.Reasons are as follows:Cuisine in certain places can tell us what the climate is like and what the geographical features are.And it also tells us much about the flavors they prefer.All this can demonstrate the personalities of a people in a specific place and its culture because so much of a culture is based on how it is eaten and served.2.What does eating the following food tell you about a person?spicy food junk food sweetsvegetarian food seafood2.What does eating the following food tell you about a person?Food What does eating the it/them tell you about a personSpicy foodJunk foodSweets Vegetarian foodSeafood2.What does eating the following food tell you about a person?Honestly speaking,I cant agree with the quote in this passage more.You are what you eat.And what you like eating can really tell people what you are.For example,one who likes spicy food probably loves adventure and excitement.They are eager to explore the world around them.My cousin,who is raised in Hunan,is a case in point.The more challenges she is faced with,the more excited she gets.Who doesnt like junk food and sweets?I mean,they are finger-licking delicious!I just cant help thinking of the fried chickens,potato chips and ice creams and chocolates when Im saying this.But they also come with a price.If you dont know when to stop,youll gain weight sooner than youd imagine.So if you like junk food,you should seriously think about self-control.Dont lose control of your weight,your life and everything.I wish I liked vegetarian food more.Vegetables and fruits provides you with the fibres needed to maintain your health.These are people who are health-conscious.Seafood is for those who love fresh and original taste.I think these people are genuine and good at enjoying their own lives.All in all,the food you consume can tell a little bit,if not all of your personality.So take care of what you eat.You can become a better person!Build up your vocabularyFind words from the reading passage which have similar meaning to the words in italics.1.Well need ten months at least to have the restaurant decorated.2.Some traditional Chinese dishes from before the Ming Dynasty are still popular today.3.My grandpas breakfast mainly includes wholegrain biscuits and a glass of milk.4.People in this area would eat nearly a kilo of cheese per week.5.We
