food. Here are some suggestions for making it easier to try foreign cuisine.

閱讀文章後選出最正確的答案。
Each culture has their own special food that can help people stay
young and healthy. Mediterranean people, for example, eat a lot of citrus
fruits, such as oranges and lemons, to slow down aging and reduce heart problems. Greeks and the Spanish also like to
use a lot of olive (橄欖) oil on their skin because it keeps skin smooth and healthy. In
addition, South Americans believe that the juice of aloe vera (蘆薈) can help
prevent skin dryness and wrinkles (皺紋). As for the Chinese, they believe that tofu and green tea can help
improve people’s looks. Tofu makes skin smooth and prevents cancer, while green
tea can prevent certain diseases, lower blood sugar, and help control weight.
Moreover, the Chinese use many herbs (藥草) to make medicine or cook with food, because most of the herbs are
considered good for people’s health.
In order to stay young, we must eat wisely because how we grow old
is mostly affected by our lifestyles. The key to looking good is not using a
lot of cosmetics but developing healthy eating habits which will improve our
lifestyles as well as our looks.

Unsavory Flavors of the Mediterranean
Like most cultures, food is very important
to the Mediterranean culture. There are three areas—North Africa, Southern
Europe, and the Middle East—surrounding the Mediterranean .
Each of them has their own essential food used to welcome guests and relatives.
However, it might be hard for people from other cultures to accept the food
there.
Since there is not much beef in the Mediterranean , sheep and fish are very popular there.
However, eating some of the popular dishes there may be a challenge for foreign
guests. For example, a sheep’s head is a favorite dish in the Middle
East , and the eyes are usually saved for significant guests. People in the Middle East
like their sheep to be overweight so the mutton
there often contains a lot of fat. Raw
fish is another delicacy in the Mediterranean .
Sometimes, the fish is served and eaten while it is still moving on the plate.
It is important not to offend the host by refusing to eat or showing dislike for
the food. It would be better to try some of the food and express thanks to the
host for sharing it with you. By doing so, you can not only show your respect for the host’s culture, but
also obtain an amazing experience of
trying something that is actually more exotic than unsavory.

[文章中譯]
地中海的特色風味
和大多數文化一樣，食物對地中海文化極為重要。環繞地中海的有三大地區──北非、南歐和中東。他們各有代表食物用來接待親友。但對來自其他文化的人來說，可能很難接受那裡的食物。
由於地中海沿岸的牛肉不多，羊肉和魚在此很常見。但外地來客要品嚐那兒的部分名菜，可能是一大挑戰。例如，羊頭是中東很受歡迎的菜餚，而羊眼通常保留給重要的貴賓。中東人喜歡把羊養得肥美，所以那裡的羊肉脂肪多。生魚是地中海沿岸另一道美食。有時候，盤裡的魚還在動就被端上桌享用。
對食物別拒之千里或表現不悅以免冒犯主人這點是很重要的。最好嘗試一些並感謝主人樂於分享。這樣作，不僅能表達出你對主人文化的尊重，同時也得到嘗試奇特異國風味的美好經驗。
