A
Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression （印象） of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants（移民） to the UK have come from Guangdong.
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef（大厨） Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had a very fixed view of Chinese food. But now you are seeing more regional Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Cantonese food（粤菜）.”
Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more regional foods are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times.

Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not — chicken claws, duck heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good. 1. What made it possible for the writer to eat Cantonese food? A. The coming of Chinese immigrants from Guangdong. B. The delicious taste of Cantonese food. C. The writer’s preference for sweet food. D. The easy way of cooking Cantonese food. 2. Which of the following statement is right?
A. More regional foods are becoming successful only in big cities like New York. B. The writer has very good impressions of Chinese food. C. Americans think Chinese may eat a member of one’s family. D. Foreigners’ attitudes towards Chinese food have changed entirely. 3. The following paragraphs will probably be talking about . A. Chinese people’s impressions of foreign food B. how to appreciate Chinese food C. how to cook Chinese food
D. the writer’s experience of eating Chinese food

She was returning from teaching out in a small community (社区). It was a moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.
She remembered back to when she had first started teaching out in small communities. In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been shot in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn’t become worried about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car

in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.
The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. She felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour. “I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.
