has about five thousand years history. they may spend half of their time on food. chinese people choose food very carefully. they only use fresh materials（新鲜的材料）to make food. for example, they only eat fresh fish. chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. they can cook a chicken in over ten ways. 61 western countries, like england or america, dont have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets which only sell stored materials (储存的材料). 62 they are healthy for mans body. western people do not have many skills for cooking, and mostly they only boil, steam (蒸) and bake the food. by the way, western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. they can make very good cakes and chocolate. 63 in china, the person who invites other people for meal would pay for the meal, but its not the same way in western countries. 64 they can afford it. they wont be happy if you pay for them. in western countries like america or england, people will always give tips (小费) to the waiter after they finish the meal in a restaurant. if you dont, the waiter will not be happy. in china this only happens in some top restaurants and hotels in large cities like beijing, shanghai and guangzhou.another difference in eating is that: 65 chinese people only have three meals during a day. but western people may have more. they usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit, cakes or biscuits with cheese (奶酪饼干).根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。a. these food are very sweet and they can make you become fat quickly.b. chinese people use
