As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are not accepted. Many people would find it terrible to eat mice, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard mice as proper food.Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.But dislikes is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is not allowed. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture.One example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from some other cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. Whats more, dogs have value as protection against criminals. In fact, the dogs place in society as a company makes the dog taboo as food.Scientists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans drink milk or eat a lot of beef because there is thousands of land for raising cows and their milk or meat can be shipped cheaply far away by train.（1）The writer uses the example of mice as food to show that _. A . some cultures may seem really strangeB . eating properly is very difficultC . people may eat very different thingsD . understanding between different cultures is easy（2）Eating dogs is a taboo in America because _.A . Dogs are companies of people in society.B . It is a taboo from the Fiji Islands.C . Dogs are needed by the police.D . It is against American laws.（3）What is the main idea of the passage?A . Nutritions.B . Food dislikes.C . Food and Culture.D . Science in Eating.13. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Not so long ago, people lived in big families. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.At that time, people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals.
