Day 4
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you saw the popular documentary, A Bite of China, then you’ll have an idea of what it’s like to take a bite of Chinese food culture.___1___
The first difference from China can be summed up in the word “money”.___2___In most Chinese restaurants, you do not tip the waiters and waitresses. But in America, not tipping is considered rude. Last summer in the United States, we paid as much as 15 percent in tips in some restaurants. It seems high, but this tip rate is quite normal.
Additionally (另外), in the United States, it is considered polite for a restaurant to serve all dishes at once so everyone eats their own dish at the same time.___3___Once I ate out with my friends in a restaurant in China, and my friends had to wait for me to finish eating for almost half an hour because my meal came so much later. I personally like it that all dishes are served at the same time in the United States.
___4___Steak is an American favorite and American people often ask for their steak only to be half-cooked so as to make it juicier.
American people also put lots of tasty sauces onto their plates. These complement (补充) the main ingredients of the food and make it taste even better, though they often make the food less healthy at the same time. It is common to add ketchup (番茄酱) and mustard to hotdogs, for example. Americans have tried copying traditional Chinese food in their many “Chinese restaurants”.___5___However, I dislike American-modified Chinese food because they add too much fat. Nevertheless, I recommend (推荐) you to try real American food, especially if you are a meat-lover.
There are so many aspects of American food culture that it is impossible to cover all of them in a short space. We cannot know all the aspects of a certain food culture, but we can learn about it, taste it, understand and respect it – and enjoy it.

A. The American diet is a combination of many cultures and cuisines (菜系).
B. The flavor of American food is best described as “juicy”.
C. In China, dishes are served as soon as they are finished.
D. But do you know what it’s like to have a bite of America?
E. American and Chinese restaurants add different sauces to food.
F. Always remember to give tips when you eat out in America.
G. They modify Chinese food by adding much more oil to make the taste stronger.
