Lễ Tạ ơn: Một truyền thống Mỹ
Kỳ nghỉ lễ Tạ ơn của người Mỹ được tổ chức hàng năm vào ngày thứ năm thứ tư của tháng 11. Kỳ nghỉ lễ là vào mùa thu - mùa chính để thu hoạch mùa màng. Lễ Tạ ơn là một lễ hội thu hoạch mùa thu như những ngày được tìm thấy trong nhiều nền văn hoá trên thế giới. Vào ngày này, hầu hết người Mỹ tụ tập với bạn bè và gia đình. Nhiều người mất thời gian để suy nghĩ về những gì họ cảm ơn, nấu ăn một cơn bão, và ăn. Rất nhiều.
Ngôi sao của hầu hết các bữa tiệc Lễ Tạ ơn là một con gà tây nướng. Gà tây là loài chim lớn có nguồn gốc ở Bắc Mỹ. Gà tây được nấu chín trong một lò trong nhiều giờ, thường với một hỗn hợp cần tây, bánh mì, hành tây và gia vị bên trong chim. Sự pha trộn này trở nên nhồi nhét - một ngôi sao khác của bàn ăn tối Tạ ơn. Sau khi chim được nấu chín, món nhồi được đưa ra và phục vụ như một món ăn phụ. Một trong nhiều món ăn phụ. Gia đình thường làm các loại thực phẩm khác như khoai tây nghiền, khoai lang, nước sốt cranberry và khoai tây.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of thequestions.
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
