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.

When we look across a field, how do we know that one distant object is bigger than another or that one object is behind another, not in front of it? In other words, how do we see things in three dimensions, in proper relation to each other, instead of seeing every thing “ flat ”? The answer is that when we see things we see things in the light of experience. Our minds and memories help us to interpret what we see. For instance, experience gives us an idea about the size of things. A man on a boat some distance from the shore looks much smaller than a man on the beach. But you don’t think that one is very large man and the other a very small man. What you say to yourself is that one man is nearby and the other is far away.
