Insects on the Menu
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to eat. Therefore, being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to even try them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over the “yuck” factor.
1. Which is the reason given for gathering and eating insects? A. They are very easy to find close to the home.
B. They are more nutritious than most vegetables.
C. They come in all shapes and sizes.
D. They are easier to catch than other prey animals.
2. Why are deep-fried insects considered a perfect snack food? A. Because they taste exactly like corn chips.
B. Because they don’t fill you up.
C. Because they have a crunchy texture.
D. Because they are not expensive.
3. Which insects are not mentioned in the passage?
A. water bugs B. grasshoppers C. beetles
4.Where are insects a regular part of the street food?
D.crickets
A. France B Thailand C. Britain
D. All of the above
5.What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be courageous B. Eat very cautiously
C. Try eating worms first D. Always cook your insects
5. Read the text, and identify whether the statements are true (T), or false (F).
Son Doong Cave in Viet Nam - Good Morning America
Son Doong Cave and Swallow Cave (En Cave) were recorded and broadcast on Good Morning America - a programme of ABC Television (USA). By being broadcast on Good Morning America (ABC Television), Son Doong Cave would be introduced widely to international travellers.
This is a good chance for Quang Binh tourism to promote the image of Son Doong - the biggest cave in Viet Nam - to travellers around the world. Therefore, the film crew worked in the most favourable conditions. The programme was directly broadcast on satellite in May 2015.
The cave is a part of the underground system connecting over 150 other caves in Viet Nam near Viet Nam - Lao border with many caves such as Phong Nha Cave.
Son Doong Cave is compared equally to Mount Everest in terms of attraction. The biggest natural cave in the world is appreciated to be an interesting destination for a several-day tour, including exploring underground rivers, caves and camping... The overwhelming natural landscapes inside Son Doong Cave create an attraction by majestic and magnificent scenes. It takes months to end up a cave’s round. In addition, the condition to join tours in Son Doong Cave is extremely high? Adventurers must be in good mental and physical health to conquer the cave. Son Doong, the biggest cave in Viet Nam, along with other attractions in Quang Binh, is an attractive destination for travelers, especially those who are fans of natural exploration. The first exploration tour was held in early August 2013.
