Paragraph 1
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-Savarin was referring to our personality, character and culture.
法国作家安塞尔姆·布里拉特-萨瓦林曾经写道:“告诉我你吃什么，我就能告诉你你是什么样的人。”更简单地说，这意味着“你是什么人取决于你吃什么。”今天大多数人把这句话和健康饮食联系在一起。然而，Brillat-Savarin说的是我们的个性、性格和文化。
While-reading：
Paragraph 1
Q1.What’s the purpose of the author using the quote in Para1
Q2. “You are what you eat.” What does the quote mean
To introduce the topic. To come up with the relationship between food and culture.
It means that the kind of food we eat tells something about our personality, character, and culture.
Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. Prior to coming to China, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America, with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes. For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red peppers. This is probably not an authentic Chinese recipe, however, it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love bold, simple flavours. And, since the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.
当然，从许多方面来看，这似乎是真的。中国菜就是一个很好的例子。在来中国之前，我对中国烹饪的唯一体验是在美国，那里的中国食物已经被改变以适应美国人的口味。例如，美国最受欢迎的中国菜是左宗棠鸡，它由裹着甜酱的炸鸡组成，用红辣椒调味。这可能不是一个正宗的中国食谱，但是，它不能告诉我们太多关于中国人的事情。另一方面，它确实告诉了我们许多关于美国人的事情。例如，它告诉我们，美国人喜欢大胆、简单的口味。而且，因为这道菜也是最近发明的，它告诉我们美国人不害怕尝试新的食物。

Main idea: the experience with Chinese food in America.
Q1. What is the most popular Chinese food in America
Q2. Is it an authentic(真正的) Chinese food Why
Q3. What can the dish tell us about Americans
Paragraph 2
It tells us that Americans love bold(浓烈的，英勇的), simple flavours and are not afraid to try new foods.

Later I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. When my family and I had just arrived in China, we went looking for a good place to eat in Beijing. A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend, and finally, we found it. Tired, hungry, and not knowing a word of Chinese, we had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten. With this, we had the pleasure of experiencing an entirely new taste: Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.
后来我有机会来到中国，体验正宗的中国菜。当我和我的家人刚到中国时，我们去北京寻找一个吃饭的好地方。一个朋友向我们推荐了一家川菜馆，最后，我们找到了。我们又累又饿，而且一句中文也不懂，不知道该如何点菜，所以厨师开始给我们的桌子上摆满了我们吃过的最好的食物。借此，我们有幸体验了一种全新的味道:四川花椒。食物很棒，也很不同，但更重要的是我们之间的友谊。

We soon moved to Shandong Province in the eastern part of North China. My favourite dish there was boiled dumplings served with vinegar. I observed that family is important to the people there. It has become a favourite traditional dish of the people in North China, where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone---from the youngest to the oldest---joining in to help. Later, I learnt that the most famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions.
我们很快到了华北东部的山东省。我最喜欢的菜是饺子蘸醋。我注意到那里的人很看重家庭。它已经成为中国北方人民最喜爱的传统菜肴，在那里包饺子一直是每个人的家庭事务-从最小的到最大的-都来帮忙。后来，我知道了山东最有名的食物是夹有中国葱片的煎饼卷。

Then we moved to northern Xinjiang. Some of our friends were Kazak and Inner Mongolian. These groups traditionally wandered the open range on horses. As a result, their traditional foods are what you can cook over an open fire---usually boiled or roasted meat, such as lamb kebab.
然后我们到了北疆。我们的一些朋友是哈萨克人和内蒙古人。

Our travels then took us to South China, and then on to central China. In each place we went, we experienced wonderful local dishes, from Guangdong’s elegant dim sum---small servings of food in bamboo steamers---to the exceptional stewed noodles in Henan. Everywhere, the food was as varied as the people. However, one thing is always true: Through food, Chinese people everywhere show friendship and kindness.
我们的旅行团带我们去了中国南方，然后去了中国中部。每去一个地方，我们都品尝美味的当地菜肴，从广东的精美点心(用竹制蒸笼盛的小份食物)到河南的特色烩面。无论在哪里，食物都和人们一样丰富多彩。然而，有一点永远是真的:通过食物可以看出，每个地方的中国人都会表现出他们的友谊和善良。

Read para 2-6 again and complete the table below
At a minimum, the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region, what kinds of lives they lead, and what they like and do not like. Could we also say, for example, that those who like bold flavours are bold themselves Or, that those who like spicy food tend to have a hot temper Maybe. Maybe not. What we can say, however, is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand, and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other.
至少，当地人消费的食物种类告诉我们他们在当地种植什么，他们过着什么样的生活，以及他们喜欢什么和不喜欢什么。例如，我们是否也可以说，那些喜欢大胆口味的人本身就是大胆的？或者说，那些喜欢吃辣的人往往脾气暴躁？也许吧。也许不是。然而，我们可以说的是，文化和美食是携手并进的，如果你没有经历过其中之一，你永远不会真正了解另一个。
Main idea: Culture and cuisine go hand in hand.
