It is said that someone somewhere in the world is always eating sushi. It’s the healthy food for people of all cultures.
The first sushi was made in China in the 2nd century. Raw salted fish was eaten with rice. Like writing, Japanese traveled to China and took sushi back to Japan. It became popular. In the middle of the 17th century, people started putting salted fish in a box with rice. They kept it for a month before eating it.
In the early 19th century, raw fish on top of small pieces of rice became popular. It is like the sushi we eat today. By the late 20th century, we could buy sushi in shops.
People think the most important thing about sushi is its freshness. Raw fish can make us ill. When we buy a whole fish, the eyes should be clear. The fish should be clean and the skin shouldn’t be breaking up. When we buy cut fish, the meat should not smell bad.
1. When could people buy raw fish on top of small pieces of rice in shops?
A. In the 2nd century. B. In the 17th century.
C. In the 19th century. D. In the 20th century.
2. What is the most important thing for sushi?
A. Color. B. Price. C. Freshness. D. Size.
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Sushi is unhealthy food.

D. The first sushi was made in the 2nd century.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child said no. The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child said, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills (技巧) are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thinks that if she has a fishing rod, she will have fish to eat.
1. Why didn’t the child take the fish?
A. Because she didn’t like fish. B. Because she wanted his fishing rod
C. Because the old man had no fish. D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills
2. The writer thinks the child is ____ after she tells why she doesn’t want the fish.
A. smart B. hardworking C. unwise D. cute
3. We can learn from the passage that ____.
A. if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you won’t be afraid of anything.
B. if you have a fishing rod, you’ll have a lot of fish to eat.
C. “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life.
D. “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch
4. What is the best title for the article?
A. The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing Man
C. The Fishing Girl D. The Fishing Practice
