Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food Is it because the spices make the food taste better Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great—grandparents like hot food,or is there some connection between spices and healthy food
Researchers from Cornell University think that is because spice plants contain some important chemicals.These chemicals can kill bactria( 细菌)which spoil( 使变质 )food.“Most common spices like garlics(大蒜)，onions and hot peppers can kill 75﹪ to 100﹪ of the bacteria in food,”explains one of the biologists .The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures.For this reason,it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot weather.
Researchers also found that people in colder countries use very few of the spices that cooks use in warmer parts of the world.Canadian cooks, for example,don’t use hot peppers very often .Danish,Swedish,and Norwegian food is very mild because it has few spices.
The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer,healthier lives.Today,in a time of fridges and freezers,the spices just make the food taste good.
根据短文内容填空，每空一词。
Because 1 the better taste , people 2 to add 3 to their food nowdays.But 4 reason is that spices sometimes can kill the bacteria which spoil food. 5 We can say that the traditional spicy dishes helped those people live longer and more healthy.
