V. Reading(每題3分。)

Chinese dishes vary widely in terms of location, ingredients, and cooking style. However, they all follow the same principle: using food as a way to stay close to good things and avoid bad things.

Hakka food also echoes the same principle. Because Hakka people had to work very hard to survive in early times,their great concern was having enough to eat. The ingredients they used were mostly local vegetables and meats. Moreover, as their lives required a lot of physical work, they needed more salt. Because pickled vegetables include more salt, they are commonly found on traditional Hakka people’s dinner tables. As for special events and festivals, Hakka people’s favorites are fermented bean curd*, meat balls, and fish balls.
