2.pre-reading by questioning and answering
rice is main food in south china. what do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no rice to eat?
for reference: then people in the south would have to change their eating habit. they could turn to potatoes, wheat flour, cow and sheep cheese, cabbage, onions and garlic for food. they are the bases of the traditional food in north china.
if you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do?
for reference: i would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques. modern techniques could be introduced to increase the rice output, and  expand the area of fields.
