Belgium is divided into three communities．Each one has its own language and traditions．But the people of Belgium are united in their love for Belgian potato fries'The fries are prepared and sold the same way in all areas of the country．
The Reuters news service reports that potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century．But it was not until the 19th century that restaurants and others began selling fried potatoes throughout the country as a separate meal．
Recently，a Belgian group launched a campaign aimed at getting the United Nations （UN） to recognize the popular treat．The group wants the UN's Educational．Scientific and Cultural Organization to place the food on its cultural heritage （遺產(chǎn)）list．
The UNESCO list recognizes more than 300 objects，beliefs and practices．They include Turkish coffee and the traditional Chinese theater known as Peking opera．The list also includes a dance，the Argentinian tango，and the singing of the Aka pygmies of the Central African Republic，UNESCO says the list is"made up of intangible heritage elements （非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)元素）that help show the diversity of heritage and raise awareness about its importance．"
Belgian potato fries are traditionally sold in a paper wrapper，or cone，in a"fritkot"．There are about 5，000 fritkots in Belgium，That means they are 10 times more common as a percentage of the population as McDonald's restaurants in the United States．The national organization of fritkot owners says the small t often unfurnished buildings are much like Belgium itself．It says these buildings combine the country's acceptance of disorder with a dislike of structures that all look the same．The group says 95 percent of Belgians visit a fried potato hut at least once a year．

1．Imagine mountains enveloped in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn，these mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered with white frost.（1）
These terraces（梯田） were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years.（2）Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top.
（3）Firstly，there are few large flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces could increase the areas to grow rice.Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep（陡峭） and the soil is shallow，The fat terraces help catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
But perhaps the most important is the way people have worked in peace with nature.The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways connecting with each other.During the rainy season.rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces along these waterways.The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour（水蒸氣）.（4）These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish，some of which feed on insects harmful to crops.
Although modern technology helps produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value.（5）Thus，new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces.Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
A.Terraces were built to collect the rain.
B.These are the colors of the Longji Terraces.
C.This knowledge is passed down through families.
D.It wasn't completed until the early Qing Dynasty.
E.So how did people change the entire mountains into terraces？
F.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the terraces again.
G.So why did these people take trouble turning the entire mountains into terraces？發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:30:2組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5 -
