请阅读一篇有关中国人与西方人不同的饮食习惯的短文,根据所提供的信息,完成信息卡。
Customs on Eating
Food in China and western countries is different. China has about five thousand years' history. Chinese people may spend half of their time on food. They choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese people have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. So Chinese food is very popular around the world. Western countries, like England or America, don't have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets. -They only sell stored materials. Western people also prefer fast food like hamburgers and chips. They are unhealthy for people's body. Western people are very good at making desserts and chocolates. They can make very good cakes and chocolates. These food are very sweet and can make people become fat quickly.
In China, when people invite others for a meal, they would pay for the meal, but it's not the same way in western countries. In western countries, people will think you only invite them but don't need to pay for them. They won't be happy if you pay for them.
Another difference in eating is that: Chinese people use chopsticks but western people use knives and forks.
Chinese people only have three meals in a day. But western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit or cakes with cheese.

Typing(打字) is one of the most important and basic work skills of the 21st century. Because mobile phones are now so popular, there is a new kind of typing-thumbing. Thumbing means people use one or more thumbs(拇指) to touch the keys.
Most people can type between 20 and 35 words a minute. Some typists, however, can work very quickly, at more than 110 words a minute. And people's left hand usually does 56 percent of the typing.
The most common international English keyboard is QWERTY. People name it after the first letters on the top left side of the keyboard. It is more than 140 years old. Other keyboards include QWERTZ (in Central Europe) and AZERTY (used by most French speakers in Europe). Countries with non-Roman alphabets(字母系统), such as, Arabia, Russia or Japan, have their own keyboards.
People practise the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" to make their typing better. That's because it uses every letter of the English alphabet.
Thumbing and typing can hurt you. RSI (repetitive strain injury) is the name of a medical condition you get if you type too much. However, most people do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be. Anyone who uses a computer a lot is at risk and should know about RSI.
