Do you eat meat? Well, if you do, then you might find next news
interesting. A study says that the world has a __(1)__ need for meat.
In 1960, the world ate 64 million tonnes of meat, about 21 kg for each
person. In 2007, the number rose to 268 million tonnes, about 40 kg for
each person. At the same time, __(2)__. In the 1960’s, beef was high on
the menu. Of the meat that was eaten, 40% was beef. In 2007, pork
became the star. Poultry, such as chicken, duck, and turkey, also became
popular, going up from 12% to 32 %, thanks to people’s worries about
their health these years. And __(3)__? You’re guessing the U.S.A., right?
The answer is Luxembourg! In 2007, each Luxembourger ate about 137
kg of meat! Second to Luxembourgers are Americans. In 2007, each
American ate about 126 kg. Now, enough with the numbers. I’m
playing you a song called Currywurst. The singer sings about his love
for the meat dish of the same name. Enjoy!

順利答題 (外國地理的先備知識)
Strategy 4 Luxembuger 由字尾 -er 即可判斷中文意義
如: worker, teacher…ect.
