story of knife and fork, but there’s another set of utensils(

器皿

) used by billions of people

around the world

beginnings

___2___

cooking utensils to paper-wrapped bamboo sets at the sushi counter, there's more to chopsticks

than meets the eye.

Chopsticks

___3___

(develop) about 5000 years ago in China. The

(early) versions

Throughout history, chopsticks have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with another staple of Asian cuisine: rice.

variety. The starches(

淀粉质食品

and distinct grains of Western long- grain rice.

rice, it's a match made in heaven.
