本篇短文主要是对筷子进行了介绍。

1.根据“It's said that the first chopsticks were used in China 5, 000 years ago.”可知，筷子在中国是在5000年以前被使用。故答案为thousand。

2.根据“chopsticks have even widely used in many countries in Asia, such as China, Japan and Korea.”，可知筷子在很多亚洲国家被广泛使用。所填词是“in many countries in Asia”中in Asia的替换词，Asian“亚洲的”，故答案为Asian。

3.根据“The materials like bamboo and wood are common because they are easy to get. People also use bones for chopsticks. Even many valuable materials like silver can be used to make chopsticks.”可知筷子的材料有bamboo、wood、bones and silver。故答案为bamboo。

4.根据“The materials like bamboo and wood are common because they are easy to get.”可知，很容易得到竹子和木头这两种材料。所填词为副词，easily容易地。故答案为easily。

5.根据“never stick your chopsticks straight in your rice bowl”可知绝不能把筷子直直地插入碗中。bowl碗，故答案为bowl。

6.“Many kinds of materials are used to make chopsticks. ”句意：很多材料被用来做筷子。很明显，这个句子是被动语态，它和文中的“Chopsticks are made of different kinds of materials.”这个句子表达的是同一个意思。故答案为Chopsticks are made of different kinds of materials。
