1. 由时间状语"over 3,000 years ago"可知句子时态为一般过去时，turn的过去式为turned。
2. 固定短语at first意为“起初，一开始”，因此将基数词one变为序数词first。
3. 此处符合固定结构use sth. to do sth.，表示“用某物做某事”，填不定式to express表目的。
4. 此处要表达“人们的手指”，需用名词所有格people's修饰后面的名词fingers。
5. 空后是名词countries，需要用形容词作定语修饰名词，Asia的形容词形式是Asian，意为“亚洲的”。
6. 根据常识，用筷子敲碗、用筷子指向他人是不符合中国餐桌礼仪的，proper的反义词improper意为“不恰当的、不合适的”，符合语境。
7. 固定用法"the + 形容词"可表示一类人，the elderly意为“长辈、年长者”，符合句意。
8. 此处需要副词修饰动词broken，quick的副词形式是quickly。
9. 前面有数词Ten修饰，可数名词pair要使用复数形式pairs。
10. 固定短语thousands of意为“数千的、成千上万的”，是固定搭配。
