There is a famous saying from the French politician J.A. Brillat-Savarin that goes: “Tell me what kind of food you eat, and I will tell you what kind of man you are.” It can be easy to not really think about what you eat. For example, whenever you go into a supermarket to buy a drink, it is all too easy to pick up an ice cream or a piece of chocolate as well. You might not even really want them, but sometimes their bright, nice packaging(包装) can be too hard to refuse.

So, in our special food magazine we will show you why you should really pay more attention to what you eat! Food not only influences our health but also our beliefs, customs and personalities.　

The first article will look at the way fast food is leading to obesity (肥胖). The famous cook, Jamie Oliver, has made it his purpose to introduce ideas about healthy eating. In a speech, Jamie Oliver told the world that during the 18 minutes that he gave his speech, four Americans would die because of the food that they ate! Obesity is also a growing problem in China. As China Daily reported in February, the number of obese people under the age of 18 in China has reached 120 million.

Jamie has worked for 10 years to try and fight this problem. Learning about food is important not just because of health problems but also because many people still don’t have enough food today. And we know as the improvement of science sometimes we have to face genetically modified (转基因) food. Don’t worry – we’ll make you know more about all these topics in our special article!　

We’ll also tell you something interesting about food. For example, do you know what the largest food on the menu is all over the world? It’s the roasted camel and it has been served for several hundred years, often stuffed (填满) with chicken, lamb, egg, fish and rice!　

Hopefully by the time you finish reading this edition(版本), you’ll pay more attention to the food that you eat. As Oliver says, food is something that can help us enjoy our life. It is important that we love it!

A. health　　　　 B. beliefs　　　　 C. customs　　 　 D. dreams

There is a famous saying in the West: Eat breakfast like a king. It means breakfast should be the most important meal of your day. Why?

The answer is in the word breakfast itself. Breakfast means “breaking of the fast(禁食期)”. There are about twelve hours between dinner and breakfast, so it’s important to eat breakfast to keep in good health. Also, the food for breakfast will give you what you need in the day.

Eating a good breakfast is important, but not many people are changing their eating habits. In the USA, about 60% of people have their main meal in the evening. For most Japanese and Australians, the evening meal is the main meal of the day, too.

" To seek(追求) happiness is to look for it" was once said by the famous French author Jules Renard. Look for it? Sure…but don't spend a lifetime trying, especially if it's well within your reach but you're just too blind to see it. Discover the three keys to happiness that you have already understood, but that you are just too afraid to find it.

1. Accepting Yourself

The idea of happiness is difficult to understand if you are not at peace with yourself. Learn to accept yourself as you are. Your next step will be to improve your attitude for tomorrow, for the next day, for the day after that, and so forth.

By beginning to accept reality, you will come to the final point of true happiness. Only when you are at peace with yourself, will you finally be able to admit(承认) that you are, in fact, a happy person.

2. Forgiving Others

Forgiving others is a true show of humanity(入性) which also allows us to feel more at ease. When you learn to forgive, you also learn to keep a firm hold on your life. To forgive is to open the doors of personal satisfaction. Yet you simply open your mind to answer, " Do I really want to allow my anger to grow and eat me from inside out?"

3. Helping Your Neighbors

When a friend seems to be suffering from a state of depression(沮丧) , it's quite easy to help him or her out of the trouble. The best attitude to have in this situation is to make him or her understand that he or she is not alone.

If you come to save a friend in need, you'll feel a lot more at peace with yourself. You will feel high—spirited by knowing that someone is looking at life on the brighter side thanks to your kind words.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填人题前括号内。

1.What’s the wriyer’s purpose in mentioning what Jules Renard said?

C.Helping Your Neighbors　　 D.Keys to Happiness

3.We are advised to

A.change our lifestyle　　　 B.appreciate ourselves

C.make more friliends　　 D.learn from others

4.According to the passage, a happy person is most probably

There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat", and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts（专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

"When we say some people 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts." said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."

In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.The underlined word "it" in the sentence "Many experts use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit." refers to______.

A. the sweet food　　                 B. the English saying

C. the American team　　             D. the eating habit

2.According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people______.

A. overweight　　     B. excited　　     C. relaxed　　     D. friendly

3.The scientists found that the people who preferred______ were less helpful.

A. chips　　         B. chocolate　　     C. ice-cream　　     D. cookies

4.It can be learnt from the passage that______.

A. scientists asked college students questions about their future

B. scientists told college students not to eat sweet food

C. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others

D. people's character has nothing to do with their taste
