Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast food restaurants for these.
In the past, people usually went to diners(路边小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first“diner”in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.

Positive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated(受挫折的) or depressed, they don't ignore it.But they don't blame themselves either.Instead, they try to understand the negative thoughts and feelings and counter(反击) them with more positive ones.
So how do you stay positive, maintain motivated and sustain(保持) healthy behaviors? Here are some tips:
Look for a good role model.There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want to be doing.Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea.Learn from a successful friend, family member or colleague.Ask them how they keep healthy and follow in their footsteps.
Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative-talk.Take a minute to give yourself an ego boost.Repeat some motivational words out loud to yourself.Negative talk such as "I can't do it," "I'm fat," is dangerous for your well-being and healthy goals.Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you.Remind yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes.
