  Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It's important for us to eat our meal at regular (规律的) time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago in England, some judges (法官) often decided whether (是否) a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man couldn't swallow (吞咽) the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Though this seems strange and foolish, they thought it was an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying something has difficulty in swallowing dry bread because he loses his appetite.

     Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man who made use of
them in many ways. Even today trees continue to serve man in many ways. Trees provide man with
fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses,
boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.
     In the tropics (热带地区) where it is very hot all through the year, trees protect man from the terrible
heat. They are also useful.in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy
rains which are so common in the tropics. If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) of some kinds to
hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface soil that is so important
and necessary to agriculture. The result is that the land becomes a desert. 
     There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very
rich fertile (肥沃的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the distant past had no enough knowledge
about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas where they lived and never planted new
ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown away and washed away by strong wind and heavy rain.
In the end the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

[     ]

Handshaking

  Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed open hands to each other as a sign of amity. As time went on and trade in cities grew prosperously, this practice was later somehow revised and gradually finalized into shaking hands.

  Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No, sometimes the Chinese scholars abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite, especially when she is a woman. In fact some people in western countries stand even more on ceremony and are more reserved than some Chinese today.

  Handshaking was first introduced into China after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of last century. Thanks to Dr. Sun Yat-sun, many unknown and unforeseen practices were imported from Europe, for example, to work on weekdays and to have a day off on Sundays, the brushing of teeth, and handshaking. In old China, when people met or parted, they bowed to each other and cupped their own hands one in the other, moving them up and down several times in front of the chest to pay obeisance. After almost a century the westernized way of greetings has not yet become very popular among the masses, while the age-old national practices have almost been forgotten.
