In Western countries, bread is one of the most important foods. When they get up in the morning many people eat toast(烤面包). They spread butter and jam on their toast. People eat bread at other times of the day too. For example, at main meals, they often eat bread with soup.

　 It's also very common to eat sandwiches. A sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling inside salad, cheese or fish. A hamburger is a kind of sandwich.

　 There are many different kinds of bread. Some are special to some countries. For example, the baguette(法国棍子面包) is a long, thin loaf that began in France.

　 There is also white bread and whole-wheat(全麦面) bread. What's the difference? White bread is refined(精制的). It has things taken out of it to make it softer and easier to eat. The trouble is, white bread also has lots of goodness taken out. Although some people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread, it is much healthier.

　 Some kinds of bread have additives(添加剂). They are put into the bread for many reasons. Some additives are good for you, for example, vitamin C. Others are there to make the bread last longer. Still others to make it taste better-but they do not necessarily make the bread healthier to eat!
