Our eating habits are very important to good health and 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 meals at regular（有规律的）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 a man was telling the truth（真相）by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow（吞咽）the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Though this seemed strange and foolish, they thought it was an wonderful way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.
