Now more and more people in the world are getting fatter. This troubles them a lot. Experts(专家) say that it has a lot to do with  our eating habits.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. Most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than vegetables 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 in the same period  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 by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞) the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Because when a man is worried about something, he will have trouble in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.

If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to smoke without first asking if it will disturb them.

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I    older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep    the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the    score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.

On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The   and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me    that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour    from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and   saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium (体育场). He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.

Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I    up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the    way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my    in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!
