Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific (具体的) meaning, and play an important role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions. The foods we eatand when and how we eat themare often unique (独特的) to a particular culture or may even differ between rural and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special time or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread. Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States , pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which means success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play an important role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families come and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to show family unity. Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world. 21. According to the passage, sharing bread_.

BJust finishing loading his car, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. “ I guess filling my thermos ( 保温瓶) is all I have left to do, and then Im off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos. With a nostalgic( 怀旧 ) look on his face, he softly said, “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us. “Oh honey, I know shes watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,”I answered, tears in my eyes. One morning years ago when we were leaving, Mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then causally said,“Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.”With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was surprised by his own short of common sense, well, of course it would!

The healing herbs from ancient days are still the healing herbs of modern times. Throughout all of these years herbs have stayed unchanged; their quality stays as strong as ancient man and animals found it to be thousands of years ago.

Researchers found that Aspilia leaves had a kind of antibiotic (抗生素). These chimpanzees surely knew this plant would help heal their disease. Some herbs mask the smell of smelly meat. The Egyptians used many kinds of herbs to preserve their dead. In a word, for thousands of years herbs were used for many purposes, such as preserving our foods, healing our body and so on. They can continue to play an important part in our lives if we open our minds to their importance and usefulness. In my opinion, it is always better to treat naturally with herbs, than to treat illnesses with man-made medicines. There are few if any side effects to take herbs. 33.
