There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man couldnt eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.1.Why must we have good habits?

Then it was Mr. Dephews turn.“Mr. Toastmaster (宴会主持人) and ladies and gentlemen,” said Mr. Dephew as he rose, “ Before this dinner, Mark Twain and I made an arrangement to trade speeches.

The difference is that one part is rich and the other part is poor. In the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat too much. In one part, children go hungry and in the other, a lot of people get fatter and fatter and go on diets or do special exercises in order to lose weight. The poorer countries are called the “developing countries.” They have special problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can be improved but a lot of things must be done first. New farming methods must be found. The people must be educated. Water must be found. Many problems are too big for one country to solve alone. Help must be given by the rich countries but it must be the right sort of help. Money is not enough. The developing countries must be helped to help themselves. But rich countries have problems, too. They are not always very pleasant. Usually, it is the things that make them rich and that also make them unpleasant. Sometimes the air is too bad to breathe and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water from. 11.What is the difference between the two parts of the world?
