People in every country enjoy this activity, There are so many differentkinds of food in the world - Chinese food, Italian food, South American food，Indian food, and manyothers. It's fun to eat and compare, different types of cuisine, Italian food is sometimes very spicy, butSouth American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all-sometimes it's sohot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italianor French wine to reduce the burning!Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts ofthe world. Lots of people love Chinese style vegetables because they are so crispy. BecauseChinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crisper thanAmerican-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes lessnutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals awayfrom home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozenfood, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend alot of time cooking. It's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or takethe famlily out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after along, hard day.Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an "art form". Some people believethat French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each personhas a different opinion, about whichcountry has the tastiest food.

And not just any cell phone - the iPhone3G.According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Sociallnformatics atTokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free aspart of their study materials.This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representativeof the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about l,000.This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japaneseuniversity.The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system(GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem inJapan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Studentsoften fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls. Now, with the iPhone 3G, the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students areallowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a factthat will be proved by the phone's GPS), lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can'tanswer the roll call using the phone from any location other than the classroom.Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates,but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phonesthat they don't want to share with others.As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, butstudents will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.6.

The life ofCoco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she was abandoned by her father afterher mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nicknameCoco, which means "little pet".Starting out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worm at the time. "Howcan a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead, she created simple, but beautifuldesigns which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris. Strangely enough, World War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance fromhats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to showthat less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck (叠领)sweater and pants for women.In 1923, Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who doesnot wear perfume has nofuture!" she said, and women believed her. Since its first appearance, Chanel No. 5 has been theworld's most popular perfume, with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds.

We have probably all bad lectures telling that laziness isimmoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can bemore harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear tobe lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers andthey are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideasstolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work.Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with "easier" work on hand.Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting off their work.Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are reallythinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoverieshappened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised thetheory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy, particularly if that"laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his jobright. And sometimes, being "lazy" - that is, taking time off for a rest - is good for the overworkedstudents or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying toohard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So becareful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his orher next work.16.
