Eating Habits and HealthOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. 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 for the stomach if we eat them at the end of the 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 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 truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was sign that he wasn’t telling the truth. He was telling lies. Altho ugh this seems very strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something had difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.1. Why do you want to develop good eating habits? Because we want to ____.A. be healthyB. be happyC. eat moreD. save time2.

It was long believed, and still is in many places, that all bats are blind. “Blind as a bat” is often heard. Yet they have no trouble flying on the darkest nights and finding their way around very well. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar!The bat’s radar system works the same way as the one that ships and planes use. As a bat flies through the air, he makes a sound that is too high for our ears to hear. If the sounds hit things they come back. The bat’s ears receive the messages. In this way they are able to tell the bat where the things are.Bats go out to look for food at night. In the day-time they hang in some dark places. Some people have the bats as bad animals. In fact, they are useful animals.1.

If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, t he listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers does.1.
