English people like to eat out. The rich go to big restaurants. The poor go to small ones or fast food restaurants. There are also a lot of foreign restaurants in England, such as Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese restaurants and so on. A good restaurant is usually big and clean. The waiters and waitresses wear uniforms. They are friendly and polite. When you are eating, you might hear gentle music. It makes you feel comfortable. It makes you feel time passes quickly, too. Small restaurants or fast food restaurants are noisier, but they are also clean and pleasant.

【推荐2】We often forget that people in other countries eat different things from us. In some countries, for example, rice is a staple food. In others, such as Britain and America, bread made from wheat is the most important food. In many African countries a kind of corn called maize is the most important food.
Most countries have dishes that were first created there. In China such dishes as sweet and sour pork, shark’s fin soup are very common. In Thailand and India people eat any different curries. They like their food hot and spicy. In England, a favorite dish is roast beef. The Italians eat pasta, which is a kind of noodle made from wheat. French food is very famous everywhere. It is often very rich.
In recent years fast food—sometimes called ‘junk food’—has become very popular all over the world. It was invented in the USA, and the first fast food was the hamburger. Interestingly, a hamburger does not actually contain ham. It’s made from ground beef .There are restaurants and takeout places selling hamburgers in most cities of the world.
The most international food, however, is Chinese. There probably isn’t a city anywhere that does not have at least one Chinese restaurant. This is because there are so many different dishes from so many different parts of China that there is something for everyone, whatever their favorite kind of food．

【推荐1】Why do some people look happier than others? The good news is that you may be one of them if you follow these habits of happy people from my book Find Your Happiness.
Make possible goals. Happy people are great goal makers. They work hard for their goals every day. Ask yourself if you are making possible goals and if you can reach them by working hard.
Don’t use the word “luck”. When you look at happy people, you may say, “They’re so lucky.” But in fact, the word”luck”is not in their dictionary. Instead, they believe that hard work and confidence (信心) bring great results.
Don’t try to win in an argument. Happy people are busy making their goals come true. They understand that spending time fighting with others takes them away from what they care about most. They love hearing people talk about their ideas, but they won’t spend time trying to force people to accept their ideas.
Try to look farther. Happy people don’t spend much time thinking about happiness. They live for now and enjoy their life. Happy people have difficulties, too, but they see them as chances to learn more and grow better.
Want to be a really happy person? Follow these habits and try to change yourself into what you wish to be like.

Confucius is a master of thinking. He came up with many great ideas. But what’s the most well-known and influential one? That may be the idea of the golden mean. Have you heard of it? Do you know its real meaning? According to Zhongyong, the golden mean is an interesting topic. In Confucianism (儒家思想), it is seen as an important virtue (品德). Confucius speaks highly of it.
However, it is easily misunderstood. People often think it means not working hard or going for being perfect as much as possible. The key point of the golden mean is to keep balance (平衡), neither too little nor too much. The character “Zhong” means to be moderate (不偏激的) in one’s words and behaviors. “Yong” has two meanings—being common and unchanging. This way of thinking is useful in our daily life.
For example, when we write a story, we shouldn’t use too many fancy (华丽的) words. But it doesn’t mean we can’t use any beautiful language in the story.
Also, when we are exercising, we can’t do too much every time or we might get hurt. But it doesn’t mean we should never exercise. The key is to walk a fine line.
This kind of thinking makes a difference to our life. The golden mean is always being praised by our nation. President Xi Jinping said we should respect cultural diversity (多样性). We should be confident but not too arrogant (自负的) in cultural exchanges.

【推荐3】Confidence（自信）is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions:
Speak loudly. When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so slow that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak aloud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. When you are athletic, you will be full of confidence.
Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day and see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.
Get rid of fear. Fear comes along with failure（失败）. But it’s easy to get over if you know that failure is a part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something foolish last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

It can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor(副教授)of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (单独地) each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids' productivity. School went from impersonal to personal (富有人情味的) , and that led to more class participation(参与) and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my hellos were answered far less often than the ones in the countryside. Similarly, people in vacation areas, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work in the centre of the city.
It's a form of health insurance(保险). It's impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure(血压) , make people feel happier and improve happiness. It seems that saying hello creates a similar influence.
So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.

【推荐2】One fine day the Warthogs(疣猪）were walking among some trees.
“Remember,” said Mr. Warthog, “this is a dangerous place. Always stick to the paths and never go off exploring things that don’t concern you.”
Suddenly, a terrible noise came into their ears. “Baby warthogs, I’ve warned you before,” said Mrs Warthogs.
“That wasn’t me,” said Baby Warthog. “ It was the lion up there!”
Sure enough, a lion was hanging upside down from the tree above them. He was caught in a trap(陷阱）.
“Please,” said lion, “let me down. I’ve been up for three days and I think I’m hungry and thirsty to death.”
“How silly you think we are?’ said Mr. Warthog. “ If you are down, you will eat us!”
“I promise I won’t !” pleased Lion. “I am so weak for food, so I am as harmless as a small cat.”
So the warthogs undid the trap and set the lion free.
“Thank you so much,” said Lion. “Dear Mr. Warthog, sweet Mrs. Warthog and lovely, delicious, good-enough-to-eat Baby Warthog, I am so grateful, I could just gobble you up!”
Mr. Warthog didn’t like the sound of that. She didn’t like the way lion was looking at Baby Warthog and licking his lips either.
“Like this?” said Mrs. Warthog, and she pulled hard so that the rope went tight and Lion was once again hanging upside down from the tree.
“What did you do that for?” said Lion.
“My family and I set you free,”said Mrs. Warthog. “ and you were going to thank us by eating Baby Warthog here! What an ungrateful guy you are!”
The Warthogs turned their backs and walked away with their noses in the air.
Lion hung upside down like that for another three days until Grass Mouse came by.
“Excuse me,” said Lion, who was now so weak for lack of food that his voice was just a whisper. “Would you please be kind enough to help me down? I promise I won’t hurt you.
Grass Mouse’s mother told him to stay away from lions, but she had also said that he should always help other animals in trouble. Grass Mouse climbed up the tree and with his sharp front teeth he gnawed through the rope that was holding lion.
“Thank you so much,” said the Lion when he was back on the ground.
Lion wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, so instead of thinking about eating Grass Mouse, he promised to help him whenever he is in trouble.
